Strategic Objectives Example - 1 of 6
Information Systems Objectives :
Implement solutions in partnership with the business units. Champion each project ( business-requested project, not infrastructure projects) by business management to ensure that business issues drive technical solutions.
Contd...
Align Information Systems projects and priorities with business priorities and direction. Likewise, the strategic direction of the company will determine the strategic direction of Information Systems. Provide responsiveness and flexibility to address changing business requirements rather than simply utilizing technology. Meet External customer requirements and assist in solving our customers’ business issues. Maximize productivity and reduce costs throughout the business Provide Real information for business decisions (as opposed to endless amounts of data). Information must be available anytime(24 hour access), anywhere in the world, in any way (flexible formats), for any one (with security). Support worldwide information requirements and business objectives.
Contd...
Minimize Information Systems investments through the use of standardized hardware and packaged software, whenever possible. This will minimize support requirements and provide for maximum growth and flexibility to take advantage of the future industry developments. Minimize risk to the company by utilization of proven, yet not out-of-date, technology. Educate the users and maximize their ability , through tools and training, to get information without dependence on Information Systems and utilize new capabilities and leading technology in providing a competitive advantage for the business Balance Information Systems resources and expenditures with the business demands and the return on investment ( ROI ) to the business
Information Systems Strategies 2 of 6

FOUR APPROACHES TO INNOVATION
INNOVATION STRATEGY Recruiting and Retaining Superior Human Capital UPSIDES • Better control of IP • Long-term growth focus • Difficult for competitors to imitate • Internationalization of skills and capabilities • Full capture of returns DOWNSIDES • Organic growth is slower • Challenge of identifying and valuing superior human capital • Full risk exposure • Long time horizon • Uncertain returns SOME EXEMPLAR COMPANIES • Goldman Sachs • Google • Merck • Research In Motion • Southwest Airlines • W.L. Gore • Apple • BMW • Hewlett-Packard REQUIREMENTS • Astute strategic human resource management • Organizational flexibility
• Shared risk • Multiple, smallscale investments provide strategic options • Faster than internal development
• Faster than growing organically • Acquire innovative technologies become competitors
• Potential loss of IP controls • Challenge of alignment of goals • Shared returns
• IBM • Eli Lilly • Oracle • Procter & Gamble
• Dedicated function for the management of partnerships
Acquisitions
• Risk of overpaying • Cultural integration concerns • Involves relying on others for innovation
• Cisco • General Electric • Pfizer • Microsoft
• Capability to identify and assimilate acquisition targets

THE IO MODEL (1 of 2)
Information Orientation (IO) Measures the capabilities of a company to effectively manage and use information
Information technology practices (ITP) capability The capability of a company to effectively manage appropriate IT applications and infrastructure in support of operational, decision-making and communication processes
Information management practices (IMP) capability The capability of a company to manage information effectively over its life cycle
Information behaviors and values (IBV) capability The capability of a company to instil and promote behaviors and values in its staff for effective use of information Integrity Is an organizational value manifested through individual behavior that is characterized by the absence of manipulating information for personal gains such as knowingly passing on inaccurate information, distributing information to justify decisions after the fact or keeping information to oneself. Good information integrity results in effective sharing of sensitive information
Sensing Involves how information is detected and identified concerning: economic, social and political changes; competitor’ innovations that might impact the business; market shifts and customer demands for new products; and anticipated problems with suppliers and partners
IT for operational support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and technical expertise to control business operations, to ensure that lower-skilled workers perform their responsibilities consistently and with high quality and to improve the efficiency of operations IT for business process support Focuses on the deployment of software, hardware, networks and technical expertise to facilitate the management of business processes and people across functions within the company and externally with suppliers and customers
Collecting Consists of the systematic process of gathering relevant information by profiling information needs of employees; developing filter mechanisms (computerized & non-computerized) to prevent information overload; providing access to existing collective knowledge; and training and rewarding employees for accurately and completely collecting information for which they are responsible
Formality Refers to the degree to which members of an organization use and trust formal sources of information. Depending on the size, virtualness, and geographic dispersion of an organization, this balance shifts towards more formal or informal information behavior Control Is the disclosure of information about business performance to all employees to influence and direct individual and, subsequently, company performance
Ref: Marchand, Kettinger, Rollins
THE IO MODEL (2 of 2)
IT for innovation support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and capabilities that facilitate people’s creativity and that enable the exploration, development and sharing of new ideas. It also includes the hardware and software support to develop and introduce new products and services Organizing Includes indexing, classifying and linking information and databases together to provide access within and across business units and functions; training and rewarding employees for accurately and completely organizing information for which they are responsible Sharing Is the free exchange of non-sensitive and sensitive information. Sharing occurs between individuals in teams, across functional boundaries and across organizational boundaries (I.e. customers, suppliers and partners)
IT for management support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and capabilities that facilitate executive decision-making. It facilitates monitoring and analysis of internal and external business issues concerning knowledge sharing, market developments, general business situations, market positioning, future market direction and business risk
Processing Into useful knowledge consists of accessing and analyzing appropriate information sources and databases before business decisions are made. Hiring, training, evaluating and rewarding people with analytical skills is essential for processing information into useful knowledge
Information transparency Occurs when an organization’s employees trust each other enough to talk about failures, errors and mistakes in an open and constructive manner and without fear of unfair repercussions
Maintaining Involves reusing existing information to avoid collecting the same information again, updating information databases so that they remain current and refreshing data to ensure that people are using the best information available
Information Proactiveness Occurs when an organization’s staff actively seek out and respond to changes in their competitive environment and think about how to use this information to enhance existing and create new products and services

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL (including the major determinant of each force)
Threat of substitute products or services
(+) By making the overall industry more efficient, the Internet can expand the size of the market () The proliferation if Internet approaches creates new substitution threats
Buyers Bargaining power of suppliers Rivalry among existing competitors
Bargaining power of channels Bargaining power of end users
(+) Procurement using the Internet tends to raise bargaining power over suppliers, though it can also give suppliers access to more customers
(-) The Internet provides a channel for suppliers to reach end users, reducing the leverage of intervening companies (=) Internet procurement and digital markets tend to give all companies equal access to suppliers, and gravitate procurements to standardized products that reduce differentiation () Reduced barriers to entry and the proliferation of competitors downstream shifts power to suppliers
() Reduces differences among competitors as offerings are difficult to keep proprietary
(+) Migrates competition to price (-) Widens the geographic market, increasing the number of competitors () Lowers variable cost relative to fixed cost, increasing pressures for price discounting
(+) Eliminates powerful channels or improves bargaining power over traditional channels
() Shifts bargaining power to end consumers (-) Reduces switching costs
() Reduces barriers to entry such as the need for a sales force, access to channels, and physical assets, anything that Internet technology eliminates or makes easier to do reduces barriers to entry
(-) Internet applications are difficult to keep proprietary from new entrants
Barriers to entry
() A flood of new entrants has come into many industries

Do Maximum Good… i.e., Create Maximum Value
Open Enterprise Organization Culture Maximizes the creation of value simultaneously in economic, social, Level 3 and ecological terms. Relationship Management Culture Value created but typically traded off, usually after the demands of investors are satisfied.
Level 2
Do Minimum Harm… i.e., Avoid Destroying Value
Level 1
Compliance Culture Preserves value consistent with laws and norms and seeks to avoid the unacceptable destruction of value (economic, social, or ecological.)

FIVE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP
5 PERSONHOOD Respect People follow because of who you are and what you represent 4 PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT Reproduction People follow because of what you have done for them 3 NOTE: This is where long range growth occurs. Your commitment to developing leaders will insure ongoing growth to the organization and to people. Do whatever you can to achieve and stay on this level NOTE: This is where success is sensed by most people. They like you and what you are doing. Problems are fixed with very little effort because of momentum. NOTE: This step is reserved for leaders who have spent years growing people and organizations. Few make it. Those who do are bigger than life.

Choosing a Loyalty Strategy
Butterflies
High Profitability
• good fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • high profit potential Actions: • aim to achieve transactional satisfaction, not attitudinal loyalty • milk the accounts only as long as there are active •Key challenge is to cease investing soon enough True friends
• good fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs
• highest profit potential Actions: • communicate consistently but not too often • build both attitudinal and behavioral loyalty • delight these customers to nature, defend, and retain them
Barnacles Strangers
Low Profitability
• little fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • lowest profit potential Actions: • make no investment in these relationships • make profit on every transaction • limited fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • low profit potential Actions: • measure both the size and share of wallet • if share of wallet is low, focus on up-and cross- selling •If size of wallet is small, impose strict cost controls Short-term Customers

GENERAL STRATEGIC GROUPS
by Henry Mintzberg
• • • • • • • •

• •
Niche Players: highly differentiated, usually by quality or design, with narrow scope core business like the Economist magazine Pioneers: very focused scope, highly innovative designs, first movers as in the origins of Apple computers or certain film companies Local Producers: undifferentiated strategies in particular geographic niches, like the corner gas station or the national post office Dominant firms: “heavy” cost leaders, whether resource producers upstream or mass marketers further down, with wide scope and often vertically integrated, like General motors Me-too firms: like dominant firms but not dominant, with copycat strategies Worldwide replicators: heavy on marketing, producing, and selling in individual markets around the world, according to formula like Coca-Cola or McDonald’s Professionals: providing established professional services to customers, such as consulting, engineering and accounting firms Thin producers: filling huge occasional contracts for customer, usually anywhere in the world, involving extensive design innovation and complex technology, like Boeing and an Airbus Rationalizers: so-called “global firms” that distribute production “mandates” around the world while selling to large segments on a wide geographic basis like an IBM or an IKEA Crystalline diversifiers or network firms: highly diversified, with wide scope and many producers differentiated by design, mostly created through internal development around core competencies, as in 3M Conglomerates: often made up of unrelated diversification by acquisition of dominant firms

Hierarchy of Competencies: What Consumers Are Really Saying About How They Want to Interact with Companies?
Attributes
LEVEL
III.Consumer Seeks the Company (Dominate)
ACCESS
Give me a solution; help me out in a bind
EXPERIENCE
Establish intimacy with me by doing something no one else can. Care about my needs and me.
PRICE
Be my agent; let me trust you to make my purchases
PRODUCT
Inspire me with an assortment or great products I didn’t know about. Be dependable in your selection and in stock position, so I can rely on you when I’m in a bind. Be credible in your product and service offerings.
SERVICE
Customize the product or service to fit my needs.
II.Consumer Prefers the Company (Differentiate)
Make the interaction convenient for me.
Be fair and consistent in your pricing. I’m not necessarily after the lowest price. Keep the prices honest; don’t jack them up or offer big savings when there are none. Be inconsistent, unclear, or misleading in your pricing.
Educate me when I encounter a product or a situation I don’t understand. Accommodate me; bend over backward sometimes to show me you care. Give me an experience I’d just as soon forget; give me a reason to tell my friends and relatives to stay away.
I.Consumer Accepts the Company (Operate at Par)
Make it easy for me to find what I need, get in and out in a hurry.
Respect me; treat me like a human being.
Consumer Underworld
Block my way, hassle me, keep me waiting, make it hard for me to get in and out.
Dehumanize me; disrespect me; ignore my needs
Offer me poor quality merchandise and services that I can’t use.
