Ground rules for this
session…
•  If you can’t tell if I am trying to be funny…
–  
GO AHEAD AND LAUGH!
•  Feel free to text, tweet, yammer, or whatever.

I have a lot of experience leading
Systems and Event Management teams
My name is Andrew White
Strategy,
I am here today to share some of what I have learned about
Systems Thinking,
and Change.
QUESTION:
What value does your IT organization
create for your business?
HINT: “We provide infrastructure or applications the
business uses” is not a value proposition
If you can’t answer this question, how
can you be sure you are doing the
right things and doing them well…

Why do we need a
strategy?
•  Without a strategy, we fill our time with…
– … what we want, or
– … what we think the boss wants, or
– … by reacting.
•  Without a strategy, time and resources are
easily wasted on piecemeal, disparate
activities.
“Are you sure you have a strategy?” Donald C. Hambrick and James W. Frederickson Academy of Management Executive 2001 Vol. 15 No. 4

The combination of competitive moves and
business approaches that are chosen to help
the company reach specified goals

What Isn’t a Strategy
•  Strategy is not an action:
–  “We are implementing release management”
–  “We are deploying automation”
•  Strategy is not an aspiration:
–  “We are trying to be #1”
–  “We are trying to provide 99.999% uptime”
•  Strategy is not a vision:
–  “We want to understand our customers and satisfy their needs”
–  “We want to be a leading innovator”

Operational Effectiveness
Is Not Strategy

Operational effectiveness is about doing things better
than competitors, strategic is about doing things
differently from competitors. Operational effectiveness is
necessary to compete but not sufficient to win.

“What is Strategy,” Michael Porter, Harvard Business Review, November 1996, Reprint # 96608
It isn’t a strategy if you aren’t
forcing decisions to be made.

Five Dimensions of Strategy
•  a consciously and purposefully developed plan;
•  a ploy to outmaneuver a competitor;
•  a pattern in a stream of actions, whether
intended or not;
•  a position defined either with respect to a
competitor, in the context of a number of
competitors, or with respect to markets; and as
•  a perspective, i.e. a certain mindset of how to
perceive the world.

Sustainable Competitive Advantage
•  Unique competitive position for the company
•  Activities tailored to strategy
•  Clear trade-offs and choices vis-à-vis
competitors
•  Competitive advantage arises from fit
across activities
•  Sustainability comes from the activity system,
not the parts
•  Operational effectiveness a given

Key Concepts to
Understand
•  Objective: a desired outcome.  The terms Strategy and
Objective are not interchangeable. An objective
defines the results that supporting strategies must
achieve. 
•  Strategy: a method for achieving an objective.  Each
objective has a "necessary and sufficient set" of
strategies (roughly 2-8) which define it; each strategy
aims to achieve a single objective.  
•  Tactic: how the strategy is implemented. Each
strategy has a group of tactics (usually 2-8) to define
how the strategy will be implemented and when.  Each
tactic has a single strategy it aims to accomplish.

Why strategies fail…
1.  allowing too much complacency
2.  failing to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition
3.  underestimating the power of vision
4.  under communicating the vision 
5.  permitting obstacles to block the new vision
6.  failing to create shot term wins
7.  declaring victory too soon
8.  neglecting to anchor changes firmly in the corporate culture

Systems are Volatile
This change makes it difficult to control the
behavior of the system. The good news is that
systems are perfect. They always deliver the
optimum result given a specific stimuli.
A failure is not always a mistake, it
may simply be the best one can do
under the circumstances.

Unfortunately feedback has taken on both positive and negative
indications. In reality, positive feedback is not “praise” and
negative feedback is not “criticism.” Positive feedback
reinforces while negative feedback balances.

Our understanding of
your goals
§ Gaining visibility into and control of
an increasingly complex operating
environment in order to prevent
frequent and prolonged outages
§ Evolving from fault monitoring to a
holistic approach to managing
application performance
§ Increased focus on cloud makes
problem isolation and resolution
more complex.
PROACTIVE OPERATIONS
§ Optimizing the performance of
business processes to boost
productivity
§ Providing cost transparency to track,
analyze, and manage resources and
control the costs associated with
highly-virtualized and cloud
environments
§ Improving software asset
management to prevent over-
spending and under-licensing

CONTROL COST

§ Leveraging automation to facilitate
rapid growth and reduce the cost of
service delivery
§ Maintaining OS and application
patch levels across all images (active
or dormant) to protect the enterprise
and enable compliance
§ Automating application releases to
optimize service delivery and align
the Development and Operations
teams thereby increasing innovation,
reducing costs, and accelerating
time to value
ELIMINATE HUMAN FACTORS
Constant change is disruptive to an IT organization. We have experienced that many of our
clients use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate the way they operate their environments and
the tools they leverage to deliver a quality service.
We have identified three key goals driving the adoption of the cloud:
BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM
Follow Us: #ITSMSummit!
Reduce human errors
•  Physical Server Build – Single Server- e.g. Deploy
OS, Install Mozilla Firefox 18.0 followed by an
upgrade to 18.0.2; Deploy middleware and
application stacks
•  Virtual Server Build – Provision a VM from ISO or
Template and deploy software 
•  Server Patch (Client-Server scenario) - Shut down
client services, stop server, apply patch to server,
restart server, start client services
•  Sequenced OS Patching – Across different
environments (across systems that form a service,
e.g. email)
•  Patch Rollout – Patch machines 1-10, then 11-50,
then 51-1000 (patch Development, then patch Test,
then patch Production Environment)
Task sequencing
Update 90,000 servers in days with
70% less infrastructure than
currently using. Patch the OS of a
client-server system in 1 hour or
build a 2 tier application in hours.
Take endpoint automation to the next level:
BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM
Follow Us: #ITSMSummit!
Reduce costs & improve
operational efficiency
•  Leverage “Out of the Box” IEM fixlets, Tasks
and baselines in an Automation Plan across
groups of related servers
•  No programming skill required - Simple UI to
build automation
•  Higher levels of automation - All plans can be
created, saved, and re-used 
•  Conditional logic for each step in a plan
(initially success/failure)
•  View execution of plans - Completed and
running with drilldown

Organizations don’t fail
because they take the
wrong path, they fail
because they can’t
imagine a better path
than the one they are on.

  • 9. If you can’t answer this question, how can you be sure you are doing the right things and doing them well…
  • 10. BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM Follow Us: #ITSMSummit! Why do we need a strategy? •  Without a strategy, we fill our time with… – … what we want, or – … what we think the boss wants, or – … by reacting. •  Without a strategy, time and resources are easily wasted on piecemeal, disparate activities. “Are you sure you have a strategy?” Donald C. Hambrick and James W. Frederickson Academy of Management Executive 2001 Vol. 15 No. 4

  • 17. BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM Follow Us: #ITSMSummit!

Five Dimensions of Strategy •  a consciously and purposefully developed plan; •  a ploy to outmaneuver a competitor; •  a pattern in a stream of actions, whether intended or not; •  a position defined either with respect to a competitor, in the context of a number of competitors, or with respect to markets; and as •  a perspective, i.e. a certain mindset of how to perceive the world. Mintzberg, H. (1987). "The Strategy Concept I: Five Ps For Strategy." California Management Review 30(1) Fall: 11-24.

  • 31. BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM Follow Us: #ITSMSummit! Key Concepts to Understand •  Objective: a desired outcome.  The terms Strategy and Objective are not interchangeable. An objective defines the results that supporting strategies must achieve. •  Strategy: a method for achieving an objective.  Each objective has a "necessary and sufficient set" of strategies (roughly 2-8) which define it; each strategy aims to achieve a single objective.  •  Tactic: how the strategy is implemented. Each strategy has a group of tactics (usually 2-8) to define how the strategy will be implemented and when.  Each tactic has a single strategy it aims to accomplish.

We have experienced that many of our clients use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate the way they operate their environments and the tools they leverage to deliver a quality service. We have identified three key goals driving the adoption of the cloud:
  • 75. BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM Follow Us: #ITSMSummit! Reduce human errors •  Physical Server Build – Single Server- e.g. Deploy OS, Install Mozilla Firefox 18.0 followed by an upgrade to 18.0.2; Deploy middleware and application stacks •  Virtual Server Build – Provision a VM from ISO or Template and deploy software •  Server Patch (Client-Server scenario) - Shut down client services, stop server, apply patch to server, restart server, start client services •  Sequenced OS Patching – Across different environments (across systems that form a service, e.g. email) •  Patch Rollout – Patch machines 1-10, then 11-50, then 51-1000 (patch Development, then patch Test, then patch Production Environment) Task sequencing Update 90,000 servers in days with 70% less infrastructure than currently using. Patch the OS of a client-server system in 1 hour or build a 2 tier application in hours. Take endpoint automation to the next level:
  • 76. BrightTALK Summit on Innovation & Evolution of ITSM Follow Us: #ITSMSummit! Reduce costs & improve operational efficiency •  Leverage “Out of the Box” IEM fixlets, Tasks and baselines in an Automation Plan across groups of related servers •  No programming skill required - Simple UI to build automation •  Higher levels of automation - All plans can be created, saved, and re-used •  Conditional logic for each step in a plan (initially success/failure) •  View execution of plans - Completed and running with drilldown Database   Server   Applica3on   Server   1.   2.   3.   Client  Worksta3ons   1.  Upgrade the DB server 2.  If successful, upgrade the App server 3.  If 1& 2 are successful upgrade the Client workstations 4.  If any Failures occur, stop further updates
