What is Bimodal IT?
• Traditional IT (Mode 1) is slow, focused on reliability over agility, removed from customer
• Fast IT (Mode 2) focuses on agility, takes Agile/Kanban approach, business-centric
• Digital Transformation efforts are driving this splitEveryone agrees this situation is common – the disagreement is
what to do about it

Gartner’s Advice
• Both modes are essential
• Slow, Mode 1 IT should co-exist with fast Mode 2
• If your IT organization isn’t bimodal, it should become bimodal
Vendors of Mode 1 gear pay most of Gartner’s bills

Let’s Poke Some Holes…
• Gartner says: Mode 1 IT shouldn’t focus on agility– But: IT must be agile to
support changing end-to-end digital needs of enterprise
• Gartner says: It’s fine for Mode 1 to take waterfall approach– But: waterfall fails over 85%
of the time! The definition of insanity… Ph

• Front to back– End-to-end from the
customer to the systems of record
• Breadth of interaction– Diversity of customer
touchpoints an form factors
• Depth of community– Broad ecosystems of
vendors and services

Let’s Poke Some More Holes…
• Gartner says: Mode 1 should be IT-centric, removed from customer– But: in the digital world, everyone
must focus on the customer• Gartner says: Mode 1 governance
should be plan-driven, approval based, while Mode 2 governance is empirical, continuous, & process-based– But: traditional approaches to
governance will either slow everyone down or lead to Shadow IT issues

What About Governance?
• IT governance should focus on security, compliance, and alignment with business goals generally– Slow processes for enforcing
slow policies the “scar tissue” holding back agility & innovation
• Dividing security & compliance into “slow” & “fast” a recipe for vulnerabilities & breaches
Security & compliance must be comprehensive to be effective

But Wait, There’s More…
• Separating slow, “dull” IT from fast, “interesting” IT– Everyone wants to be on
the interesting side!– Leads to morale issues– Very difficult to recruit
new people for “dull” IT

Big Mistake: Shifting Digital Away from IT
• Leads to digital efforts disconnected from IT
• ‘Legacy’ systems of record act as limitations
• No effective cooperation between Digital & IT (CDO & CIO for example) Ph

Don’t fall for bad bimodal advice!

Follow the Money
• Budgets for separate Mode 1 & Mode 2 efforts can squeeze Mode 1 budgets– Carving off part of IT as the
“business-focused” part leads to poor allocation of funds
– The digital mandate requires customer-driven, end-to-end budgeting

Essential Tool: Self-Organization
• Traditional hierarchical organizational models limit or eliminate self-organization
• “Skunkworks,” startups, and DevOps organizations work best when self-organized
• Should digital efforts be self-organized?

The DevOps Virus
• DevOps proves self-organization can scale across organizational silos
• Digital transformation requires end-to-end reorganization
Let DevOps infect your organization

• The more planned a city is, the less agile it becomes
• How do we get the results we want from an unplanned city?

• Team responsible for end-to-end best practice across digital effort
• Where the enterprise architects fit in

Getting to ‘Square Zero’
• Digital transformation can’t start in earnest until you clean up the worst messes– Does IT know what apps it’s
responsible for?– Does IT know which systems
talk to which?• Fix what’s broken
– Iteratively– With constant focus on
customer priorities– Avoid being dogmatic

“Demise” of Enterprise IT Department
• Out:– IT as cost center– IT as gatekeeper, slowing
things down– IT as owner of all technology
• In:– IT as service
provider– IT as
marketplace– IT as facilitator
of security, governance, and access to systems of record
