InBrief: Defining Manufacturing Maturity

What It Is: Many models have been developed over the years to describe the factory environment and its structure and maturity, for various reasons, from the Purdue model to Industry 4.0. The purpose of this summary article is to share a concept on how to unpack and discuss the evolution of a facility across multiple dimensions. It is not meant to be prescriptive or “correct” from a content standpoint. It is intended to be used as a tool to inform a structured conversation

Why It Matters: As we continue to add elements to the manufacturing environment, whether it is additional monitoring through sensors, automation through robotics, or analytics leveraging more powerful AI models, our ability to be disciplined and intentional in how we not only define our desired/”ideal” future state but also measure and map out our transition is critical in reaching those desired outcomes efficiently and in a cost-effective way

Key Concepts

Given the complexity and layers of process and automation involved, the “optimized” digital factory of the future needs to be architected, not just engineered
The diagram above is a representation meant to enable a structured discussion on the various operating dimensions that are important in the environment, some of which may not apply at all, depending on the nature of the manufacturing process and goals of the organization
The goal of the model is to break down the people, process, equipment, and technology dimensions (similar to the SIRI model from 2017) into relevant components and identify what a reasonable maturity curve looks like independent of other aspects of a facility. That maturity process could vary significantly by organization (or by product/facility), but the overall goal would be to identify meaningful states along a continuum from unstructured and non-standard ways of working to those that are more standardized, supported through automation, and optimized to the extent possible
Through discussion of the various dimensions, a common vision and understanding can be reached in terms of “what good looks like” that is much more actionable and critical dependencies can be identified to help inform the prioritization of efforts that would be part of a modernization journey (e.g., the criticality of infrastructure to enable digital capabilities)
With a general framework established, one or more “transition states” could be identified to create meaningful tollgates along an evolutionary journey towards whatever the desired state is, assuming more than one step may be required over a period of time
Once the framework is defined, it could be used to establish a baseline of where a given facility is along the maturity curve, the “ideal” state, and any transition states and efforts that would be part of evolutionary journey as part of an overall, integrated transformation strategy
Operating benchmarks could also be established for each of the transition states to evaluate performance across a set of facilities to look for additional opportunities for improvement
In short, the transformation journey could be described as identifying the maturity curve and desired operating states, mapping the current state of facilities against the framework, then developing a roadmap for modernizing each facility (where required) as part of an overall transformation effort

InBrief: Intelligent Monitoring

What It Is: There is an opportunity to rethink how we approach monitoring of operations, to better understand dependencies across components, proactively surface risks to avoid issues, and more effectively manage incidents when they occur

Why It Matters: The complexity of operations, particularly in Manufacturing, has increased substantially, both due to the introduction of digital capabilities and automation at facilities, as well as movement to a hybrid cloud environment. That complexity makes the effective identification of issues time consuming, which can cause significant and costly disruption to production and operating efficiency

Key Concepts

Define a conceptual framework for how your environment is organized first, along with what elements are important to monitor in an integrated fashion
Review existing toolsets in the market (cloud, APM, infrastructure monitoring) to determine whether they provide adequate capability to identify and manage issues effectively. If so, there may be no business reason to look any further
If the complexity of the environment is such that there are a considerable number of critical components involved, the tools available don’t provide sufficient capability, and the cost of extended outages or inadequate operating performance is material… THEN it may make sense to explore a more integrated and intelligent solution
It is important to note that this is not an either/or proposition. Even when pursuing a more elegant and integrated solution, for certain roles (e.g., security monitoring), existing tools likely should be leveraged in parallel with more advanced tools, so as not to need to replicate capabilities available across other tools that may be in place
The goal is to aggregate data from across existing monitoring platforms (or from source components themselves), run analytics to determine dependencies across operating components, and then apply that understanding to both monitor and triage issues more effectively at the time of an incident, as well as to handle the resolution process more effectively by having a streamlined process for notification and problem resolution
Once the infrastructure is established to perform the base capabilities described herein, additional components and data sets could be added over time to enrich the capability overall

Key Dimensions of the Solution

Enterprise Repository – Aggregated availability, connectivity, performance, and security data
Intelligent Monitoring – An AI-informed process that identifies risks and accelerates resolution
Performance Analytics –AI capability that identifies dependencies and evaluates benchmarks
Integrated Alerting / Notifications – Process to reduce duplication and manage communication
Orchestration – Workflow rules for incident management depending on the existing conditions
Command Center – A holistic view of operations across connected solution components
End-User View – A subset of enterprise data, specific to the end user relevant to their need/role

InBrief: Managing Cloud Migration

What It Is: Managing internally hosted infrastructure can be expensive and burdensome, which is one of the reasons that migrating workloads to the cloud has seen a significant surge over the last decade or so

Why It Matters: While the financial argument of shifting from “capex to opex” sounds favorable at first, a significant number of costs will be introduced when pivoting to a hybrid or cloud-native environment. A structured approach provides a more predictable outcome, while also unlocking new cloud capabilities

Key Concepts

Cloud strategy isn’t “one size fits all” – A thoughtful approach should be taken to evaluate where cloud migration creates value or competitive advantage versus going “all in”
It’s also never just a “Lift and Shift” – The minute workloads move outside an internally hosted environment, the technical complexity of a footprint and cyber risk materially increase and additional consideration needs to be given to the impact those changes will have to manage exposure
Plan to govern from Day One – Moving quickly in the case of the cloud can lead to immediate issues of orphaned assets and spiraling, unexpected costs. Having a migration plan is crucial
Establish roles and accountability – While the concept of enabling a broader set of delivery stakeholders to provision assets via a console is attractive and responsive at one level, it also introduces considerable risk of things being handled improperly. Thinking through the operating model, expectations of various roles in relation to things like provisioning, managing, and utilizing cloud-based assets is critical

Key Dimensions

Educate

With any cloud migration, it is important to have the necessary expertise and educate anyone involved in the provisioning and utilization of cloud-based assets to ensure they do so properly

Plan

Like any other component of an enterprise footprint, cloud strategy should be thoughtful and integrated with the overall technology strategy and not implemented on an ad-hoc basis
Financial planning should allow for contingency cost until a disciplined FinOps process is in place

Secure

Cloud migration introduces considerable complexity to vulnerability management, securing transactions and data, managing identities, etc. Additional tooling and monitoring capabilities will be needed for environments, as well as changes to DevSecOps processes across teams

Tag

An effective tagging strategy (ideally automated) is crucial to establish ownership, provide transparency into asset utilization, manage cost allocation, and maintain the footprint over time

Monitor

It is critical to establish a FinOps process for monitoring and managing spend to avoid waste
Cloud migration adds significant complexity to integrated monitoring across hosted, cloud, and edge-based computing environments. Incident management processes will need to be updated

Govern

Establish ownership for monitoring and governance of cloud-based assets to promote consistent use and standards across an organization, even if assets are provisioned in a federated manner

InBrief: The Role of Architecture

What It Is: Architecture provides the structure, standards, and framework for how technology strategy should be manifested and governed, including its alignment to business strategy, capabilities, and priorities. It should ideally be aligned at every level, from the enterprise to individual delivery projects

Why It Matters: Technology is a significant enabler and competitive differentiator in most organizations. Architecture provides a mental model and structure to ensure that technology delivery is aligned to overall strategies that create value. Having a lack of architecture discipline is like building a house without a blueprint… it will cost more to build, not be structurally sound, and expensive to maintain

Key Dimensions

Operating Model – How you organize around and enable the capability
Enable Innovation – How you allow for rapid experimentation and introduction of capabilities
Accelerating Outcomes – How you promote speed-to-market through structured delivery
Optimizing Value/Cost – How you manage complexity, minimize waste, and modernize
Inspiring Practitioners – How you identify skills, motivate, enable, and retain a diverse workforce
Performing in Production – How you promote ongoing reliability, performance, and security

Operating Model

Design the model to provide both enterprise oversight and integrated support with delivery
Ensure there is two-way collaboration, so delivery informs strategy and standards and vice versa
Foster a “healthy” tension between doing things “rapidly” and doing things “right”

Innovate

Identify and thoughtfully evaluate emerging technologies that can provide new capabilities that promote competitive advantage
Engage in experimentation to ensure new capabilities can be productionized and scaled

Accelerate

Develop standards, promote reuse, avoid silos, and reduce complexity to enable rapid delivery
Ensure governance processes promote engagement while not gating or limiting delivery efficacy

Optimize

Identify approaches to enable simplification and modernization to promote cost efficiency
Support benchmarking where appropriate to ensure cost and quality of service is competitive

Inspire

Inform talent strategy ensuring the right skills to support ongoing innovation and modernization
Provide growth paths to enable fair and thoughtful movement across roles in the organization

Perform

Integrate cyber security throughout delivery processes and ensure integrated monitoring for reliability and performance in production, across hosted and cloud-based environments

InBrief: Transformation

What It Is: Transformation is the process of reshaping a way of working in the interest of achieving a significant and measurable impact in business results

Why It Matters: When faced with changing market conditions, competitive threats, technology advancements, etc., it is critical for organizations to reinvent themselves. This typically involves changes to process, organization, and technology and doing so in a thoughtful manner is critically important

Critical Dimensions

A Compelling Vision – The desired future state should be clear enough to create emotional investment and the commitment required to overcome the inertia that naturally resists change
Clear Business Outcomes –There should be tangible goals established (along with key financial and operating metrics) to inform prioritization and guide critical decisions throughout execution
Courageous, Committed Leadership – Transformation efforts are complex and require resilience, decisiveness, persistence, and determination to work through adversity along the way
A Supportive Culture – The environment and culture within an organization will have an impact on the degree of change that is possible to achieve overall and the rate at which it can be done
A Thoughtful Approach – It is tempting in larger programs to initiate too much work, too quickly, causing significant disruption and suboptimal results (or even programs to fail overall). Given that a lot of learnings tend to occur in terms of processes, standards, and governance in initial delivery efforts, it is often the case that incubating large programs with a smaller, expert team and extending and scaling afterward is a more effective way to build momentum and reduce risk
Results-Orientation – Another problem in large transformation efforts is taking on too much, too early in terms of scope that can substantially defer any benefit realization, by comparison with a consistent, incremental delivery environment that is both predictable and repeatable over time
Adaptability and Agility – Transformation efforts are messy, involve complexity, and typically run into a host of issues throughout execution. It is critical to maintain a high level of transparency into ongoing work, have an active and engaged governance process, and to make decisions efficiently and thoughtfully as they are needed during execution. Roadmaps produced at the start of large programs rarely remain unchanged for very long, and it’s important that every inflection point is taken as an opportunity to learn, improve, and respond versus react
Patience and Discipline – Sustainable change takes time. While it’s possible to force a level of change in the short-term and achieve incremental benefits, systemic and holistic changes to the way an organization operates take time. Managing the process in a disciplined way both helps achieve overall results faster as well as mitigate risk

InBrief: Consulting vs GenAI

What It Is: Companies lean on consulting organizations to bring capabilities to bear in the interest of solving problems. GenAI has caused disruption in how organizations are thinking about that relationship

Why It Matters: Organizations want to spend money effectively in the interest of fostering innovation, creating competitive advantage, and generating value. The relatively low cost and speed with which one can write prompts and obtain rapid, well-formed responses challenges many aspects of the time and cost involved in traditional consulting efforts, which is the focus of this article

Where GenAI is Helpful

It’s important to acknowledge that leveraging AI can be a relatively easy and highly effective way to quickly surface content that is informative and pertinent to a given subject or request

Some Additional Considerations, however… in favor of Consultants

If every complex business problem was as simple as reading a book, that book would’ve been written (many have, in fact), everyone would read it, and achieved peak effectiveness already. Except, that’s not the case. We don’t operate in a perfect world of theoretical norms. Real life involves context and specifics, including the dynamics, idiosyncrasies, and people that are part of organizations. Part of the role consultants play is to translate and apply conceptual ideals to real-world environments, and that’s one of the ways that they create value for their clients
Part of what you buy with consulting is also institutional knowledge that comes from experience working in a given industry, access to other organizations and the ways they operate, etc., that is not “publicly available”. With the advent of AI, there will be a rise in proprietary data providers that cover gaps in what is available in the public domain, but if you are contracting to access those additional insights, you’re essentially still paying someone for outside perspective
Business challenges are complex, have multiple dimensions, and your priorities play a significant role in what you ultimately achieve. Part of the value consultants provide is not just providing a laundry list of things to do or concepts to consider, but a thoughtful list of priorities and way to navigate complex situations with your organization’s realities and your environment in mind
Another reason organizations look to consultants is to help foster and promote innovation. Innovation, by definition, is not “best practice”. It exists in the white space between what is and what could be, and that is not something that can be harvested from a knowledge base, no matter how quickly you can access it, or how well-formed it appears on a screen. It is a creative act in itself, and having someone help facilitate that process can create substantial value
To the extent that a consultancy is providing experience on something that is outside of an organization’s core competency, understanding the quality of what comes from an AI-only solution could be difficult to impossible. If that inquiry is critical to your business, the next question is whether you want to place a bet without understanding whether the answer is based in fact or potential “hallucinations” and the degree to which it is comprehensive at all
While it is not always the nature of consulting, having an unbiased perspective can be extremely valuable. The result of an AI inquiry can be based on the nature of the prompt that was written and what the tool knows about that requestor themself. Strategy consultants are meant to eliminate a level of confirmation bias that could limit the potential of what is possible
Finally, while we may trust technology to varying degrees in every day life, there is something to be said with the level of trust it takes to rely on it without a level of objective and authoritative support. Prompting can lead to continually refined results, but there is also value and a benefit to having conversation, a true understanding of needs, and the comfort that comes with actual human interaction and discourse and a solution that is right for “you”.

InBrief: CIO and CTO Roles

What It Is: Technology organizations are sometimes led through a combination of CIO and CTO roles, working towards a shared vision, each having a clear focus in the interest of promoting IT excellence

Why It Matters: Technology continues to advance at a rate, particularly with the introduction of AI, that exceeds many organizations ability to respond effectively. Having the right leadership in place to develop strategy, consider longer-term implications of decisions made in ongoing delivery, and govern execution can be key to avoiding technical debt, while promoting delivery excellence over time

Five Types of CTOs

Technology Strategist – This is the most common modern orientation, focused on enablement, simplification, optimization, and capability delivery
Mistitled CIO – This occurs when the CTO actually has all the typical CIO responsibilities and they are fulfilling that role in every way, leading IT, setting direction, etc. without the CIO title
Futurist – This occurs where the CTO plays a more directional, but not action-oriented role, focused on white/position papers, and ideation
Infrastructure Lead – This is the historical role of a CTO, focused more on hosting, networking, reliability, performance, and operations with the CIO covering applications and data
Lead Designer / Senior Developer – This generally the case in start-up/smaller scale product environments, where the CTO leads the product design and helps code the solution

High-Level Differences

CIO focuses on the “what”, obtains business alignment and identifies capabilities, along with desired technology capabilities, focuses on the customer and providing vision and direction
CTO focuses on the “how”, understands desired business capabilities, determines how to provide technical capabilities and deliver on commitments, partnering with the broader team
Both roles participate in governance, CIO provides and aligns business priorities, CTO provides and aligns technical priorities in support of the CIO

When It Makes Sense to Have a CTO in Addition to a CIO

There is sufficient time required working with business partners that additional support is needed to define and evolve the technology strategy and work actively with delivery leaders
There is considerable complexity in the technology footprint, a high degree of transformation, or substantial integration required across ongoing delivery where having the CIO focused in the weeds of execution could result in underserving the business team and executive leadership
There is a need to move multiple levers (cloud platform migration, modernization, core platform implementation, AI integration, etc.) that a level of dedicated focus and oversight is needed to work through the risks and impacts of various strategies to define the best technology solution
When the scale of the organization in people, internally, externally, including customers, suppliers, and partners exceeds one person’s ability to manage relationships effectively
Where the CIO has a business background and it is helpful to supplement their capabilities with a more technology-focused leader overall

Benefits of Having a “Healthy Tension”

There can be a natural tension created when there is a separation of roles, because a CIO generally is incented to deliver new business capabilities at speed and the CTO should be incented to do things “right” to minimize long-term cost of ownership, managing technical debt, promoting standards and governance, and improving predictability of the delivery environment
Business delivery will generally be top priority, but having a CTO can mitigate the impact of tradeoffs made during delivery, particularly in large programs, where consequences are higher

The Downside:

There is incremental cost associated with adding leadership roles, there can be confusion across the broader IT leadership if roles and responsibilities aren’t clear, and a strong CIO/CTO partnership is important to making the role effective in practice
That being said, the value to any organization with a relatively large technology footprint would likely far exceed the cost of having a CTO focused on managing complexity and optimizing cost

The Difference Between CTO and Chief Architect

The CTO is the keeper of the overall technology strategy, apps, data, infrastructure, security integration with all of the above (working with the CISO), inclusive of the delivery environment
A “Chief Architect” tends to be more narrowly focused on application and data architecture strategy, but with awareness on how to incorporate cloud and platform strategy as well
A Chief Architect could be a role reporting to the CTO, depending on the scale of the organization, focused more on defining, modernizing, or rationalizing the enterprise ecosystem of connected components, acting more like a designer than a strategist, where a CTO without this role would generally do both at the enterprise level

InBrief: IT Operations

What It Is: IT Operations provides “IT for IT”, the infrastructure to track, monitor, and manage operating performance across various dimensions, depending on the scale and complexity of the organization

Why It Matters: The more an IT organization scales in headcount and complexity, the more important it becomes to have a way to benchmark performance and enable operational excellence

Key Concepts

IT Ops is a support organization meant to promote effectiveness, not create bureaucracy
Ops should be centralized regardless of the IT operating model (functional, product-based, etc.)
For large-scale organizations, a federated IT Ops model is preferable for overall org effectiveness

Key Dimensions

Transparency

Without visibility, it is nearly impossible to promote excellence and operational improvement
Focus should be on critical, minimum metrics that enable governance and benchmarking
Metrics can span from a leadership IT scorecard to portfolio and delivery metrics

Governance, Compliance, and Risk Management

IT Ops doesn’t need to provide PMO services, but it should ensure they exist and are effective
Compliance capabilities can be everything from regulatory and SOX to cyber security and audit

Portfolio Management

IT Ops may not provide the services, but should ensure that transparency and governance exist
Capabilities can span demand generation and prioritization to monitoring and value realization

Workforce and Sourcing Strategy

IT Ops should monitor internal/external performance, utilization, and workforce composition

Financial Management

IT Ops should help benchmark value/cost across IT at a service level and identify improvements

Continuous Improvement

IT Ops should identify and track operational excellence opportunities on an ongoing basis
Part of ongoing improvement should be reviewing and ensuring efficacy of IT services overall

InBrief: IT Portfolio Management

What It Is: IT Portfolio Management is the process whereby technology investments are prioritized, managed, and governed (from demand management through delivery) on an ongoing basis, in the interest of enabling business strategy, maximizing return, minimizing risk, and providing security and compliance.

Why It Matters: Organizations don’t have unlimited capacity in terms of people, funding, ability to adopt new solutions, etc. and ensuring investments is essential to maximizing value in relation to spend

Overall Concepts

Portfolio management is about leadership and business partnership first, and process second
Portfolio reviews should produce schedule changes, delivery engagement, or risk management
Understanding total cost of ownership and effective resource management are critical input
Performing named resource planning versus role-based is important for critical roles

Transparency and Governance

Provide visibility into demand, scope, value, complexity, critical resource needs
Monitor ongoing delivery to proactively address risk and maintain and adjust release calendar
Evaluate and report on value realization, adjust metrics on new demand to improve efficacy

Portfolio Allocation

Typically includes: Innovation, Business Projects, Modernization, Security, Compliance, Operate
Prioritization model balance local versus global efforts, short- and long-term value

Release Management

Have a structured release approach with deployment windows to reduce risk and ease adoption
Frontload the first half of the year to avoid excess resource availability issues near the holidays
Separate major and minor releases, maintenance, and experiments into defined release slots

Change Management

Manage a global view of deployments to avoid schedule conflicts and manage end user change
Maintain an end-user view of technology and consider integration to avoid being project-centric

Tools

Portfolio management tools should enable and support the process, never become the focus
Gather only critical data that is actionable, or it is administrative overhead and likely wasteful

InBrief: Developing IT Strategy

What It Is: An overall IT Strategy sets direction for an organization, providing a framework for the services IT provides, along with key dimensions and objectives, with flexibility to evolve over time

Why It Matters: With the ever-increasing demand for innovation in a competitive, but cost-conscious environment, a thoughtful strategy accelerates results, reduces cost and risk, and enables sustainability

Key Concepts

Technology strategy always needs to be rooted in a business-enabling approach
It is tempting to over-index on one dimension (e.g., cost management) and sacrifice capability
Excellence in IT is rooted in having business aligned objectives, with a disciplined approach
This model is organized around five key dimensions, which should be defined and prioritized
A simple IT scorecard could be created using how business partners evaluate each dimension
This article focuses on delivering IT objectives, IT Excellence focuses on “how to operate” in IT

Key Dimensions

Innovate – Promote Competitive Advantage

Map to business goals, establish a disciplined innovation process aligned to architecture strategy
Metrics: Increased competitive capabilities, Improved customer satisfaction (int/ext)

Accelerate – Deliver with Quality and Speed

Optimize investments, promote quality / standards / reuse, facilitate continuous improvement
Metrics: Reduced time-to-market, increased on-time delivery, increased quality

Optimize – Deliver at the Right Cost of Service

Reduce complexity, optimize costs, continually modernize, leverage workforce strategy
Metrics: Increased value/cost ratio, reduced technical debt, reduced complexity

Inspire – Promote Sustainable Productivity and Engagement

Promote a healthy culture, develop employees, enable collaboration, provide transparency
Metrics: Low voluntary attrition, high average utilization, high employee satisfaction

Perform – Ensure Production Security, Reliability, and Performance

Monitor and invest in production health, establish “zero trust”, manage critical vulnerabilities
Metrics: High availability, low unplanned outages, zero security incidents
