The need for Business design to underpin strategic and operational agility
Agility is here to stay. But dig a little deeper and you will see that fundamental strategic, structural and cultural issues exist that often prevent success within large organizations. Some organizations have learnt the hard way when it comes to the missing pieces of the puzzle around organizational agility. I was recently asked by a new-ways-of-working team to help them apply business design to create the target operating model needed to enable structural, operational and strategic agility. Is this the secret sauce that’s been missing in the agility conversations? In this talk I’ll discuss the broader issues around agility when creating the adaptive and fast learning organization. And discuss the "secret sauce" that is missing when it comes to business heuristics and patterns. I will also look at the areas where agility is succeeding and failing and discuss the need for multi-disciplinary architects that can help with the transition across strategic, business and delivery lenses.
Using Business Architecture to enable customer experience and digital strategy
Digital disruption is shifting business model design from a focus on product profitability to a stronger focus on customer experience and lifetime value. The presentation looks at environmental pressures caused by digital disruption and identifies how to use business architecture and business design to address these changes. It covers business architecture for digital strategy, customer-driven value chains, re-writing of the 4Ps of the marketing mix, and the nine laws of disruption and how they affect business model design. Craig also investigates the changes afoot with strategic business planning and Enterprise Architecture, which are experiencing their own form of disruption. Will Enterprise Architecture as we know it become a commodity too?

This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.
