Quote:
Dr. Brian Junling Li, Vice President in the CEO’s office at China-based online
marketplace Alibaba Group, puts it, “Innovation doesn’t come from organized plans.
It comes from our preparedness to deal with the uncertainty of the future.”
Sandwiched between Alfresco and Ephesoft presos today, they are growing and innovating and we are as well
Innovation is Passion
Growth takes diligence and process
Zia Methods – shoudn’t just work for us, but also for you. How do we help you get more from Zia on every single engagement.
Be innovative and take risks to achieve competitive advantage. Embed innovation in your culture
Once innovation is embedded in the culture, seven other factors need to be aligned to allow innovation to flourish:
People and skills • Technology • Infrastructure • Organization and governance • Risk management • Measurement and KPIs • Funding
Diverse expertise: diverse internal and external expertise throughout the process. stakeholders, customers, investors, suppliers, regulatory agencies, competitors.
Agility and embracing the best way to work: changed business models from a set focus on technology, infrastructure and products to a dynamic focus on: customer experiences, value generation, and problem-solving.
delivery process is a back-and-forth activity, looking at the problem and imagining how to solve it, then engineering our way toward it. The analysis and engineering meet with demonstratable product at each step. Not just rip and replace technology, but critically looking to change the business and bring in the technology that creates a competitive advantage
Have DEMONSTRATABLE product at every step.
Zia history: smart dudes – focused on the building of the technology – now, it is touching each of these areas with our customers
B&L GOAL: GROW THEIR BUSINSS - HOW? With Innovation
Working from paper has intrinsic issues
Oracle Imaging has been EOL’d –
Each LOB application has its own data from each acquisition
All existing integrations are both proprietary and tightly coupled –
Inefficiency means that it’s hard to acquire companies, create new lines of business, etc.
What are the key problems your company is trying to address? provides valuable information for your content migration. It leads to understanding business processes and the resulting system features and functionality.
Successful projects are all about planning, testing, and adapting the plan as you learn more. Once you have a plan, begin building a subset of functions, readjust your model, and continue working the connected minimum viable bits. This will help you build a solid strategy to reduce risk and unforeseen complications.
A framework based on proven best practices mitigates the risk of enterprise technology projects that can be large and costly. And even the best framework is empty without the players willing to participate. Enterprise projects are time and resource intensive; having a framework that stakeholders understand and participate in is the most powerful approach.
And it wasn’t an entirely linear process or project
And many projects just focus on delivery of the BLUE– the bits of code for the solution
Must wrap all that in the bigger picture, and ensure that the exec sponsors know of that picture and the value of al these milestones.
Know when you need engagement from those sponsors
- early to set expectations
- middle to make decisions, review, but not micromanage
- middle to late to drive acceptance and adoption
Goal: Zia growth without compromising quality ro what we deliver
Education and Empowerment of teams
Not one size fits all, but there is always something that can be leveraged from another project
Nothing gets missed or dropped
Every customer gets more of Zia than just their dedicated project team. The whole of the experience is behind our process and behind our solution.
And that, is our competitive advantage – for innovation and growth with you.
