1. Valuable investments Strategically innovative and effective application of IT Identify and justify investments that make a significant contribution to business strategy:
Research and development of products in terms of profitability Evaluate products and services in terms of profitability and continually re‐evaluate / identify better alternatives |
2. Fast development Realize new and improved digital products and services frequently, quickly and reliably The sooner products are delivered, the sooner value can be realized (fast ROI comes from fast time to market/customer) One way to deliver fast is to break product into small increments Delivery must be reliable, as well as fast, this can include able to recover fast, as well as more reliable Fast development has no intrinsic value (value comes from use of the product or service being developed) |
3. Resilient operations
Ensure that digital products are highly available for use
Potential value can only be realized when products are usable
Warranty reduces risk to utility, and so reduces value leakage
IT systems are complex; guarantees are an illusion. Emphasis is on restoring service quickly, rather than preventing failures
Can be measured in terms of availability, performance, and security:
4. Value co-creation Effective interaction between service provider and consumer Value is co‐created when people or things act on decisions that have been improved by information derived from information systems Users must understand digital products in terms of business process (understand the functionality, interpret the information, make decisions, act) Value co-creation includes value for ALL stakeholders |
5. Assured conformance
Service provision and service consumption comply with corporate and regulatory directives for governance, risk and compliance (digital orgs may use different ways to fulfil these requirements)
High velocity is often associated with taking risks:
Must understand governance constraints and how to act
Assured conformance helps peace of mind for people who own governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)
