Perubahan tidak perlu datang dari atas, namun perubahan akan terlihat besar jika di-drive dari atas terutama untuk transformasi digital

  • Information Technology it’s expensive because the value is absolute
    • The valuation it’s always gradually increases because the people are enhancing and the system itself growing
    • Upgrading the system is inevitable and can’t be avoided — the difference is all about timing when going to upgrade → the problem is, it’s difficult to accurately predict when going to upgrade
  • Understanding the goals and the most critical functions → need to be looked at based on tangible vs intangible aspects → all of these things need explanation in detail and always ask “Why”, “Why”, and “Why”
    • dollar cost, dollar savings
  • There are a few things that we can use if we want to discuss with a non-tech executive person
    • Understanding the critical functions start with the availability (conceptualization about the system availability)
    • performance and tuning
    • capacity planning (foresee in next 1-2 years)
    • storage management
    • security management
    • cost estimation, several things that we probably forgot about this are: recruitment, scheduled outages
  • Benefit estimation → ability to predict
  • What are we doing with all these things?
    • Understanding the goal, getting alignment between company needs or goals
    • estimate all things: from costs, benefits, and numbers and get supported through recommendation
  • Every leader or executive has different nature when they manage their works
  • Aligning IT with business strategy and executives and how are we going to influence them by:
    • education and communication
    • involvement of IT executives
