Optimizing and Streamlining IT for Enterprise Agility

With the increased emphasis on “artificial intelligence,” "digital transformation," and "agility" in Enterprises worldwide, it has become more difficult to separate facts from beliefs, experiences from opinions, and sound practices from declarations.

The field appears so irregular because academia, publications, consultants, and practitioners present practices with disparate voices advancing a multitude of approaches, meanings, and sets of expectations—some based on internet writings, some based on conjecture, some based on opinion, and yes, some based on sound practices.

This presentation includes fact-based descriptions and approaches for “artificial intelligence”, "digital transformation" and "agility" which are grounded in sound practices, and principles based on decades of field engagements and experience.

“Artificial intelligence’, and "digital Transformation" are the investment and alignment of optimized or new business models with technologies that best engage customers. This places additional demands on the business technology organization.

Couple this with the recognition that these transformations may involve process (both business and technology) transformations, changes in the business model itself, "cultural"/value realignments, new application development approaches, and organization transformations, and the "IT enterprise model" will at least need a review!
