  •  Business process optimization, Part 1: Planning for sustained agility and business outcomes

    Organizations increasingly navigate a highly volatile, complex environment in which uncertainty, change, and the rise of technology, new business models and competitive threats are the only constants. Companies seeking to out-perform in this environment require operational dexterity, and business agility is critical to being responsive to increasingly changing market conditions. The pragmatic and operational definition of business performance and business agility, that is, how to achieve and to…

    Organizations increasingly navigate a highly volatile, complex environment in which uncertainty, change, and the rise of technology, new business models and competitive threats are the only constants. Companies seeking to out-perform in this environment require operational dexterity, and business agility is critical to being responsive to increasingly changing market conditions. The pragmatic and operational definition of business performance and business agility, that is, how to achieve and to sustain them within the context of a supporting IT environment, varies considerably. Although there is a growing congruence in the industry around the definition of business agility, often with an underlying agenda of selling software or services, an agreed upon or recognized definition of business agility remains evasive.

  • Actionable Business Architecture: IBM’s Approach

    IBM

    Actionable Business Architecture accelerates time-to-value
    through the confluence of three often disparate models in
    strategy, operations and IT. The first paper in this series
    presented why that is the case. This paper takes the next step
    and describes how IBM’s approach to realizing Actionable
    Business Architecture accelerates time-to-value by the holistic
    application of four keys: methods, metrics, models and tooling.

  • Actionable Business Architecture

    IBM

    This paper, as the first one in a series of whitepapers on
    Business Architecture, provides a new perspective on this
    important subject as a confluence of strategy, operating and
    IT models. It also poses and answers the question of what
    makes Business Architecture actionable, and discusses three
    specific perspectives: strategy and transformation (S&T),
    business process management (BPM) and service oriented
    architecture (SOA).

  •  Aligning Business Process Management, Service-Oriented Architecture, and Lean Six Sigma for Real Business Results

    IBM

    Lean Six Sigma unites tools and techniques from Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to produce real results. It uncovers process waste, reduces non-value adding activity, and increases organizational capability. The benefits might even be felt in IT where waste is being removed from application development processes, significantly reducing costs and freeing resources and budgets for needed investments and backlogged projects.

    Lean Six Sigma unites tools and techniques from Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to produce real results. It uncovers process waste, reduces non-value adding activity, and increases organizational capability. The benefits might even be felt in IT where waste is being removed from application development processes, significantly reducing costs and freeing resources and budgets for needed investments and backlogged projects.

    Business process management (BPM) technologies and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) combine with Lean Six Sigma to accelerate improvements and results. As the world moves faster, the ability to change becomes a key differentiator. Rapid, technology-driven process improvement and transformation become critical to success and to survival. The rewards can be great, especially for companies that take action now to bring these disciplines, techniques, and technologies together.
