Backup slides for NEA Öresund discussion on usage of frameworks at Foo Cafee 17/10 2016

1. Frameworks, supporting
development of supply chain
information architecture
Framework or Painwork?

2. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

Process frameworks
From art & science to engineeringto

3. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Using open frameworks is more efficient than defining proprietary ones
Open frameworks allows actors and stakeholders in the whole extended
ecosystem refer to the same definitions without the overhead of internal
training & communication that proprietary frameworks require

4. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Represent Evaluate Optimize
Process frameworks are to organizational learning what algorithms are to machine
learning.
The framework lets us represent a solution, it lets us evaluate that solution and lets us
optimize.
And , it requires training….

Hierarchies are
fading away
Organizations
transform to
spherical
Congratulations shareholders, tough luck old school management…

6. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Transitioning to “Digital” means goodbye to hierarchic organizations.
Processes and automation fuels the spherical organization.
Driven by
command
Driven by process
and automation

7. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Spherical beats hierarchical when cashing in on Big Data, IOT, machine
learning and automation.
Spherical requires structured business processes

8. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Spherical organizations driven by processes and automation spells career
death to middle management. The traditional management role of the
command hierarchy adds little value when process guides employees and
automation executes.

9. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
The science of creating processes…….
When the traditional middle management role disappears as the hierarchy
transform into spherical, an alternative career path seems to be to develop
processes and “measure for improvement”. Years can be spent in scientific,
artistic improvement projects defining and measuring processes.

Frameworks transforms process development from creative science to
structured engineering

13. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

Changes organizational balance of power

14. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
The speed and quality
obtained through using
frameworks
kills some careers and creates
some

15. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Achieving structured business processes by working from scratch risk
draining organizations, especially when at the same time transitioning
from hierarchical to spherical.
Frameworks lessens the effort, reduces risk and offers lower threshold of
entry when staff swap positions/employers
…..there is a lot of positions being swapped in spherical….

16. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Frameworks speeds up business change

17. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Context Frameworks
So…. That was context….
Now, lets talk frameworks.
Frameworks for business process
and
Enterprise architecture

18. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Guide through steps to build EA
-TOGAF
Describe and group processes
-Supply chain council
reference framework,
-APQC
Analyze and define the objects/elements
needed for EA
-Zachman
Structure, understand and measure
business process
-Leans, -LSS
Define and communicate strategy/goal
-Hoshin Kanri

19. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Frameworks defining business processes &
business capabilities
APICS Supply
chain council

APQC

20. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

Frameworks defining Enterprise Architecture
TOGAF ZACHMAN

21. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

LEAN? LSS?
Frameworks?
Ways of working/methods/philosophies?

23. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Business frameworks, SCC reference model and APQC where
defined before the consumer centric world of
“Digital”, big data & IOT was everyday reality. They where
designed to describe the back office and the back end

24. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Zachman and TOGAF where defined before “New digital”,
before “Spherical”. Before SaaS and cloud, before
generation XYZ
Some might argue that they
require order and structure before they can
assist creating order and structure.

25. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

Lean and LSS were defined before
work life went spherical

28. New digital ; ””Always on”,
”Listen, adapt, interact,”,
continuous interaction.
Work together, always in motion.
Old brick; ”Do your part well,
handover” Sequential
silos that
work in ”isolation”

Is the supply chain council/APICS reference model
too sequential to support capability mapping for
supply chain in ”new digital?”? Does it enforce
silos?

Contextual

Logical
Physical
Detailed
Who has time and
resources to go
through all that?

32. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Hoshin Kanri
Spherical is too cool and
busy….
Hierarchies are too
locked up in
prestige & position

33. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Frameworks are stable references
But they also change
they evolve over time…

34. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Some frameworks are commercial
Open to some extent but locked to some
