artITians Slide 3 better business by design Drivers of Change • Just what is the driver for change within a business? • So often we see change for change’s sake. Perhaps a business decision maker says “ We must have one of those because our competitor has one”. Whether it is a good idea or not is not necessarily considered. The perception that it is a good idea holds sway. • Similarly change is often driven by an unreasoned need that the business should have the biggest and the best and of course with all bells and whistles. The perception here is the users of the new system will appreciate what is provided. This perception needs to be tested. • Whilst the desire to change, driven by the perception of need, may be valid the actual decision to invoke change should be qualified by the identification and quantification of business benefit. • The old adage ‘ If it’s not broken don’t fix it’ should be at least considered when exploring change options. • Is change always the best remedy?
4.

artITians Slide 4 better business by design Change Triggers • All businesses are continually subject to change. With the recognition that change is inevitable having processes in place to deal with them ensures that a considered and informed response can be made. • The drivers of change can originate from multiple sources, few of which are under direct business control. Some of these are: – Introduction or changes of Legislation; – Introduction or changes in industry codes of conduct; – Competitive pressures; – Financial Pressures; – Customer needs and – Technology changes
5.

artITians Slide 5 better business by design Change Triggers • Changed or new business driver will trigger a series of cascading events that need to be efficiently and effectively managed. • In response to a change in business driver there will need to be a corresponding change in business strategy. Depending on the change this can then trigger either changes in existing business capability or potentially require the development of new ones. • In realising a capability change there will consequential changes to business process, with a ripple effect on all parts of the business (people and technical) that the changed processes have contact. • With the application of change within a business an assessment of its efficacy should be fed back into the strategy change process. • This assessment can only be reliably made if in executing change key performance measures are set early in the change process and monitored as the change progresses through to completion. By assessing the impact of change and matching it to a known baseline taken prior to the change taking effect, the efficiency of the change process can be measured as well as the effectiveness of the decision making process. • How a business responds to change drivers and the lessons learned through implementation of change can define how well a business operates.
6.

artITians Slide 6 better business by design Resistance to Change • Resistance or opposition to change can be as much a barrier to sustainable business growth as is the implementing change for change’s sake. • There are far too many decision makers that lack sufficient insight on what is possible through an unreasoned desire to hold onto the past. How many times have you heard someone say ‘But that is the way we have always done it’ or ‘It has always worked in the past’? • Whether it is the reluctance to take a risk that is the cause of not being prepared to move out of their comfort zone or just a predisposition to not acknowledge that there is any other way the consequence can be a stagnant or decaying business that allows both opportunities to be missed and their more flexible competitors to perhaps take their market.
7.
© 2015 -
artITians Slide 7 better business by design The Execution of Change • The execution of change, whether in business or in everyday life, once accepted as inevitable, should be managed properly. • Frequently, activities required to implement a change are delayed or postponed whilst other perhaps less arduous or simpler activities are undertaken. “Why do today when you can do it tomorrow?” is a question not so much asked but implied by action. Procrastination of the harder work in favour of the simpler does not really help in the long run. • Twisting an oft use phrase to now say ‘there is madness in the method” seems to reflect the apparent randomness and inefficiencies that often accompanies the deferral of the necessary to accomplish the unnecessary or less urgent. • When the need for change has been accepted it should be embraced with all activities undertaken when required.
8.
© 2015 -
artITians Slide 8 better business by design Dichotomy of Change • The decision to develop and implement an Enterprise Architecture within a business is often the harbinger of change. Driven perhaps by external competitive forces or by significant change in corporate strategy the Enterprise Architecture becomes a tool that supports business transformation. Taking inputs from People, both organisational and cultural, Business Process and Technology the baseline from which transformation will be applied can be established. • Business Transformation will only occur where the Motivation to do so is able to overcome the inertia in an already established business. Without appropriate motivation, Change will not be well directed, Risks will not be well understood and the business may become stagnant or collapse. • Motivation becomes the key factor in achieving a successful Business Transformation. With positive motivation and the execution of well thought out supporting activities, the opportunity to reap significant business benefit is heightened. With poor motivation, the likelihood of Business Transformation failing is increased significantly.
9.
© 2015 -
artITians Slide 9 better business by design Asking “What if?” • It is not reasonable to expect that we can absolutely know everything about those things that can affect anything we undertake to do, there are always elements of risk that we need to consider. • A farmer plants a crop at a particular time of year in anticipation that the weather conditions will be conducive to a successful harvest. A miner will dig a mine expecting it to yield a quantity of ore and sell it at a certain price. A traveller plans an itinerary that supports the trip they wish to make. In each case the expected outcome can be significantly affected through unexpected events. There may be an extreme weather event affecting crop growth, demand for the mined ore may collapse along with its price or a volcano may erupt affecting flight schedules. • When planning to undertake any endeavour and with the realisation that there must be inherent risks we should always be prepared to ask ‘What if …?’ • Only when we ask this question can we explore the ramifications of what we plan on doing. It is only then that we can explore options that may mitigate the risks and to decide if the benefits are worth the possibility of failure. • With an understanding of the risks, a level of confidence in how likely they are to be realised and plans on how to mitigate or avoid the risk we can then make a reasoned decision on how to progress. When undertaking any activity it is always worthwhile to have a Plan B.
10.
© 2015 -
artITians Slide 10 better business by design A Simple Change Cycle • Change, within a business context, is inherently cyclic in nature. Undertaking change for change’s sake is not something that would normally be expected to occur. • The trigger for a change event is the identification within the business that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. The size of the problem need not be large but does need to invoke the desire for change to occur. Appropriate analysis of the problem should eventually lead to its full definition and an understanding of its root cause. • With understanding and, assuming there is the motivation within • the business to continue to address the problem, a solution can be defined and ultimately executed. This will result in changes to the business itself. • The change cycle concludes with an assessment of the outcome of the change. Depending how the original problem has been impacted by the change may itself invoke a further change cycle to be implemented.
11.

artITians Slide 11 better business by design Managing Impact of Change • All businesses, in responding to change drivers will require some modification to the business and technology landscape in which they operate. Whether change occurs through the introduction of some initiative intended to develop new or improve existing services or because some external influence mandates that change occurs, there will be some impact experienced. • The ability to manage change effectively is crucial for business success. Understanding the cost of implementing change and its effect on the viability of the business is essential.

artITians Slide 12 better business by design Impact of Change Business vision and strategy: – Is there any conflict? – Are modifications required? – Is consistency maintained? Business Capabilities. – Are capabilities being improved? – Are new capabilities required? Business Processes – Are existing processes sufficient? – Do new processes need to be developed? – What roles (internal and external) are affected? – Is training or re-training required? Business and Technical Function – Which functions are affected? – What business information is used? – Do new functions need to be developed? – What applications and interfaces will require modification? Services delivery – What support services are affected? – Are existing skills sufficient to accommodate the change? – What are the viable delivery options? – What will be the cost ramifications? Infrastructure – Can the existing infrastructure support the change? – Can demand be satisfied? – Do new technology sets need to be acquired? – Does there need to be an extension or modification to the current architecture? • All change will have an impact. All impact will have an associated cost. Cost can have a various dimensions the relative import of each having some bearing on the decision making process. • Financial • Resource (Human and Asset) • Customer • Operational The impact of change can be traced through a business by exploring for example: An established Enterprise Architecture assists a business in determining the impact of change. Through the identification of possible options on how the change may be realised it is able to manage the impact so that optimal benefit is achieved across each of the cost dimensions are regarded as important.
