Principles - natural & digital ecosystems

Natural ecosystem Digital ecosystem

Solid foundation (bedrock, roots) Robust, fit-for-purpose & fit-for-use digital infrastructure

Intercommunication between agents Integration and data - open standards

Resilient to changes (weather, climate)

Resilient to change (digital disruption, innovation), agile

Self organising - living things (species)

Taxonomies, domains

Harmony Seamless coexistence of systems

Agents - produce and consume resources

Systems act as agents, produce and consume information and data

Sustainable - lifecycle Valued and relevant

Systems of Record - foundation

Systems of Differentiation - opportunity

Systems of Innovation - opportunity

“I don’t know exactly what I want. I need to experiment.”

“I know exactly what I want, but it needs to be different from my competitors.”

“I know exactly what I want, and it doesn’t have to be unique.”

General Principles

Driving Force Common Ideas Better Ideas New Ideas

Business Processes Well-understood, highly integrated and commoditised, interdpendent, stable

Well-understood, highly configurable and customisable; autonomous

Unique, not well-understood, experimental, ambiguous, dynamic and ad hoc

Pace of Change Slow, infrequent, incremental; changes every six to 12 months

Moderate, more frequent, configurability is key - Changes every three to six months

Rapid, frequent and ad hoc; "throwaway" customisation; changes weekly, sometimes daily

Security Tightly controlled, managed complexity Distributed control, manageable complexity

Federated control, high potential complexity

Lifetime - how long it usually stays in that layer

More than 10 years Two to five years Three to 12 months

Planning Horizon - How long you describe the plan in application strategy

More than 7 years One to two years. As long as six months

Business Aspects

Strategic Focus Standardisation: operatonal efficiency. "Run the business"

Agility/flexibility; competitive differentiation; "Grow the business"

Disruptive thinking; alternative business models, market leadership; "Transform the business"

Stakeholders/Ownership High business executive engagement and alignment between business and IT strategy; low end-user engagement; formalo handover from business to IT

High business executive engagement, but driven by lines of business; moderate end-user engagement; business engaging on hot spots and IT filling the gaps

Moderate business executive engagement, some sponsored and under-the-radar, tactival; high end-user engagement

Data/information Highly structured, well-managed Internal and external, some unstructutured; more dynamic

Structured and unstructured data; heavy reliance on external data

Risk Minimum Medium High
