DevOps presents a solution to the challenge that organizations face in releasing product updates into complex operating environments without causing service loss or disruption.
This is not a new challenge. However, the need to find solutions to the challenge has intensified as agile development practices and complex scalable infrastructure configurations have come to the fore over the last decade.
Business Case Development
Step 1: Discovery for Innovation workshop: Using IVI’s Discovery facilitated workshop, identify priority topics of interest for the company, for example with a view to improving a process, designing a new service etc and realising value from it within a 5-year time frame.
Step 2: Analysing and Mapping: IVI Post-doc researchers take the data gathered in the Discovery for Innovation workshop and analyses it. The business case will be defined using the business model canvas and the concept of value dials. The researcher prepares a brief for Step 3
Step 3: Business Case / Research Agenda development facilitated workshop, with IVI post-doc researchers and participants from the company, use the research brief developed in Step 2 to develop a prospective research and business development model
Step 4: Documentation and Presentation: The post-doc researcher and representatives from the company create a business case for the company and prepare documentation and presentation to the company
Diagnostic Assessment tools
The goal is to help organizations understand where their strengths are, and where their capability gaps are. Using this information our partners can quickly help their clients build remedial plans to uplift capability in the IT organisation, looking for capability trends that tie into the business objectives.
Blurred Lines
The lines between what is business and what is IT have blurred, new methods of procurement have arisen, and it is entirely possible for parts of the business to bypass IT all together.
CIO Leadership
In the midst of this, the CIO must be a people leader, a technology leader, a business strategist, and handle all the complexities of shifting and evolving skill sets.
Strengths vs Gaps
It is little wonder then that our partner’s clients are coming to them asking for help, asking for partners to help them understand their own landscape, where their strengths are, and where their gaps are.
Thorough Sampling
The IT Effectiveness Assessment is designed for just that reason. Unlike our other diagnostic tools, the IT Effectiveness assessment does not limit itself to just one aspect of the IT Department. Instead, it samples every aspect of the IT organisation.
Client Diagnostic Process
Step 1: Online Diagnostic Tool
Upon selecting which diagnostic assessment you wish to use, you can provision your customer with a personalised link to carry out an online assessment.
All our Assessments are hosted on Qualtrics, giving you peace of mind knowing we can scale to large numbers and are hosted on a global secure and whitelisted environment.
Participants will receive a customised and individual link, where they will carry out the assessment.
Each question has been carefully crafted by the research team, and fits into the preceding and following question.
By having their clients complete this assessment, our consulting partners will quickly gain insight into the Capability level.
2. Data Harvesting.
With the assessments complete, you will harvest the data from Qualtrics, which will be automatically populated by our systems into a workbook for you.
This workbook will be a comprehensive mapping of the client’s capability landscape, with detailed analysis, prepopulated graphical resources, the ability to select between IT and Business responses, as well as general comments captured.
3. Interviews.
With the data from our workbooks, consultants can now engage directly with selected response candidates, to uncover additional information, to add context to answers, and to further understand the clients needs.
4. Workshop (optional).
With the interviews and assessment complete, consultants can now bring the key client stakeholders together to discuss the findings in the assessment.
It is important in this stage to identify the key themes within the client that need to be addressed.
It will often be the case that there are multiple capability themes that need to be addressed and it will not be possible to answer them all simultaneously.
The workgroup must decide what are the key themes, how they match up with the business priorities, and where to invest time and effort.
5. Capability Improvement Planning.
With the workshop complete, goals agreed, and buy in from all stakeholders, our consulting partners are now free to build the Capability Improvement plan.
IT-CMF contains within it a series of building blocks that partners can use to quickly build capability improvement plans for their clients, and deliver lasting engagement with the customers that deliver value.
