  1. Strategic Direction Block 09

  2. Overview • Intent Show the use of a tool that helps you take a strategic approach when building an EA • Content • Introduction to Analysis of networked Links (AnnL) • Using AnnL to list pressures, stakeholders, concerns, and values • Using AnnL to determine strategic risks of existing system

  3. What is a “Strategic Approach”? Our definition of ‘strategy’ is Selection of objectives for the whole enterpriseand the initiatives that can contribute to achieving these objectivesover the time span for that organization

  4. Why take a strategic approach when building an EA? • Why do you think EA should consider ICT strategy? • Do EA set the ICT strategy?

  5. Welcome to AnnL • Analysis of networked Links (AnnL) is a series of Excel functions that produces reports that you can use when preparing: • Strategic plans • Business cases • Policy statements • Functional and performance specifications • Procedural manuals • We will use it as the basis for managing the strategic risks for the use of ICT in support of Defence operations

  6. Prepare to use AnnL • Find the AnnL In sheet on your CD, under Day 3 Resources • Also, find the manual, in the same place • Remember: Read The Bloody Manual is important here too

  7. List Pressures • We usually start with a list of pressures acting upon the organization (“Enterprise”) • Pressures are external circumstances or internal conditions • Based upon the W6 Checklist: • Way: Legislative or procedural factors • Who: Social or behavioural factors • With: Scientific or technological factors • Worth: Economic or commercial factors • Where: Environmental or locality factors • When: Rate or date factors

  8. Listing Pressures in AnnL

  9. Determine plausibility of pressures

  10. Report Pressures

  11. Other reports

  12. As a team For 5 minutes Make some changes to the list of pressures See what happens in the reports Activity: List pressures

  13. List Stakeholders

  14. Determine clout of stakeholders

  15. Report clout

  16. Other reports

  17. Activity: Link points-of-view As a team For five minutes Make changes to influences between points of view See effects in reports

  18. Show concerns from links of POVs to Pressures

  19. Report concerns

  20. Show values

  21. Weight values

  22. Key Point • At this stage, we are interested in those values that: • Refer to capability and to capacity • Have a high impact estimate • These values become the objectives = the strategy • Based upon what key pressures are of concern to which key points-of-view, and how much they are willing to pay to reduce these concerns

  23. Report desires

  24. Build values tree

  25. Report values

  26. Other reports for values

  27. Activity: Form values As a team For 10 minutes Look at desires List values Change willingness to pay or power See effects upon reports

  28. Assess risk

  29. Report risks of As-Is system

  30. Summary Strategy is setting objectives for the enterprise as a whole We use AnnL to determine ‘who wants what’ because of their concerns about pressures Next Block • consider emerging technologies as alternatives in the design of an EA that overcomes these strategic risks
