• Change process – What type of change process will be utilized and who will administer and monitor it and how?
• Has the change process been communicated & embraced across the organization?
• Organizations and people say that they want and embrace change. But often these responses are only the “polite” answer to an unavoidable question.
• What risk mitigation strategies do you have in place to address TVC (thinly veiled contempt), dead wood, old school mentality, power struggles etc.
Tip 2. Change
![Page 21: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Executives & Managers of Functions & Departments

• Be sure to take all necessary steps to secure the support of stakeholders, executives, managers, and users before proceeding with an investment decision.
• Involve users early in the process to ensure that their input, feedback, requirements and support are secured.
Tip 3. Executive, Stakeholder and User Support
![Page 24: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

• To ensure user adoption of the final system, users need to be included at the outset of the IT project planning phase.
• This will ensure all their requirements have been appropriately sourced, including all aspects of scoping (such as the user interface design).
• By involving users at the outset, they will also feel included and be more inclined to take ownership of the new system when it goes into production.
Tip 4. User Adoption
![Page 27: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

• Base the solution decision on the requirements of the company, users, and business issues the solution needs to solve rather than attractive but unnecessary features and functionality.
• Make sure your requirements come from the sources accurately identified earlier in this profile rather than people who think that they know your business, self appointed experts or wannabe’s.
• REMEMBER to always include External Value Chain Customers & Suppliers
• Include internal and external users at the outset for input, collaboration and to identify requirements. They are the most valuable people if you want to achieve success!
Tip 5. User input and requirements gathering
![Page 33: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We now have Visibility across the Organization & have accurately identified People who need to be involved.
This next section makes sure that there is rigor, accountability,
collaboration, accuracy and validity underpinning the key strategic investment decision making and pre-implementation
planning processes.
Lets carry on and I will give you another peak shortly…………………
![Page 34: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Investment Decision
![Page 35: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Design a roadmap with clearly defined outcome success metrics. Weight each criterion.
• Are success metrics aligned with strategy?
Tip 6. Success metrics and strategy
![Page 36: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Next we need
to identify
the
following………………..
![Page 37: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Organizations need to carefully select who, how, what, and why parties will be involved in the investment decision and implementation.
• Always promote information transparency so the right information is available when needed to support optimal decision making.
• Also, be aware that various members of the organization have very different agendas that will influence the selection processes.
Tip 7.Pre-Investment Decision Making
![Page 38: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

• Undertake a Customer Site visit or a Reference check to ensure that they have done or actually provide what you are asking for.
• Make sure that the vendors selected are the right fit because they will be with the organization for a very long time.
• Make sure that their solution meets business requirements rather than fitting the organization around their solution.
• Their solution or service offering must be their core business, with a proven track record and not a secondary business offering or service.
• Their solution must be inclusive of training, maintenance and support, licensing,
documentation, testing and account management, with no extra hidden costs.
• Also be aware that if vendors have a hidden agenda to increase their revenue from the project by introducing ancillary add-ons or services, organizations can be certain the core project will not receive their full attention.
Tip 8. Vendor and Solution Selection
![Page 40: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

By identifying all of the new processes,
systems & API’s we now have identified
new training requirements in terms of:
• Administering & using new processes• System use, proficiency, speed & adoption• Vendor training• Additional skills gap training
![Page 45: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• What training is required for system administrators and users to ensure that they are proficient in using and administering the system?
• Do they require any additional training to address identified skill gaps or new processes?
• Has the cost of training been fully factored into the project’s budget?
• Do not even contemplate skimping on training – that is a sure fire way to have incompetent users & a poorly adopted system.
Tip 9. Training and development
![Page 46: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
And lastly………
![Page 47: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
By identifying all of the obsolete processes, systems & API’s we are able to clearly identify where we could encounter elements of risk in terms of :
• Non-obliging out going Vendors• Power struggles • Poor communications & withholding information• Lack of support from experts, managers & users
of obsolete entities• Homeless & ownerless API’s • Dead wood mentality • Stuck in the past -That’s the way we have
always done it around here!
![Page 48: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Is the right IT infrastructure in place to support the solution being considered?
• Has everything possible been done to minimize IT risks, such as application integration, service levels, strategies evaluated and aligned, disaster recovery and roll-back strategies, and the like.
• IT governance has more success when it is an independent process rather than being encumbered under an IT or PMO umbrella, because at that point everyone is responsible but no-one is accountable.
Tip 10. IT governance and risk
![Page 49: Business architecture for business specialists and IT professionals wanting IT project success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cf4c2d8b42a08668b4df9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
