    The Fish Model and Digital Transformation

    Breaking the code of Digital Transformation when developing a cross-organizational digital strategy, and what most organizations miss when creating digital strategies.
     
    Digital Transformation is the top priority for organizations, managed service providers (MSPs), and anyone who has an online presence. But many organizations find their digital transformation efforts stalled, ineffective, or failing to meet expectations.

    The Fish Model and Digital Transformation

    Breaking the code of Digital Transformation when developing a cross-organizational digital strategy, and what most organizations miss when creating digital strategies.
     
    Digital Transformation is the top priority for organizations, managed service providers (MSPs), and anyone who has an online presence. But many organizations find their digital transformation efforts stalled, ineffective, or failing to meet expectations.
     
    Ready to enable and provide examples, Mark Bradley is the contributing author of ITILs Digital and IT Strategy book and Senior Product Manager at Flexera Software.
     
    In this session, you'll learn:
    - How organizations can become more proactive about defining and making timely, significant changes to compete in a digital world.
    - Why Digital Transformation is necessary and is more than just a buzzword.
    - Leverage the 'Fish Model' as a blueprint for successful companies to navigate difficult transformations.
    - How to prepare your organization for creating digital strategies.
    - How does a company embed a holistic and strategic digital approach that becomes consistent and repeatable across the organization?
     
    When establishing a genuine cross-organizational digital strategy, 'innovate to thrive' should be a cultural mindset in which companies recognize the need to change. Events such as the global pandemic have only accelerated and should encourage the right mindset for a digital strategy that works across the organization.

  • Aligning IT With the Business Starts & Ends with a Financial View of IT

    BrightTalk

    Disruptive new technologies such as mobility and the cloud fundamentally change how IT is measured and managed.

    In this session, we will discuss how IT can fully determine the cost of services for use as a comparison or for chargeback or show back and how IT can be more transparent with the business value being provided by their services.

    In the past, IT organizations could simply cross-charge their costs and report on service-level agreements (SLAs). Today, business customers can…

    Disruptive new technologies such as mobility and the cloud fundamentally change how IT is measured and managed.

    In this session, we will discuss how IT can fully determine the cost of services for use as a comparison or for chargeback or show back and how IT can be more transparent with the business value being provided by their services.

    In the past, IT organizations could simply cross-charge their costs and report on service-level agreements (SLAs). Today, business customers can go to Amazon, Azure or other providers’ web pages and see prices for servers, storage, databases, and more as well as seeing performance metrics for those services.

    This means that, for the first time, IT needs to have public cloud-comparable costs for service options and transparent performance information. By doing this, IT can generate a cost-effective strategy that improves operating efficiency while embracing the cloud, whether public or private or a hybrid.

    The Service Catalog will play a crucial role in CMOs service delivery as it serves as the access point to all products and service solutions offered by Motorola Solutions. An active service catalog is a must-have business tool that can help build and nurture a positive relationship between the business units and CMSO. Another significant benefit of creating a comprehensive service catalog is a reduction in costs. As products and services are examined and clearly defined to meet the business’ needs, this often leads to redesigning processes and restructuring resources that result in the standardization of supply and better operational control.
