Slide 30 Challenges & Risks Challenges A test of one s abilities or resources in a demanding but rewarding undertaking. American Heritage Dictionary Risks To expose to danger; to lay open to the possibility of loss. Kernerman English Multilingual Dictionary Managing risk is not about not taking a risk. When managing risk you mitigate what you can, transfer what is appropriate and the rest you accept; but with full knowledge.
Slide 31 Challenges Business/IT alignment Technological complexity Adherence to practices Unclear requirements Lack of overall awareness Organizational & individual resistance Wasted effort & resources Poor internal relationships Etc.
Slide 32 Risks Prerequisites not met Lack of management commitment Leadership Vision Inadequate resources Lack of communication Silos & cowboys
Slide 33 Service Design Critical Success Factors Critical Success Factors (CSFs) Necessary to achieve the mission Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Measures that quantify objectives Enable measurement of performance Establish baseline for tracking performance Establish small sub-set Change over time as processes mature Performance is judged by achieving clearly defined objectives Compare today with the past
