An example of VPEC-T applied

1. The story of VPEC-T and the Global Company

2. I want to standardise our corporate IT worldwide Oo-er, this'll be a challenge! No problem Boss! Deploy ACME ERP everywhere Chief Architect Enthusiastic Line-of-Business IT guy CEO

3. It isn't as easy as just implementing ACME ERP everywhere is it? The Lost In Translation “Translation Fish”

4. No. The problem is the local organizations are autonomous and so to dictate the IT solution from the centre would disrespect the business operating model!

5. We need to help the business understand the different Values, Policies and Trust-relationships that operate at the local level

6. Yes. That's how a VPEC-T workshop can help. This'll help get the business and IT aligned globally. To put it another way, we need to understand behaviour of the business both locally and globally.

7. The VPEC-T workshop Local business units have different business models We say different things under Values, Policy and Trust ...but Events and Content are the same. So 'One-size' won't fit all! Values Policies Events Content Trust

8. Now I see how to strike the right balance between global and local. I'm making this approach part of my business strategy . After the VPEC-T workshop ACME ERP can do whatever you want! We'll save $$$,$$$,$$$ in avoided IT costs by understanding how the business behaves and aligning the IT
