Notes de l'éditeur
- This session is all about ambition and opportunity… Ambition and opportunity for you and your stakeholders Any body here that doesn’t want better business and job prospects? Well it looks like we’re all in the right meeting As Gordon Gecko might have said: Ambition is good But maybe we are going to have to do things differently. And, maybe we’re going to have to do different things. I’ll get the ball rolling by doing this presentation differently, This wont be a typical IT presentation. This is not Death by PowerPoint. There are no words for you to read slightly ahead of me and afterwards we will have plenty of time to talk about the issues raised. Because I will be using the Pecha-Kucha method for my presentation. That’s Twenty slides in 400 seconds, yes that’s right: twenty seconds per slide Six minutes and forty seconds of food for thought. So here we go, a quickfire trip to a future vision for IT – and what I think is our biggest opportunity yet Please hold on tight and try not to blink,
- For many people IT investment is all about unexpected Cost and Disappointment Because promises have not been kept. If our IT projects had delivered the promised Returns on Investment over the past couple of decades Our corporate Balance Sheets would be such an embarrassment of riches And if we had truly effective systems, the global economy wouldn’t be where it is today
- Nearly 50 years ago the white heat of technology was exciting the world But IT is a Commodity now and many find iT a big turn off. Somewhere along the way iT became boring And eyes glaze over, quickly In the boardroom, in the pub, in the club When somebody talks about iT
- But we are not entirely blameless We liked to make iT seem harder than it really is We have always liked to preserve some element of mystery about our jewels as we dug and delved in the steaming bowels of the enterprise Maybe that’s why we are seen as just a bunch of Geeks and Nerds
- And of course Once upon a time, in the days of smoke and mirrors computing, All our gee-wizardry took place behind closed doors But in these times of governance, regulation and compliance There is always somebody watching what we are doing No chance of us Hiding behind walls
- We help to plant the seeds and saplings of ambitious corporate and public ventures But they struggle for light and nurture in the silos of our organisations. Yet some do flourish - inside the silo wall, But many more wither and die Because we are just planting specimen trees, not forests or jungles
- With the World economy in turmoil Our Budgets are being nibbled away So it’s eat, or be eaten For even the biggest fish in the sea Can be eaten alive In the name of efficiency
- But IT’s strategic So they say But ‘fraid not A big disappointment for many: IT is not Strategic At best a contributor to an information System So aligning IT with business strategy is not a valid ambition Remember ambition?
- Some have ambitions to claim the Innovation space By translating the CIO to the Chief Innovation Officer A rather strange ambition because the Innovation space is so crowded Fiercely contested by all and sundry And not an easy ambition for IT
- So we have got STUCK in the 1990s Despite transforming ourselves Throughout our 50 years From Computing thru Data Processing and MIS, to IT What’s really bugging me Is what comes after IT? And where do we go from here? Perhaps, the answer is under our noses Not IT 2.0, or even 3.1
- But Systems with a capital S The World is a system of systems At work or play Each of us plays our various parts of so many different systems: Family, job, clubs, regions, nations, markets, sectors But these are rarely connected to each other Except in our minds
- A joined-up-world is promised With Technology and complexity everywhere we look Modern consumer technology makes IT all seem so easy that even a child can do IT especially a child can do it But the joined-up-management that will make the joined-up-world sustainable is absent Nobody does it. Nobody
- We don’t have a joining-up departments responsible for making sense of everything All the time, Day in, day out We don’t have a body that ensures joined-up-management happens Even in our own organisations So I think that the future of IT should be all about making sense
- This is a MASSIVE opportunity To move forward from where we are today To making sense of the world It will mean a lot of new things for us to embrace Like complexity, variety and ambiguity Keep it simple, stupid is not an option
- All this can’t be done by Something called an IT department We have too much ‘baggage’ in the name So we need to call ourselves something new And it’s got to be credible For our colleagues – and our partners And it’s got to pass the ‘pub test’ When someone in the pub asks: and what do you do?
- The answer is: Business Integration MUCH better than ‘IT’ and far more accurate for the URGENT need We already have many of the skills We can put the puzzles together to make coherent pictures Sometimes out of pieces never designed to fit together And, unlike the already redundant IT-centric paradigm Business Integration will never go out of fashion
- The Business Integration function sees the big picture Reflects And makes sense of it all Internally and externally For a coherent and congruent System of Systems That disregards blinkered boundaries that stop properly joined-up-management And works effectively with - and within - other systems
- And the CIO as Chief Integration Officer Makes far more sense than battling with everyone else for the Chief of Innovation role Fact is, nobody needs a Chief Information Officer But the opportunity for filling the boots of Chief Integration Officer Is a truly valuable ambition A worthwhile role that will never go away
- IF Joined-up-management within the organisation is hard enough THEN Joined-up-management for a joined-up-world Is a BIG ambition that won’t be easy, there will be problems. There are always problems. Mostly about relationships and trust. SO We must build TRUST as our basis of integration, internally and externally
- And who exactly is going to do all this? Who will be the standard bearers and the champions? The next generation – or the one after that? The guys down the corridor, or the Still green, whizz-kids from the Big Four or Five? No, Not somebody else – We are the people: US. Nobody else is playing for this space and nobody else is better positioned for the task Nobody
- This is not a theoretical, airy-fairy vision of utopia But a practical and pragmatic Move forward from iT to Business Integration But it will not happen accidentally So let’s grasp the opportunity and start doing something about IT Start building the joined-up-management for a joined-up-world A BIG ambition and the BIGGEST opportunity yet for IT
