9. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context

10. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
 An understanding/agreement what’s needed
Most of the time: Delivered in documents

11. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
 Delivered in documents
 Activities that drive the delivery of the information
Most of the time: Predefined processes

12. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
 Delivered in documents
 Predefined processes
 Placeholders where the information can be found
Most of the time: Folders or BOM structures

13. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Characteristics:
 Caters for linear processes
 Keeps silos/systems in place
Manual/Automated data conversions
 Provides measurable results /
comparable processes
Difficult to implement as it requires horizontal coordination

14. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Microservices
APIs
Dashboards
Apps
Closer to customers, Empower employees, and Transform internal business processes
Operations

15. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
 Data created by accountable persons
To be: Breaking silos – think about consumers of data

16. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
 Breaking silos – think about consumers of data
 Other formats than documents / files
To be: Using Models & Parameters to share

17. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
 Breaking silos – think about consumers of data
 Using Models & Parameters to share
 Reliable data uniquely created and shared in open formats
To be: Using Master Data Management & Data Governance

18. Whatdoes it mean: Connected?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Characteristics:
 Real-time availability
Extremely fast
 Scalable / flexible
 Knowledge / Insights
 Automated / Intelligence

Coordinated and Connected  Evolutionary Path ?

21. Coordinated and Connected  Evolutionary Path ?
Different Data
Different People
Different Processes

22. From Coordinated to Connected: Different Data
System of Record
Systems of Engagement
You will need both !
Service
/Operations
Service/Operations

23. From Coordinated to Connected: Different People
From “OWNING”
To “SHARING”
• Owns Knowledge –
“my ways of working are the best for me”
• A lot of knowledge without context
• Waterfall – focus on the job
Best fit for hierarchical organizations
• Collects knowledge and shares
“I know where to find information”
• Connect to customer / business
• Agile – focus on the next step
Best fit for multidisciplinary teams
/ startups

24. From Coordinated to Connected: Different Processes
Linear
Inside Out
Documents
Push
Incremental
Outside In
Data-driven
Pull

25. Coordinated to Connected: No Migration!
No Migration possible ! No Migration affordable !
2015
Overlay approach
is an
intermediate stage

26. Coordinated and Connected  Whyyou need both (2017)
Oct 2017 - McKinsey – our insights/toward an integrated technology operating model

27. Coordinated and Connected  The Need for Both
Coordinated business will remain

28. Coordinated and Connected  The Need for Both
Connected business will grow and connect to coordinated where possible

29. Coordinated and Connected – the Transformation
The two modes will both contribute to current and top-line business

30. Whatdoesa Coordinated-Connected Transition mean forthem?

31. Connected and Coordinated  Strategy
• Get Digital educated
• Build the strong vision and story !
• Understand the duality of digital
• Measure and adjust

32. Connected and Coordinated  Strategy
 Educate your management:
digital transformation is a transition
 Understand the incompatibility of data
 Transition comes from a 2-speed approach
 Think about data quality and
model-based approaches (MBSE / MBE)

33. Connected and Coordinated  Execution
 Rip-and-replace does not work anymore
 No Migration
 Build your solution / portfolio for a
coordinated and connected approach
 Take openness & standards seriously
+ Implementers

34. Connected and Coordinated  Execution
 People will not change.
They adapt within their ability to change
They need a reason (vision/ myth) / engage them
 Organizations can run in two modes;
People can not !
 Invest in continuous education
 Use a coaching model for transition

35. Fourtakeaways
 Digital Transformation is a challenge !
Duality in business needs to be understood.
Requires strong vision and leadership.
 Don’t think a connected enterprise is easy .
Learn from your “getting coordinated” journey.
Do you have digital skills and a simplified story ?
 Understand the incompatibility of current and future data.
Reduce the chasm through data quality and model-based
initiatives in your coordinated environment.
 No Proof of Concepts – Act
Spend energy & time in common understanding
Start small, measure and scale (fast) or fail (fast)
