DR – Technical Recoverability Assessment • Objective: To evaluate Yale’s technical ability to recover in the event of a disaster • Utilized IBM’s Resiliency Services • Reviewed 47 key Infrastructure Services and Administrative/Academic Applications • In place of formal recovery time and recovery point objectives we drafted straw man RTOs and RPOs for responding to three types of disasters: • A disaster affects B25 West Campus requiring recovery in Central Campus DC’s. • A disaster affects all Central Campus DC’s requiring recovery in West Campus DC’s. • A “total event” affects both Central and West Campus areas requiring recovery at an external recovery site.

Conclusions – Yale Demonstrated Strengths • Positioned to leverage existing Central and West Campus data centers for Internal DR solutions. • In most cases there is an informal architectural placement consideration for servers, storage, network and application components in alternate data centers. • Yale has tested individual application restores. • Yale has rebuilt servers due to server failures. • Personnel interviewed showed high levels of experience, knowledge in their areas, and passion for achieving excellence. • Yale resources understand the need for DR and are moving in a positive direction. • Yale ITS has an extensive methodology for data protection on campus. • ITS understands the basic concepts and capabilities of business resilience and are generally agreed to by most interviewed. • Initial efforts are underway to integrate disaster recovery into the overall Yale ITS framework.
Conclusions – Yale Key Exposures • No documented recovery plan. • Yale has never tested or exercised a DR recovery. • Documented DR procedures are incomplete. • Subject matter experts, if available during an event, are expected to fill gaps for undocumented processes and procedures. • Single points of failure exist with no formal architectural process to avoid exposures. • In the disaster scenarios reviewed Yale would not recover all applications and infrastructure within required RTOs/RPOs. • No formal resiliency governance exists which results in numerous gaps affecting recovery. Conclusion: Yale is not recoverable within the target RTOs and RPO
Next Steps • Establish a DR Governance program to lead and coordinate Business Continuity and Resiliency Program • Consider consolidating related projects that are underway into a single well-defined disaster recovery program. Examples of such projects include • eGRC implementation • Data center controls audit • Network redesign (Part of response to Verizon security audit • Proceed with implementation of some of the high value but easily implemented improvements in parallel with the establishment of the DR governance and overall business resiliency planning
WISEContinuous Improvement Process (WCIP) Overview 07.12.2012
Continuous Improvement Process Questions to be addressed in this presentation… • What is Continuous Improvement Process (CIP)? • How does it align with ITS Strategy? • How will CIP affect me and my organization? • What is PDCA? • What is WISE Quality Assurance? • How long will it take to reach WCIP maturity? • How does WCIP integrate with PDCA • CIO communication and expectations • Q&A
Continuous Improvement Process… What is Continuous Improvement Process (CIP)? • CIP is a management process for targeting and improving quality • It is a disCIPlined, client-centric approach to process improvement • To improve quality and client satisfaction • The methodology is based on a 4 step process called PDCA Provides a Standard and Fundamental Approach to ITS Process Improvement
Strategy Alignment and Integration UniversityMission, Goals and Objectives What is the ITS Service Strategy? BaselineAssessment Where are we now? MeasurableTargets Where do we want to be? What needs to change and why? (CIP) Service & Process Improvement Measurement & Metrics Did we get there?
WCIP Requirements • Executive commitment & participation • Organizational alignment • Focus on the right problems • Engage the right people • Provide simple, easy to use tools • Motivate the organization • Establish rewards • Create a culture of Quality How will WCIP affect me ?
WISE CIP Objectives -3 SD +3 SD Unstable Stable Control Baseline Maturity Time • Objectives: Baseline – Stabilize - Improve • Baseline process variation • Stabilize processes • Stabilize measures • Stabilize reporting • Continuous Improvement Process
What is WISE Quality Assurance? • It begins with the organization’s adoption of a quality mindset, simple and easy to use tools and mentoring. All of these, over time can significantly improve organization quality, client satisfaction and operational efficiency. • Culture of Quality • Simple, easy to use tools • Mentoring • Process standardization
Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) Methodology • PLAN • Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results
PDCA • DO • Implement the plan, execute the process, collect data
PDCA • CHECK • Study the actual results (measured and collected in "DO" above) and compare against the expected results (targets or goals from the "PLAN") to ascertain any differences.
PDCA • ACT • Request corrective actions on significant differences between actual and planned results. Analyze the differences to determine their root causes.
PDCA – 7 Step Integration Wisdom Data 1. Identify the strategy for improvement 2. Define what you should and will measure 7. Implement improvement 3. Gather the data 6. Present and use the information 5. Analyze the information and data 4. Process the data Knowledge Information
