The document discusses how organizations can maximize business value from existing IT investments over time. It argues that businesses are slow to assimilate new technologies and do not fully exploit existing IT assets. The document recommends that executives prioritize extracting value from current IT systems through an ongoing process of learning and innovation, rather than taking a project-based approach to new technologies. This approach requires new organizational capabilities focused on knowledge management, social learning networks, and directed incrementalism.

need to maximize the value of

The document discusses how organizations can maximize the value of existing IT investments over long periods of time. It argues that businesses do not fully exploit existing technology and jump from project to project without maximizing the value of each implementation. The document presents a model called "The Long Conversation" which views IT implementation as a long-term learning process rather than individual projects. This requires new organizational capabilities to support social learning over IT journeys that last far beyond initial deployment.

Outsourcing from a strategic management perspective by friedrich blase and da...David Cunningham

1) IT outsourcing from a strategic perspective requires assessing opportunities, designing solutions, selecting vendors, and managing the transition to allow lawyers to work more effectively and efficiently. 2) Historically, law firms outsourced some IT functions like data processing to service bureaus before insourcing most IT. Rising costs are now causing firms to reconsider outsourcing some services again to improve performance over just reducing costs. 3) Common IT functions considered for outsourcing include help desk, network and data center management, email hosting, and disaster recovery. Outsourcing is a strategic issue that can impact overall firm performance, not just costs.

This document discusses how integrating design thinking with IT project development can lead to more successful outcomes. It proposes a 3-D model consisting of three phases: Discovery, Development, and Deployment. In the Discovery phase, both design thinking methods like ethnography and traditional strategic analysis are used to understand user needs. For a project with the Virginia Employment Commission, user archetypes were identified which enriched the request for proposal. The Development phase involves creating prototypes and visual representations of concepts to get user feedback. Iterative testing and refining occurs. Technical requirements are defined later based on the user vision. Once a strong prototype and business case are established, the potential service moves into the Deployment phase where a final
