Presentation: "Designing Your IT and Business"
Time:
Thursday 10:30 - 11:30
Location:
City
Abstract: An enterprise is a composition of elements (both human and automated)
and relationships (both static and dynamic). Putting together an
enterprise requires making decisions about what elements to include,
what those elements should look like, what relationships should be
established to optimize business processes, what relationships should be
established for communication and to provide overall structure.
Enterprise composition is an "act of design." But most companies make
design decisions in a purely ad hoc way, leading to inefficient and
sub-optimal enterprises. Rebecca will introduce some fundamental
principles of design and show how they can be applied to the successful
design of an entire enterprise, its components, and the processes upon
which it relies.
