Hanno Jarvet from Jarvet Consulting will give a talk “Introduction to: How to predict and manage towards multiple futures.”
The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed. (William Gibson) Technology is now an integral part of any organisation’s future. This places new demands on CIOs and CTOs to:
– constantly increase productivity while reducing costs
– align the IT organisation and the technology behind the business vision
– support different stakeholders with their ever increasing needs in different contexts.
Historically strategies, roadmaps and business plans were used to communicate intent. Now there is a better way to bridge the gap between business and IT, predict the future and to help get everyone on the same page.
If you understand your value chain and the evolution of technology, a multitude of events can even be predicted and prepared for. I will share practical examples, tools and models that I have used to help organisations make progress in predicting and adapting for the future.
– Common economic patterns: e.g. why DevOps is the new legacy.
– Strategic situational awareness: How to predict the actions of your global competition.
– Applying doctrine.
– Achieving consensus on technology selection.
– Choosing contextually appropriate methods (Agile, Waterfall, Lean etc.).
– Achieving a common vocabulary with all stakeholders. – Managing the current situation towards multiple futures.
