Data Science-driven Digital Transformation: Learning from Data-driven Organizations
Watch On-Demand

Leading companies that have deployed Process Mining successfully have learned how to leverage data to drive business outcomes. Companies that are not data-driven have seen their data-driven competitors seize market share and make inroads into their customer base over the course of the past decade.

For several years  now, investments in data and AI initiatives have been ranked by executives as the technology that will enable them to compete better in the marketplace. However,  despite this acknowledgement and investments, many organizations struggle to drive value from their AI and data analytics investments.

  • By 2022, 90% of corporate strategies will explicitly mention information as a critical enterprise asset and analytics as an essential competency.
  • By 2023, data literacy will become an explicit and necessary driver of business value, demonstrated by its formal inclusion in over 80% of data and analytics strategies and change management programs.

This session will review some of the major challenges and highlight the best practices and lessons learned from data-driven organizations.

Beyond Process Mining
Watch On-Demand

During the last decade, Process Mining has been established as a powerful technology to achieve insights into complex business processes. “Switching on the light” has allowed companies to identify and remediate process inefficiencies. However, transparency is not a purpose of its own. Companies strive for Value, which is achieved e.g. through elimination of execution gaps, improved financial performance or smart sustainability levers.

In his presentation, Dr. Reinkemeyer will address the impact beyond Process Mining: technologies which leverage insights for proactive alerting, intelligent automation and simulation. Methodologies to frame and sustain value such as value trees, Masterplans and Centers of Excellence which serve as an internal accelerator to drive process transformation. In this evolution, Process Mining is the foundation which needs to be intelligently complemented to drive value for companies.

Using process risk analysis to determine the starting point of digital transformation
Watch On-Demand

Process Risk Analysis (PRA) is a method of examining and classifying operational processes into categories based on a variety of factors. This will help understand the completeness, accuracy, and precision, and automatability of process models and can also explain process discrepancies and lack of performance. More importantly, this exercise will provide a picture of which business processes are ready for automation and digital transformation, and will clearly illustrate the work that needs to be performed for processes that are not ready. Companies that do not examine their processes before implementing automation solutions tend to focus on the processes that cause the greatest problems – but automation is not always the solution and in fact may vastly accelerate failure.

The goal of this session is to provide a framework of PRA as it applies to a digital transformation strategy and encourage the user to focus on preparing processes for digital transformation before implementing technology.

  • Understand the PRA framework
  • Understand the Process Precision and Accuracy matrix and it’s impact on variance and waste
  • Understand the major factors that impact successful process automation (hint: it’s not the tool!)
  • Understand the importance of process governance

The global pandemic has transformed the way we do work as well as where we work. The workplace is no longer the place where workers go to work nor is it where the worker is. The new workplace is the shared digital environment and digital collaboration tools working teams use to get work done regardless of their location. What the pandemic showed us is that digital technology can and should change how we think about, and use, the workplace as work becomes more digital and mobile. This new digital working space creates challenges for organisations with regards to security, productivity, and costs. Creating a productive digital workplace begins with shifting one’s mindset from thinking about the workplace as a location to seeing it as a network of digitally mediated relationships and interactions.  Technology now allows us to combine digital tools with physical space to create a modern digital workplace, one that uses the best capabilities of both. This creates new challenges for teams working digitally across boundaries and locations.

If your goal or objective is different results, then it’s time to change the way you think about and leverage the range of automation options available to you.

During the session Mark will share.

  • Why an Outside-In Customer Centric Approach Delivers Greater Value.
  • How and why Customer Excellence differs from Customer Experience.
  • A Framework for Effectively Executing a Customer Excellence Strategy.
  • How Tools and Technologies Can be Combined to Meet the Holistic Needs.

Performance Anxiety: How to Define and Measure What Really Matters
Watch On-Demand

We all learn that objectives should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound), and yet we often find ourselves held accountable for metrics that are questionable in terms of their relevance or actual value, to be polite. And yet, no metric, as long as it is valid (measures what you think it measures) and reliable (can be reliably measured without bias or at least with bias accounted for) is inherently wrong…unless it is.

When reading “our new system to help increase self-service shows a 25% reduction in tickets logged as compared to the legacy system”, the statement raises more questions than it answers, especially if the system is running in parallel and allows users to choose freely which system to use. Is the system “causing” the drop, or differences in the users groups? These questions can be answered, robustly, and executives can be provided insights that are both accurate and actionable. Anything can be measured, if you really think about how to define exactly what you are trying to achieve.   

This talk will provide insights into the following areas of organizational life:

  • Why so many metrics often make so little sense.  
  • Why classical KPIs don’t work for most functions, and an alternative that can.
  • Why people tend to be very poor at estimation, and a method to improve the accuracy of your organization around “intangibles”.
  • How to minimize the anxiety of accountability.
  • A simple step-by-step framework to help get you started on defining and measuring what really matters.

You’ve Automated to Survive COVID-19, But What Now? Transforming the Messy Processes that Serve Users
Watch On-Demand

COVID-19 forced mass adoption of Digital Transformation technologies, mainly to keep businesses running when the workforce, customers and partners at once became virtual and relied on whatever automation was readily available. Now, a year into this new paradigm of work, we’ve learned that merely automating a process is not digital transformation; rather, processes must be re-imagined as experience management – especially those processes around employee and customer service.

This session highlights:

  • A “Digital Intelligence” approach to transforming processes that involve people using unstructured content to make decisions and serve their users
  • Thinking beyond the importance of data, process flow and tasks to discover, monitor and optimize
  • The role of unstructured content as decision, compliance and risk points in employee and customer interactions and making them work for, not against your digitization goals

Purpose driven Cloud Strategy and role of IT infrastructure in it
Watch On-Demand

Just upto 6-7 years ago, many leaders believed that Cloud is just a fad. These leaders represented some of the largest technology companies that have been legends in their respective business domains.

Well the reality is for everyone to see now. However do we believe that all of us in technology world today are fully onboarded with the idea and understanding of Cloud? The understanding of Cloud, its requirements, technology landscape behind it and business outcomes that it can influence are probably still evolving.

Many of the companies still don’t run on cloud, either they are not ready for It or they don’t see a dire need to go on Cloud. Sometimes IT budgets don’t allow it, sometimes path to move to Cloud is not clear and most of the times, the companies are victims of heavy customization done systematically by their employed ITvendors.

Key takeaways:

  • IT and Business to work and plan Cloud strategy together; A purpose driven Cloud strategy.
  • Importance and relevance of holistic Cloud strategies with multiple options that are affordable and sustainable.

Empowering Excellence in R&D
Watch On-Demand

The biopharmaceutical R&D value stream process is complex, lengthy (10 years average to develop a biologics drug from discovery to commercial launch) and highly matrixed. It consists of technical processes which interfaces with various business processes needed to enable the drug development process.

In addition, the R&D environment naturally focusses on “scientific excellence” and faces cultural challenges to embrace “operational excellence”. Thus, the long lead time to develop a drug combined with the highly matrix interfaces and cultural barriers makes it challenging to develop an operational excellence roadmap for R&D. The road to operational excellence in R&D is very young and more complex compared to the manufacturing and service businesses

  • requires adaptation of traditional approaches to fit the R&D processes
  • requires transversal collaboration to be successful
  • requires cultural change within the organization

This presentation will demonstrate the impact of Operational Excellence for R&D, in terms of transforming R&D into a highly efficient organization and enabling scientific excellence in R&D. It will show you how to build your own roadmap for empowering excellence in the R&D environment, which will include the following

Healthcare information: Creating patient-controlled, standardized, secure and open data structures
Watch On-Demand
Healthcare information is locked behind silos controlled by providers and insurance companies. Within these silos, clinical and imaging data is kept separately. His arrangement makes it very difficult to correlate the two to find patterns that lead to insight even when working within a single silo. Working across silos is much more difficult and is one of the major impediments to advances on medical research.
The patient is left out completely, let alone having little control over how their data is used. That is about to change. The pieces exist to allow the creation of patient-controlled, standardized, and open data structures protected by advanced cryptography that will eventually replace these silos. In the short term, the silos will continue to exist, but will become increasingly unwieldy to maintain. This talk will paint a picture of this future. 
  • Understand the problems we face with the status quo
  • Learn about the “big picture” offered by this future
  • Learn about the pieces required to make it work

Reliability Centered Maintenance and Asset Connectivity
Watch On-Demand

The ability to predict outcomes can prove to be a competitive advantage in any realm of life. Prediction, within the Maintenance community, is key to staying out in front of equipment failures. The importance of a clean source of data in order to identify trends and detect failure modes especially random failures is what keeps equipment available for use and reliable when in use.

The ability to collect data is an obstacle, especially in capital-intensive industries. The solution is an investment in a cloud-based operating system that, through sensors placed on specific components of equipment, will allow the transition of asset data into the ability to monitor and analyze that data that then is used to make inferences from.

These inferences then lead to the deployment of specific maintenance strategies.

Key Takeaways:

  • The role that Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) plays within any industry is critical.
  • RCM is a systematic (data-driven) and standardized approach to define and execute routine preventive and predictive maintenance activities in order to maximize company assets ROIC and capacity through improved equipment availability & reliability and reduced operating and capital costs.
  • RCM relies on asset (equipment) data in order to make decisions as to what maintenance strategy to deploy such as preventive or predictive.
  • Many organizations who utilize RCM are not realizing the full potential of it due to a lack of clean data from the assets (equipment) they are committed to managing.
  • Leveraging process mining to turn event data (equipment in a run state) into predictable outcomes drives many advantages for the organization such as staying out in front of equipment failure.

Culture Eats Strategy Every Time. How to go from wishing to wisdom when building a winning culture
Watch On-Demand

The famous reference by Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” rings true when looking at actual results versus our expected outcomes around strategic implementations. An employee’s ability to adapt to rapid business change has less to do with what’s changing and more to do with cultural context. The larger an organization, the more vulnerable a company culture can become.  When you throw on a sudden shift to working remotely, culture can be even less impervious to leaks. Much like a 12-step process focused on recovery, the first step in culture change is being willing to hold up the mirror and objectively look at how your culture truly reflects your company values and business vision.   

Key Takeaways:

  • A modern working definition of company culture
  • How avoiding a focus on culture can thwart the best-laid strategies and depreciate brand equity
  • Key factors to accurately assess the true health of a company culture
  • The deceptively simple number one secret to building a winning culture
  • How diversity, equity and inclusion must be at the heart of your culture strategy

Your Attitude is Your Breakthrough: Change the Attitudes, Change the Culture
Watch On-Demand

As cohorts of Operational Excellence, most of us attack operational excellence and cultural transformation by focusing on processes and systems. But what about the people? What about people’s attitudes? The famous John Maxwell says “Good attitudes among players do not guarantee a team’s success, but bad attitudes guarantee its failure”. 

What if you could get people to live their life  and work life in a way that maximizes their potential, opens doors, impacts people's lives, AND allows them to live financially well all while making your team/organization great?

Sometimes people feel stuck, unproductive and living a less than fulfilling life. This affects their performance at work. What is the key to breakthrough? Many will tell you it’s education. The acquisition of knowledge. Some say it is the ability to win friends and influence people. Some will say the search for your purpose or passion. Others will say “hard work” is the key. All of these have some part to play and have some benefit. However, this presentation is going to show you what I have learned while consulting with hundreds and hundreds of organizations and individuals. You see, there is a “secret” hidden in all of this that can drastically change YOU, your people and your organization. Sure process improvement and system enablement can change and organization. But systemic change requires changing people and their attitudes. Embracing these concepts and putting them into practice will drastically change your organization almost immediately. It is totally up to you.

Key takeaways:

  • What shapes our attitudes?
  • How do we perceive situations that determine our response?
  • How goals and objectives improve attitudes
  • How attitude determines a focus
  • How do attitudes affect team & organizational performance?
  • Building great attitudes build great people, build great organizations
  • Cultural Transformation: People (and their attitudes), Process & Systems
  • What you can do immediately?

Automate any Process, Anywhere
Watch On-Demand

Imagine your people could effectively work together so that they can build the processes that accelerate the business and improve customer's experiences – all at the right time and with the flexibility to change as soon the business needs change.

Imagine the processes could orchestrate all people, systems, and things that are needed to drive great outcomes. And imagine you could quickly understand any potential inefficiencies or bottlenecks and improve these processes as you go.

I would like to share Camunda's vision for process automation with you – a vision in which you can eventually automate any process, anywhere.

The 21st century will be dominated by algorithms. ‘Algorithm’ is arguably the single most important concept in our world -- Yuval Noah Harari: Homo Deus, 2016.

Processes are the Algorithms of an Organization. Successful businesses are masters in optimizing their algorithms 

- by automating business processes that are designed precisely to their needs, 

- by improving continuously as they gain more insights over time and 

- by relentlessly leaving no part of a process across people, systems or devices behind. 

Today’s Process Automation Challenge is End-to-end Process Automation --the key to Digital Transformation.

It’s Camunda’s mission to let you automate any process, anywhere.

Terminating a relationship with the customer - why and how?
Watch On-Demand

In the financial sector terminating a relationship with the client is important for 3 reasons - financial crime, risk appetite, and economics. Banks and other financial organizations need to be cautious when onboarding new clients and while maintaining relationships with them.

It is, though, equally important for those organizations to say goodbye to their dear clients where the regulators or the stakeholders expect them to do so. They need to act promptly - but they also need to be thorough to ensure the offboarded client has no access to the bank's products and services. This is especially important in the case of financial crime-driven offboarding.

  • How to establish and execute an effective client offboarding process?
  • What are the key and common challenges that may prevent the current offboarding process from being thorough and efficient?
  • How enterprise architecture can help?

The presentation will use a real-life example of the major bank's offboarding approach to provide the answers.

Today’s customer has become more informed and enriched and they no longer compare one banking institute or organisation with another or for that matter a product they offer with another. In fact, they compare experiences. Experiences that are easy, instant, and seamless.

This change has made a paradigm shift to current day business operations, how the business will get done, how to stay relevant and play an active part in the customer’s life. Traditional approaches with siloed channels with numerous repetitive workflows are doing little benefit to organisations, staff, and customers they serve.

The Covid-19 pandemic impact has been one of the most interesting social, economic, and consumption experiments in real-time with billions of people overnight changing pretty much everything about their habits. It has already impacted customer behaviors significantly through at least the near-term future.

In normal times, customer experience in banking is about making customers happy—with the result that they are more loyal, use products more, and cost less to serve. In the context of COVID-19, superior customer experience means clarity and transparency, support for digital tools with which many customers are still unfamiliar, and new products and services for customers in distress. This session will enable delegates to purposefully attract, meaningfully retain, and thoughtfully serve customers by advancing market segmentation through the following impactful capabilities:

1) Identify a strategic decision that would benefit from information about different customer segments.

2) Determine which customers drive profits.

We’ll look at the core processes in Finance: record-to-report and financial planning and analysis to explain what’s changing, what can be automated, and how to deliver real-time insights from a common data model.

We’ll also look at what stopped many organizations in the past, whether this was fragmented accounting systems feeding into huge data warehouses, fragmented accounting structures that grew with each acquisition, or 500 spreadsheets held together by an ERP system. Now we have one giant pivot table, the universal journal, a quest for common accounting structures that support business steering across the organization but offer the freedom to meet local legal requirements, and the move to capture information where it happens from different perspectives.

Financial Services firms are in a period of extraordinary flux and their Operations are at the crossroads of all the change.  If managing the delicate balance of cost, risk, regulations, client satisfaction, and revenue enablement weren’t challenging enough, Operations now has to ensure safe passage for the firm’s very many transformation efforts:  Digitization, Client Experience Innovation, and Fintech integration to name a few. 

Most recently, Operations has played a key role in the pandemic response by quickly pivoting to fully virtualized work and shifting work rapidly between locations to ensure that businesses are able to continue operating despite incredible market volatility.  And, there’s no end in sight - the pace of change from an exponential world only promises increase. 

As such, Operation Excellence in Financial Services is becoming synonymous with Operational Agility.  It’s clear that firms that react, respond, adapt quickly, and are able to nimbly manage continuous transformation will be winners in this new environment.  So the key question for Operations Excellence becomes:  how to create Operation Agility?

The Top 4 Rules of Engagement for Digital Transformation thru Human-Centered Design
Watch On-Demand

As many companies grapple with the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it also presents an opportune time to actively address the human side of operational excellence in today’s workplaces and virtual environments.  Many businesses are faced with introducing new standards, strategic policies, and government mandates. In the quest to operate and deliver value to customers, at the very core of this cultural shift is human-centered design.

Even though digital transformation may look different for every company, industry, or new sector of innovation; essentially, the future of work starts at the intersection of 4 distinct rules of engagement that include: 1) diversity & inclusion, 2) ethics and awareness, 3) trust and safety, and 4) accessibility.

The CyberXR Coalition launched industry-wide standards that introduced a unique approach to help organizations successfully integrate digital technology into their areas of business. Our guide provided best practices and adoption-ready processes to help businesses reimagine the “new normal” of better leveraging digital transformations. 

This session will discuss:
  • Introducing human-centric design as the “new normal” of interoperability
  • Successfully implementing novel, industry-wide standards, and processes
  • Shifting current mindsets to a “continuous improvement” mindset
  • Assessing and addressing social and technical biases in digital technology
  • Operational excellence as a values-based systems approach

Efficiency, Visualization, and Change Management: Beyond Spreadsheets
Watch On-Demand

The presentation will focus on two digital transformation case studies at Metrolinx where the first case study will provide an overview of the Operations division’s journey of moving from a paper shift sign-up process to a digitized and automated online platform for a workforce of ~ 800 employees located across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The initiative was a success despite the various challenges such as opposition to change by the unionized workforce. This accomplishment was possible due to the change management efforts from the project team including detailed process review & gap analysis, extensive stakeholder engagement and training, proactive communication to users and continuous improvement efforts.

The second case study will provide an overview of how a similar change management approach was applied to develop and create streamlined data visualizations known as the 5 Year Resource Plan for the Capital Projects Group (CPG) in Metrolinx, which is delivering the one of the largest Transit Infrastructure projects through Public Private Partnerships.  This initiative was an astounding success with the Senior Management Team and Board of Directors as it provided insights and transparency into the various stages of the hiring process on an online platform which previously was not possible due to the use of spreadsheets and outdated processes. As a result of this transformation, key performance indicators aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives can be created and actively monitored to assess the division’s performance. This is only the first step in digitizing resource management in CPG as business intelligence tools and process improvements will continue to shape and transform the future for Metrolinx.

Key Takeaways:

  • Importance of detailed process review and gap analysis
  • The role of KPI creation and monitoring
  • Data integrity
  • Importance of relevant training

Process-led Digitalization – Reliable and Effective Value Realization
Watch On-Demand

Most companies have started their digital transformation or at least plan for it. However, an industry study shows that only 1% of organizations have their processes sufficiently under control to realize the full potential of digital solutions.

Companies struggle to operationalize their business strategy and aligning their digitalization properly. The value-realization of digital initiatives is often too slow or business expectations are not met. An appropriate process management discipline addresses those challenges. It optimizes the time-to-value.

The presentation discusses a process-led approach to digital transformation to accelerate the time-to-value and minimize risk. The findings are illustrated through examples from insurance, health, and high-tech companies.

Key topics to be addressed:

  • Process-led prioritization
  • Focused process analysis as basis for a realistic business case
  • Leveraging software-based process reference models for rapid and effective design
  • Pragmatic evaluation of improvement opportunities through a simple simulation
  • Sustaining results through process governance and tools, such as process mining

Pushing RPA to the next level with Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
Watch On-Demand

RPA can build solutions for financial transactions to train a Machine Learning model that directscorrective actions to robot workers. By combining an ideal mix of bots and humans working in tandem,significant improvement in process efficiency at much lower costs can be achieved. The AI-based models will be built upon financial data sets and recommend corrective actions in order to improve financial management.

AI-enabled robotic process automation capabilities will address financial system errors.  Currently, RPA, however, is unable to handle unmatched transactions, which are those where the invoice number, amount, method of payment or any number of details cannot be reconciled. It can take humans anywhere from a day to months to track down and resolve these unmatched transactions, adding up to billions of dollars in unresolved financial activity. If the models are successful, they will not only save time and money, but they will help increase financial compliance and get a better idea how itsdollars are being spent

  • Build intelligent tools to spot and fix accounting errors without the assistance of humans.
  • Develop artificial intelligence/machine learning models that can go beyond the capabilities of robotic process automation and make decisions about financial transactions.
  • The new automated ML models would “be able take irregular, complex financial informationand data, make decisions and apply judgments and solutions to a high level of accuracy or confidence without having to have a human in the loop.
  • Models will first learn to categorize unmatched transactions as either simple or complex.

Unlocking Human Potential with Automation in the Post-Pandemic World
Watch On-Demand

The impact of the global pandemic in 2020 caused organizations to make dramatic changes to their operating models to support remote work while also ensuring business continuity.  These changes were largely fueled by IT and automation initiatives, and in many cases were implemented in record time to meet the needs of a rapidly changing environment.  Analysts predict the momentum from 2020’s IT and business transformation initiatives to carry forward and we’ll see a similar, if not enhanced pace in the coming years.

This continued focus on automation will have an impact on the job market.  By 2025 the World Economic Forum anticipates ‘the time spent on current tasks at work by humans and machines will be equal.’  However, most analysts agree that new jobs created because of automation will outpace jobs lost.  In tandem to these automation goals is an accelerated focus on upskilling and reskilling of employees. 

In this session we’ll explore how organizations in both the public and private sectors are using the momentum created in 2020 to redefine the workplace by unlocking human potential with automation in the post-pandemic world.

Strategy execution for the agile enterprise – be a digital business faster
Watch On-Demand

IT executives have the mandate to ensure digital transformation happens – fast. They know agility is core to digital business success and are implementing Agile approaches such as SAFe, Scrum, Kanban and DevOps to enable IT to deliver products in ever shorter release cycles.

However, IT executives in large organizations are finding it difficult to keep agile development in line with the overall direction,plans and strategy of the organization. There needs to be a bi-lateral exchange between strategists and Lean product managers or there will be a cleft between how digital strategy is defined and what development teams work on. If not addressed, the cleft grows larger leading to poor Agile execution and uninformed decisions on strategy.

Speed-to-market is hampered, digital transformation loses intensity and sustainability, customer desires aren’t fulfilled and the company’s competitive edge is lost. Strategic portfolio management (SPM) integrates strategy management with Lean portfolio management and the feature portfolio on a collaborative platform so that all involved stakeholders see one source of truth and perform their planning and operational activities in the context of the (changing) business strategy.

Become indispensable: Strengthen your EA practice by producing valuable business outcomes
Watch On-Demand

Organizations have spent the past years focusing on efficiency, which meant when hit with a major disruption like COVID-19, many business processes were too brittle to quickly adapt and simply broke.  During the rebuilding process, Gartner indicates that leaders must design an architecture that: enables better access to information; can augment that information with new insights; and is composable, modular, and can change and respond more quickly as decisions are made. 

But how do you do that?  A good first step is to add a business architecture top layer to your enterprise architecture efforts.  Using this lens, you can connect IT to business objectives (ensuring your efforts are business-outcome-driven) and therefore easily changeable when business objectives evolve or change.

In this session you will learn how to:

  • Create a strategic roadmap where you can plan future business capabilities and other IT investments
  • Understand how emerging technology can be leveraged to support business objectives
  • Optimize your current IT portfolio for cost, lifecycle, and agility

Enterprise Architecture: A Key to Unlocking the Value of Acquisitions
Watch On-Demand

In the digital era, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) can be especially rife with challenges. But with a relentless focus on using enterprise architecture (EA) to catalyze acquisitions, we can mitigate the challenges. In this webinar, the presenters look at the problem of acquisitive growth and reveal how advances in EA practices not only overcome obstacles, but also enable value creation.

Toppenberg and Henningsson, coauthors of Architecting Growth in the Digital Era, take you through a few case studies of Fortune 500 companies that grew through acquisition. They look at how these organizations were able to unlock value through the lens of the M&A leader, and also from the perspective of the EA professional. You’ll discover how EA catalyzed the acquisitions these companies made.

In this presentation, you’ll:

  • Discover how EA can unlock the value potential of acquisitions without inducing long-term issues that will eventually force the acquirer to undertake a major organizational restructure.
  • Learn how you can use EA during the different phases of an acquisition, including how to set up the company in preparation for an acquisition to avoid problems
  • Learn how to draw on EA to orchestrate the strategic transformation that acquisitions entail in a way that reduces time-to-synergies and leaves fewer remaining issues to deal with after the dust has settled.

From Change Sponsors to Agents of Change - Leading a Re-imagined People-first Transformation
Watch On-Demand

To remain competitive in the current business climate and ever-evolving stream of customer needs, we are being asked to do more and change faster than ever before.

Traditionally, business optimization and transformation are initiated from a business-first mindset, with senior leadership defining desired business outcomes and timelines. But, people are the ones who need to make the changes.  And people have a change saturation limit. If that limit isn’t recognized or dealt with properly, it can be crippling for the program – and for the people impacted.

Too often, change management is not even considered until business implementations show signs of serious failure. Business transformations rarely achieve their full benefit.  This is often a result of the role leaders play in the change, plus the cultural hurdles that are only considered once projects are underway.

During this session, we’ll look at:

  • What it looks like when people are considered from the formative stages of transformation strategy.
  • What active and visible sponsorship of change really means for organizational leaders – making them effective agents of change.
  • How to effectively support your teams as a change manager.

3DThinking™. Going ‘inside the box’ to Manage Innovation and Transformation Shifts
Watch On-Demand

3D Thinking™ nurtures the concept of going ‘inside the box’ to tackle your challenges.

3D Thinking™ generates dimensional thinking for product and services development to produce something that has value, did not exist before, or used in a new way.

3D Thinking™ will facilitate a ‘shift’ in how you think, not what you think.

3D Thinking™ uses real world examples such as: "what were you thinking when you purchased an entire railroad box car filled with spaghetti sauce?"

The problem is ‘inside the box; not outside of it. Learn new ideas that willhelp create a better value proposition and set a higher price by synthesizing new insights and wisdom.

It will address

  • What do we know?
  • What do they need or want?
  • What will they pay for your solutions?

Your audience isn’t a monolith, so your products, services, and solutions shouldn’t be either. And with product and brand proliferation the consumer is begging for really innovative solutions to their perceived needs and problems. If you aren’t RE-INNOVATING, chances are you’ve dropped into the “price barrel” along with all the other “me too” products and services.

Conversations with plain talk for smart people will be punctuated with licensed movie and television scenes, ‘out of the box’ problems i.e.

What do you, as a college student, when you acquire a box car loaded with Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce?

  • How do you put a sign on a building when the city prohibits it?
  • How do you offer the most requested incentive requested by used car salesmen, a Rolex Submariner, when Toyota doesn’t have the budget to provide them?
  • And the answer to what I did, as a law student, when I aquired a box car loaded with Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce?

These and other real-world case studies will challenge creative problem- solving skills and reveal ‘inside the box’ solutions that become evident when 3D Thinking inspires greater awareness of overlooked connections between actions and consequences.

Key Takeaways:

Attendees will leave with an enhanced skill that will help find effective solutions to their most complicated business problems.

Attendees will be shown the 3D Thinking techniques to…

  • Detect new opportunities using existing resources.
  • Discover your components.
  • Determine applications to product, process, marketing, and management innovative problem solving.
  • Develop, test and market.
  • Distinguish opportunities from distractions.
  • Deliver more persuasive presentations

The Document is Dead – How Digital Blueprints Radically Accelerate and Scale the Design & Delivery of Process Automation
Watch On-Demand

Going from a handful of bots to an enterprise-wide intelligent automation strategy is no mean-feat, and the global pandemic has only fast-tracked the priority placed on process automation.

However, most organizations are still struggling to speed up and scale their RPA efforts because they’re stuck using slow, archaic, and error-prone methods – aka manual documentation - to design and communicate automated processes.

Discover what’s possible when you ditch your documents (PDDs, SDDs, etc) and embrace Digital Blueprints - a radically different (and better) way of designing and communicating processes for automation. By using Digital Blueprints, enterprise organizations can significantly accelerate RPA delivery, improve process quality, and reduce the ongoing maintenance of automated processes.

In this session you’ll learn:

  • How and why documents are the biggest blindspot preventing you from scaling RPA
  • What a Digital Blueprint is and how it can be used to dramatically improve andaccelerate process design from the ground up to power an enterprise-wide intelligent automation strategy
  • How to quickly build Digital Blueprints using dynamic and autonomous process design (think auto-complete) and automated build capabilities, and then sync your Digital Blueprints into your RPA tool of choice for development
  • Case Study: How one Fortune 500 Health Insurance organization is leveraging Digital Blueprints to successfully deliver higher-quality automations in a fraction of the time it took with documents

Human Connectivity: The Missing Ingredient in Digital Transformation
Watch On-Demand

The last decade saw data become an indispensable asset to leading firms across industries. But, despite trends in increasing data investments over the last few years, firms aren’t reaping these benefits–a mere 29 percent report that data yielded valuable, actionable insights, according to a survey by Forrester. The value of Artificial Intelligence (AI) investments hinges on the way firms analyze, understand, and implement insights generated from data and AI.

Why is it so hard for firms to connect data to action? An incomplete picture. Humans, machines, data and AI must all be connected. Implementing a network of machine-generated data from a company’s major assets combined with a system of people-based feedback is vital. Not only should both executives and workers be tuned into all the hardware of their enterprise, but insights generated from data and AI must be clearly communicated to workers on every level. 

Data and AI will not improve a company on its own. Human judgment, understanding, and intervention are critical to driving the strategic change made apparent by data and AI investments. Through the power of digital and human connectivity, organizations get the luxury of preparation--not the chaos of surprise.

  • Discover why most change management efforts fail--and what you can do differently
  • Learn best practices around integrating IoT sensor-generated data with people-generated insights to get a full view of your organization
  • Create a “listening architecture” by capturing, integrating, routing and analyzing data from your organization’s most valuable resources to identify opportunities to enhance processes, reduce inefficiencies, and improve outcomes

Project to Product: Driving Digital Transformation Insights with the Flow Framework
Watch On-Demand

In many enterprises, digital transformations are starting to get board level visibility as the need to become a software innovator becomes critical to company survival and success. But how many of these transformations are on track in terms of producing the results that the business is expecting? How many of these organizations are tracking the results of these transformations, rather than just the activities, such as training and tool deployments? The fundamental problem is that the way these transformations are structured has a very different meaning to the technology side than it does to the business. Key concepts that should be shared by both sides, such as technical debt, are not part of the common language. It is these disconnects that cause large-scale transformations to fall off the rails.

In this talk, Dr. Mik Kersten will summarize his best selling book, Project to Product, by presenting the historical context of the technological revolutions and providing advice to business leaders to help organizations thrive beyond the turning point.

Exploring the role of Organizational Competencies in Information Technology Outsourcing: A Holistic Case Study on Decision-making for Outsourcing of Cloud-based Services
Watch On-Demand

Explore the decision-making process and particularly the criteria used by executive decision-makers for identifying and selecting organizational competencies when engaging in ITO for cloud-based services.

Executive decision-makers are not always able to anticipate and fully understand the implications of their ITO decisions for the long-term processes, capabilities, and performance of the organization.

Executive decision-makers face difficulties distinguishing between organizational core and noncore activities and competencies, and find it problematic to identify an outsourcing provider (vendor) with suitable resources, competencies, and capabilities as well as to establish an effective outsourcing agreement or relationship.

Although extensive research exists on ITO decision-making, there is limited research specific to ITO decisions for cloud-based services and implications for the long-term processes, capabilities, and performance of organizations.

Takeaways include:

  • The selection of organizational competencies to target for ITO for cloud-based services is based on the need to fulfill application, security, regulatory, or compliance requirements; to fill a gap; and/or to increase capabilities not found within the organization.
  • Organizational competencies selected to outsource to the cloud are not core to the business, and are identified through a process of either intuitively understanding the gap or using the expertise of an external vendor.
  • Decision models used for selecting organizational competencies for ITO for cloud-based services include a combination of formal decision models and common sense or intuition.
  • Redeploying internal resources to develop new products and services and to increase speed to market is a key outcome anticipated from ITO for cloud-based services.
  • There is a need to create contingencies for cloud-based outsourcing solutions, though those contingency plans vary based on the ITO strategy. 
  • Security and risk management oversight to protect sensitive data and to ensure data privacy and security when engaging in ITO using cloud-based services is important.

Building the Workforce of the Future to Achieve Excellence
Watch On-Demand

Real-time feedback has the power to drive employee excellence across an organization. During this session, Patrick Law, Vice President, Client Operations for Card Services at Fiserv, will:

  • Outline the unique benefits of real-time feedback
  • Describe how real-time feedback helps Fiserv associates achieve excellence and deliver superior value to clients, and
  • Provide recommendations to organizations that would like to implement real-time feedback programs.

In many organizations, feedback is collected and delivered infrequently. Employees typically receive formal feedback once a year, during an annual performance review. These reviewsoften cover generalized comments on an employee’s performance but lack the constructive specificity that empowers employee growth. Moreover, many organizations administer point-in-time surveys to gather client input. The results provide vague, backward looking sentiments,often too late to act on them.

Real-time feedback offers an impactful alternative to the annual performance review and traditional client surveys. For employees, real-time feedback offers constructive, in-the-moment,micro-feedback on behaviors aligned to critical business processes. For clients, real-time feedback offers an always-on, direct voice to deliver actionable insights on services and operations. When delivered well, real-time feedback helps employees improve and deliver on key performance metrics. Fiserv has built a client-experience focused culture to deliver excellence and drive results for our clients.

Learning Outcomes: Attendees who attend this session will gain the following insights:

  • Learn how to develop a productive feedback culture to drive bottom-line results
  • Assess the differences between a traditional performance review and legacy client survey instruments, and real-time feedback
  • Organizational benefits of a real-time feedback program
  • Best practices for implementing and leading an impactful real-time feedback program
  • Understand how to build digital leadership muscle across the organization

Leaders Transforming Health Care: Activating Operational Excellence though Trust and Change Management
Watch On-Demand

Introduction: Operational excellence in healthcare is defined as delivering improvements in care quality and safety by the everyday, ongoing use of continuous improvement techniques that are driven and owned by staff.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its overwhelming impact on hospitals and healthcare workers have led to the deferment and postponement of many improvement efforts, which is understandable.

In addition, we know that disasters tend to exacerbate system weaknesses that already exist. So, what steps can healthcare leaders take to activate operational excellence? Establishing trust, demonstrating leadership commitment to these continuous improvement efforts and change management practices and tools can lead the way to activating operational excellence. While there are additional significant High Reliability Organizations (HRO) principles and actions leaders can take, this session will focus on 2 of the fundamental actions of trust and change management.

Healthcare organizations that have adopted the elements of establishing trust and change management in their process improvement efforts, have benefitted from the resilience of an empowered staff. Thus, building the capacity and capability to continue to activate and support operational excellence in challenging times. The session topics include 3 high level steps that leaders can take toward activating operational excellence.

Topics:

1. Understand the Center for Transforming Healthcare’s High Reliability Model

2. The senior leader’s behaviors and roles in leading and supporting operational excellence

3. Establishing trust and change management in leading organizational and cultural transformation

Adapt to change quickly and transform your business to win
Watch On-Demand

Organizations deal with continuous shifting, change in the past few years has been happening more frequently than ever before in history. Driven by many factors such as technology, politics, globalization and health crisis, many companies have not been able to catch up fast enough to adapt to the frequent and wide changes in the market place.

While many organizations feel that “change” is a threat, others that generally succeed feel that change brings opportunities to find areas to improve products, services, technologies, people, and processes to realize sustainable competitive advantage. Changing for the sake of change is meaningless without a defined brighter future. In recent years many businesses have focused on transforming and optimizing their operations.

However, many efforts fail because of one or more of the following three pillars do not get the proper attention from the leadership: Strategy, Project Management, Change Management. It is a three-legged stool as those three elements must all be addressed to find the right balance and ensure organizations are able to deliver their objectives while addressing any constraints they may have.

  • Embrace change but changing for the sake of change is meaningless without a defined brighter future
  • Develop an action-oriented mindset and adopt a customer-centric approach while leveraging proven technology
  • Enable a healthy culture
  • Exploit market disruption and cope with catastrophic events
  • Transform businesses and deliver positive results

Financing the Green Economy to Minimize the Impact of Climate Change
Watch On-Demand

According to the International Energy Agency, carbon-based electricity generation contributed over 30% of total global greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, by far the largest source of global GHG emission. To minimize the impact of climate change and meet the Paris Agreement's goal to limit the increase in global warming to 2°C, Morgan Stanley Research estimates that the world needs to spend US$50 trillion over the next 30 years in clean energy and technology. The International Renewable Energy Agency forecasts that US$750 billion a year is needed in renewables alone over the next decade.

The question on the minds of many investors is not whether to join in this growth, but how to channel capital into wind, solar, hydro-electric, bioenergy, energy efficiency and geothermal projects to help slow and mitigate climate change. RE Royalties represents an exciting opportunity for socially and environmentally conscious investors, who want to make sure their dollars are going towards protecting and restoring the environment.

RE Royalties’ innovative royalty financing model is well proven in other industries, but we are the first to apply it to the renewable energy sector on a global scale. Sourcing financial capital for renewable energy leaders is a crucial issue for new projects that want to get off the ground quickly to take climate action. A small, or start-up company can rarely source capital by borrowing from a commercial bank, and accessing capital is the biggest hurdle to getting renewable energy projects built.

The projects that RE Royalties invest in are helping to solve the world’s climate issues and create a more sustainable economy. RE Royalties helps their clients by taking a unique approach with the royalty-financing model to fill a gap in the renewable energy finance market.

Outcomes:

Renewables produce energy by harnessing the energy created by the sun, wind, or water, making them an indispensable ally in the fight against climate change. If we truly want to build a more sustainable energy future, then we need to ensure that renewable energy entrepreneurs have access to the capital they need to get their projects off the ground.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:

  • How you can get project financing for your renewable energy project.
  • How you can invest in the growing renewable energy market.

  • Outline the unique benefits of real-time feedback
  • Describe how real-time feedback helps Fiserv associates achieve excellence and deliversuperior value to clients, and
  • Provide recommendations to organizations that would like to implement real-time feedback programs.

In many organizations, feedback is collected and delivered infrequently. Employees typicallyreceive formal feedback once a year, during an annual performance review. These reviewsoften cover generalized comments on an employee’s performance but lack the constructivespecificity that empowers employee growth. Moreover, many organizations administer point-in-time surveys to gather client input. The results provide vague, backward looking sentiments,often too late to act on them.

Real-time feedback offers an impactful alternative to the annual performance review andtraditional client surveys. For employees, real-time feedback offers constructive, in-the-moment,micro-feedback on behaviors aligned to critical business processes. For clients, real-timefeedback offers an always-on, direct voice to deliver actionable insights on services andoperations. When delivered well, real-time feedback helps employees improve and deliver onkey performance metrics. Fiserv has built a client-experience focused culture to deliverexcellence and drive results for our clients.

Learning Outcomes: Attendees who attend this session will gain the following insights:

  • Learn how to develop a productive feedback culture to drive bottom-line results
  • Assess the differences between a traditional performance review and legacy clientsurvey instruments, and real-time feedback
  • Organizational benefits of a real-time feedback program
  • Best practices for implementing and leading an impactful real-time feedback program

Process-led Digital Transformation: From Priority to Value
Watch On-Demand

Abstract:

Many digital transformation initiatives only deliver a fraction of the potential business value. Enabling technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Low-code Platforms or Analytics tools set high expectations but don’t really deliver what they promised. Business and IT struggle to agree on a joint business case. A process-led approach to digital transformation helps to set the right priorities, define a realistic business case and realize the anticipated business outcomes.

This presentation discusses a focused and effective approach to digital transformation using business process management to move from strategy to operations. Attendees will learn how to:

-       Set strategy-based priorities pragmatically

-       Improve rapidly and effectively leveraging the right digital technologies

-       Adjust dynamically

-       Realize and sustain value

The digital transformation approach is explained leveraging case studies, mainly from insurance, health and technology companies.

Efficiency without sacrificing efficacy: The Three Economies Model
Watch On-Demand

Current ways of thinking about software development tend to suggest a (false) dichotomy between Development and Operations. Many organizations are trapped in a pattern that imagines you can either be efficient or effective. However, if efficiency and effectiveness are considered mutually exclusive (that is, you cannot drive both at the same time), it is extremely difficult to drive differentiation and therefore, unique competitive advantage. So how do you accelerate differentiation, while creating resilience and driving scale? The problem isn’t choosing between these initial logics, but instead expanding the way we understand IT works with a third economy: scope.

During this session, Jabe Bloom from Red Hat’s Global Transformation Office will discuss the Three Economies model. Through the three economies - differentiation, scale, and scope - this efficiency and effectiveness paradox needn’t be paradoxical. Organizations can pursue both forms of value (differentiation and scale), by extending their economic decision making to include a third way of thinking about value (scope). You’ll walk away with an understanding of how to adopt the Three Economies model in order to transform your organization.

Human Connectivity: The Missing Ingredient in Digital Transformation
Watch On-Demand

Long-lasting, impactful digital transformation requires an acute knowledge of the people,processes, and systems that comprise your organization. Successful digital transformation necessitates understanding how your tangible assets -equipment, machinery, and facilities - operate to deliver value.

It requires active participation and behavior change from people at all levels of an organization. This level of stakeholder engagement provides leaders with the insight and perspective needed to see what their specific organization needs -- not just what’s been done before.However, achieving this level of integrated engagement at scale can seem difficult, if not almost impossible. Asset data comes from multiple sources.

It takes time to integrate and analyze what’shappening. But swift decision-making and evaluation requires a solution that provides real-time,integrated insight into asset performance and location. And on people engagement, surveys provide snapshot-in-time perspectives, but lack specificity and real-time input. How can leaders collect and organize input from hundreds, even thousands, of stakeholders? More than that, how can they assess sentiment, extract meaningful insights, and use this information to make decisions?

This interactive presentation will provide Digital Transformation leaders with strategies and practical tools to engage people in change initiatives, lead positive behavior change to accompany technology implementation, and ultimately, drive successful transformation across their organizations.

● Better define opportunities for digital transformation by collecting input from the peopleclosest to the processes that need to change.

● Ideate new, creative ways to solve your problems.

● Customize solutions according to your organization’s specific needs.

● Understand employee and client sentiment at scale.

● Drive lasting change -- technology adoption and behavioral change -- by engaging people in your transformation initiatives.

Building a business-enabling “digital backbone” requires a modern EA approach
Watch On-Demand

Meeting increasing customer & employee expectations for new data and digital products requires the need to drive innovations to market more quickly and cheaply.  Commonplace in large global organizations is the strategy for individual lines of business to feverishly yet independently pursue this goal through siloed efforts that lead to fragmentation and missed opportunities to leverage economies of scale and cross-pollination of innovative ideas. Companies with modern enterprise architecture groups are creating a digital foundation (the “digital backbone”) to meet individual business functions’ needs while accomplishing enterprise goals and digital ambitions.

In this session Gustav will share an architectural approach that combines the use-case and foundation building strategies employed by many companies to attain their data and digital ambitions.  He will share how to engage with both business and technology leaders to crate a organizational movement to build and sustain the digital backbone of the company.

Gustav has researched extensively on the topic of the Digital Backbone (https://www.cutter.com/experts/gustav-toppenberg) and as an enterprise architecture leader has implemented the concepts and strategies in his roles at BCG, Catalina, Aon and Cisco.

The focus on optimising the value chain has seen the re-birth of Lean in organisations as a mechanism for motivating a culture for improvements.

Beyond the horizon an opportunity exists for businesses to embrace a new normal. Companies need to focus on protecting their core business and minimising costs to deliver their products and/or services.

But, where do companies start? How do they know what is core or non-core in their business? And ultimately, how can they be confident that their decisions won’t compromise any competitive advantage making them worse off?

Key Takeaways

  • Understand how iBPM solutions can accelerate transforming into Lean Enterprises.
  • Learn where customer value is delivered in a business.
  • Measure how to deliver customer value with the least amount of effort.

RPAs can be used to ease the connection and interface between different technologies or between old legacy and newer systems. It is perfect to replace processes that are highly manual, rule-based, and repetitive. While this tool has proven success, they come with a big bill and lots of monitoring and validation.

While RPAs can save significant cost and time they cannot replace fully integrated systems that talk to each other without the need for a middle-channel to bend the data and translate into other forms. I will provide several examples of how we utilized RPAs to save millions of dollars and avoid significant headache. I will also list some steps I would do differently next time I implement an RPA project.

  • RPAs are fantastic, if they are done right and if the right resources/partners have been utilized
  • Significant cost and time can be saved using RPAs
  • Monitoring and validation can come with big bills
  • Next time I implement RPAs I would probably invest in resources
  • Many RPAs can last for years and can do magic
  • When translating data between different systems/technologies, RPAs are great “band-aids” that can temporary replace fully integrated systems. However, a fully integrated system should be the ultimate goal if money, resources, and time are available because the solution is native and should works seamlessly.

You are standing in a room amidst a sea of different unsolved jigsaw puzzle and a pile of loose pieces yet to be connected. Each puzzle must be solved simultaneously while new puzzle pieces are streaming into the room from all angles. 

There is no obvious indication of which piece goes with which puzzle, and you only have fractions of a second to decide where a piece may fit into every puzzle in the room and some pieces may fit into multiple puzzles. The time you have to make sense of all this, your window of opportunity, is the time it takes the customer to click a choice in a Digital property, move their eyeball to a new location of a Physical property, or the milliseconds that define a span of time for the next best action.

Now let’s think about puzzles in another different domain, security, are you safe? Who is a potential insider threat? How do you know? These are just different puzzles to solve, the unknowns are the puzzles.  How do you answer the unknown and deliver insight that is thought to be impossible? How do you do this with precision and better than your competitors?  We will introduce the basics in this discussion.

Data Analytics is the foundation of modern decision-making process It allows analyzing raw data tomake important decisions. During the recent Covid-19 virus epidemic we saw the power of analytics topredict the severity and the duration of the epidemic.

In every decision made by hospitals, medical professionals, and government used analytics to plan the response to this disease. For every busines sexecutive it is essential to understand basic principles of analytics. First, this seminar offers basic information about analytics which includes machine learning and deep learning. Next it enumerates the tools necessary for building analytics models. Analytics models are currently built using TensorFlow/Keras, Python/R software products and require asignificant amount of computing resources.

This precludes running analytics models on personal computers. Generally, they are not powerful enough. Analytics models usually run on cloud servers because they have enough computing resources. Consequently, Fortune 500 companies build analytics models on cloud servers. Cloud servers provide access to GPU (Graphics Processing Units) and TPU (Tensor Processing Units).

These processors can execute trillions of floating instructions per second. Due to parallel processor architecture built in GPU and TPU, they are ideal for matrix multiplication operations—the most frequently used operation in analytics models. The 3 most popular cloud services are AWS (Amazon Web Services), GCP (Google Cloud Platform), and Azure from Microsoft. Cloud servers provide general computing service in three “flavors” –Infrastructure, Platform, and Software.

They also provide the services uniquely necessary for analyticsprojects. This seminar will examine these cloud services in detail. A comparison of them will be explored from theperspective of which cloud service is better suited for analytics models. Next, the seminar will focus onhow to set up cloud servers for analytics projects.

RPA teams are often challenged by the limitation of the existing RPA toolset, in being unable to automate knowledge based tasks. Many RPA products have incorporated the magic terms “AI” or “Analytics”, however on closer examination, one quickly finds that most solutions are either too narrow or there is misrepresentation of AI/ML capabilities.

In 2017, our RPA CoE at Nokia, set out to create a general solution for Nokia RPA 2.0, which would integrate Nokia’s AI/Analytics platform (used as “Brains”) & RPA technology (used as “Hands”) and bring in the capability of automating judgement driven complex processes. We selected this use-case as our pilot as it had the required cognitive complexity to necessitate use of deep-learning algorithms, sufficient volumes to produce a viable business case & was scalable across multiple customers.

This session will summarize this story of conceptualizing, implementing, improving and achieving success, including lessons learnt during this journey.

Key Takeaways

  • How to visualize and set-up a general solution for RPA augmented with AI/ML algorithms
  • Business case set-up & managing organization’s expectations/response – what is unique for such systems
  • Nuances and operational challenges of implementing such systems
  • Outlook for such systems

Many enterprises are pursuing automation initiatives across BPM, RPA and AI. The underlying strategic goal behind these automation projects is Digital transformation that will help deliver operational efficiencies and competitive advantages for the firm. Unfortunately, most enterprises don’t realize that silo automation efforts can create technology debt or short lived efficiencies when they don’t address the underlying processes and prepare the process for digital target state before applying technologies.

The concept of hyper-automation highlights the value of holistic automation across tasks, processes, data, content, collaboration and conversations with a repeatable approach to managing automation projects from idea to delivery.

This presentation will address key concepts, methodology and best practices involved in establishing enterprise automation programs built on the foundation of process excellence
