Based on a true story, the film tells of the courageous men and women who risk their lives every working day, pitting their fishing boats and rescue vessels against the capricious forces of nature. Their worst fears are realized at sea on Halloween of 1991, when they are confronted by three raging weather fronts which unexpectedly collide to produce the greatest, fiercest storm in modern history -- "The Perfect Storm." – Source: imdb, 2000
THE “PERFECT STORM”...

Since latest “Global Recession” in 2008, the world has just started to experience the real growth again
OECD as a sample
A “7 years” journey
Many companies suffered
Some went out of business
Some survived
Was it a “Typical” recession?
THE “PERFECT STORM” IN THE INDUSTRY-1
© Copyright Software Engineering Competence Center 2015
Of course, not. It was an “Up-normal Recession” that had never accrued in the recorded/unrecorded history
Egypt as a specific case
A “Triple-Dip” recession
5 years of unpredictability
Changing business landscape
Social changes
There were more than a “Signal Force” in this perfect storm
THE “PERFECT STORM” IN THE INDUSTRY-2
© Copyright Software Engineering Competence Center 2015
It was not a single force as in previous recessions during the past 100 years, it was a “Special Type” and will change “All” industries forever
Reduced opportunities
Severe competition
The way we do business ended
Innovation became the KSF
Customers became innovative too
This was a “Three-Forces” recession
THE “PERFECT STORM” IN THE INDUSTRY-3
© Copyright Software Engineering Competence Center 2015
To survive, you need to take care of these coincident “Disruptive Forces/Waves”
1st Force: Unpredictable economy
2nd Force: The (e)-of Everything
3rd Force: Customer Digital Power
Synergy is a reinforcing loop
Disruption is here to stay
Your business needs reshaping to be able to “Surf” these disruptive waves or the: “IT Business’s Perfect Storm”?
THE “PERFECT STORM” ANALYTICS…

Nokia’s revenue loses were faster than its ability to either cut costs or even innovate
Sales decreased after 2008
(Un)-innovative by design
Rejected “Android” in early 2011
Ignored “Smart Phones” Wave
2011 was a disaster
Nokia was hit by the “Perfect Storm” and the result was
FIRMS HIT BY THE “PERFECT STORM”…

Even the suggested strategies for Nokia, were too risky. These are the “Greatest Sins”
Cost reduction
Downsizing
Restructure
Increasing Internal Controls
Starting a new (failed) initiative
Using the brakes on an oily land is usually your “Last Action”
THE GREATEST SINS IN CRISIS TIMES…
© Copyright Software Engineering Competence Center 2015
You need to transfer your business into an “Agile Business” or more precisely “Agile Digital Business”
You need to start early
Anticipate upcoming waves
At least, react wisely
Transform Your Business
Being “Agile”, and “Digital”, enables you to “Surf Waves”
THE SMART STRATEGY…

This is how “Apple” has giving you an “Agile Digital Business”
BUSINESS AGILITY IN A NUTSHELL…
© Copyright Software Engineering Competence Center 2015
Your start point should not be where you are now as all paths will be similar, start from the “Desired End”, but “Innovatively”
Think different & abstract
Return to basic elements
Answer basic questions
But, differently….
Innovation and agility should start from the “Business Model”, and with a “Long-Term Strategic” horizon in mind
A VISION TO SURVIVE…

Business model is the start, “Strategy” is how you tackle the battle inside the storm and “Capabilities” are your weapons and aids
Abstract model is the start
Formulate a strategy
Focus on capabilities
Then, architecting…
The “Enterprise Architecture” is the detailed design of your “Business Model”, that realizes the “Capability Based Strategy”

Elaborating the business model strategically can give you a better vivid view of the required “Business Capabilities” to survive
Going back to basic questions
Think different & innovate
Group desired capabilities
And, be strategic…
This is what we can call a “Business Architecture”

“Digital Business” depends on a solid and “Capable” “Information System Architecture” and a reliable “Technology Architecture”
Business transformation is a need
Digital agility is the destination
The means are:
…Data, Applications & Technologies
This is the “Digital Business Transformation”

Strategizing is about “Orchestrating” and “Timing”
Each box can be a “Capability” or a “Project To Achieve One”

People have short memory span and the business environment has different and conflicting “Interests”
We start with big hopes
Deviate slightly in the beginning
Deviations increase later
Results may become disasters
Using an “Architecture Governance” mechanism is not optional
AVOID THE BIGGEST TRAP…

A close, and effective, monitoring to “Architecting Outputs” and “Projects Performance” is needed
Start from the roadmap
Build or outsource projects
Proactively track performance
Intervene in a timely manner
Use heat maps to monitor “Value”, “Risk” & “Budget” in real time
STEERING THE MIGRATION…

To go through this long journey, you need guidance. “The Open Group Architecture Framework-TOGAF” is one of the most famous frameworks
We started with a vision
Designed “Business Architecture”
Designed “Digital Business”
Steered the migration
Managed changes (the final part)
Of course, you need preparations first
And, this is the “Architecture Development Method” in TOGAF
HAVE YOU NOTICED THE PROCESS?

Strategizing is about achieving the right balance between “Orientation” and “Animation”, as well as continuous “Organizing”
There are (4) major concerns
So, we need (4) major groups
Integration is a KSF
Motivation is the
