Jeff Brightlight (37) is a Divisional CIO at $15B Fictious Ltd. As requested by the Board Jeff and his team embark on a journey towards a Digital Business. They discover the importance of adjusted governance and delivery models, a cross-domain leadership platform, progressed talent development, and a fit-for-purpose IT landscape. For the latter part Jeff has himself updated by his Enterprise Architect Anton d’Entamico on AWS, SAP HEC, SAP S/4HANA 1511, Central Finance (cFin), SAP MDG, and SAP HCP. What's the role of sexy Cindy, assistant to the Board? Will Fictious survive as a business in the Digital arena and, will Jeff win his much-desired CIO of the Year award...?

42. With Bill’s question in mind, the first focus is
on the Business and Leadership Platform
Source: Gartner
Leadership Platform:
• Leadership as a team sport
• Influence over control
• A culture of leadership
• Ecosystem leadership
Business/value platform:
• Platform business models
• Two-sided business models
• Open business models
49. Jeff realized that in order to act swiftly, a
series of delivery issues need to be tackled
Source: Gartner
Current delivery issues:
• Time to market too long
• No means to experiment
• Releases resulted in down-time
• Business priority changes are noted too
late, requirements misunderstood
• Strategic planning and budgeting cycles
address yesterday’s world
• Innovative technologies are not reviewed
for business potential
Xavier suggests these measures:
• Two-speed capability to explore and
exploit
• Fast-track to allow dynamic refactoring
that hardens and scales
• Fast-track experiments with smaller
vendors
50. ‘Two-speed IT’, Xavier says, ‘is one
crucial delivery concept to avoid chaos.’

Enterprise Architecture has to ensure consistency of two speeds
53. ‘And all this has consequences for your
people’, Xavier continues his story

Xavier elaborates on the HR
impact:
• Continual talent innovation
• Drawing digital talent from beyond IT
and even enterprise borders
• Experimenting with more dynamic, opt-
in structures and cultures
• Viewing vendors as digital inhibitors /
accelerators
56. ‘Gladly, we’re already looking into technology
issues’, Jeff informs Xavier.

Jeff’s already exploring:
• Highly modular, open information and
technology architectures
• Postmodern ERP / Digital Core
• Cloud / XaaS
Current technology issues:
• On-premise Enterprise Applications
running out of maintenance
• Most are tightly integrated
• Data is duplicated across applications
• Security breaches were reported lately
• Connectivity and bandwidth issues
• Mobile devices not managed properly
• BI is synonym to reporting
• Outdated storage technology
• Many complaints about user experience
