Information pillars and the need for virtualization.
Information pillars– Diverse storage and processing
matched to business needs
Reification (making the abstract real)– A consistent, cross-pillar view of info.
according to an overarching model and access to it in real-time
– Virtualization
Assimilation– Creation of reconciled and consistent
information sets prior to business use
Instantiation– Representing measures, events and
messages as info. instances– ETL, file access and more
Transactions

Context-setting information is a new way of looking at metadata.
Metadata is two four-letter words!– Information (not data)– Describes all “stuff” (not just data)– Indistinguishable from “business information”
by non-IT people (and some IT people)– Many (or most) metadata projects fail
Context-setting information (CSI)– New image– Describes what it is and does– Context-setting information provides the background to each piece of
information, to every process component and to all the people that constitute the business
– Every piece of information adds context to something else; it is all context setting

Many organizations today continue to have two partially dysfunctional decision support systems.
Formal system – BI / DW– Center-out model– Provides consistent, quality
data– Focused on production– Innovation obstructed by lack
of agility
Informal system – spreadsheets– Edge-on model– Individual innovation– Unmanaged proliferation– Difficult to make consistent
production

The adaptive decision cycle supports innovation at the edge and control at the centre.
Exploring (E)– Business analysts perform
highly innovative work– Peer input and review
Cultivating (C)– Peer-reviewed work used
by a wider group– Viral take-up and review
Grounding (G)– Promotion to corporate use– Audited and assured by IT
Key role of social networking IT involved only in final step!
