The author suggests that the nine components of the deliberations dimension "should not be thought of as individual, free-standing concepts, but instead as a set of interdependent considerations" (p. 221). Describe the extent to which each of the Technology components below are interdependent with at least one (it doesn't matter which) of the Philosophical components, and why the interdependency is important to IT strategy. I am looking for more than just superficial relationships (e.g., data must be governed therefore they are interdependent).
Technology Components: Data, Technology, Security
Philosophical Components: Organization change management, IT governance, Culture
These nine categories will be explained and developed over the next several chapters. These nine components of delibera- tion should not be thought of as individual, free-standing con- cepts but instead as a set of interdependent considerations. For example, data do not stand alone. Data are dependent on the technology platform and governance standards of the com- pany. Additionally, platform and governance standards often drive the hiring plans for the IT organization. For purposes of this book, these items will be presented individually. You are encouraged, however, to consider their interdependencies. The nine categories of Deliberation are among the most vital ones to comprehend and master in your pursuit of an IT Strategy. The presentation reflects the results from interviews with over a dozen CIOs and IT executives to gain their perspective. That said, even with their contributions, it is not possible within the scope of a single book to cover every nuance of such complex ideas. Hopefully, as individual topics pique your interest, you'll go beyond the pages of this book and find supplemental readings. The nine Deliberation components are always evolving and expanding. To make my point, I checked the number of book titles on Amazon's site that relate to the topic of data. A quick search on data presented 281,657 titles on Amazon's site. After narrowing the search to the topic of data science the result was still a staggering 114,854 unique titles. Even the esoteric topic of data architecture returned a list of 10,824 book titles. These numbers just represent published books. This overwhelming body of knowledge increases daily in publications ranging from informal blogs to respected industry publications. Second, not only are the components of Deliberation rich and complex, they are also complete disciplines of study. Numerous consulting firms devote entire practice organiza- tions to the development of related intellectual property and its delivery to clients. IT security and organizational change 221Jim Maholic management come quickly to mind as well. Other consulting firms, while not wholly devoted to a single component, have developed sizable consulting divisions dedicated to individual components. Accordingly, while this section contains much pertinent content, it serves primarily as a high-level primer to introduce you to the topics and their relationship to each other. 22.1 Aligning the Deliberation Dimension Into Groups These nine components align themselves within three per- spectives, as shown in Figure 22.2 below. The current state and future state assessments extend beyond mere technology. To be thorough, we must consider the philosophical and practical dynamics at work in the enterprise. Why are these non-tech- nical topics relevant? They are relevant because they have the potential to exert both favorable and unfavorable influence on the organization and implementation of strategy. These topics materially affect and influence the behaviors of individuals. The three components in the philosophical column, orga- nizational change management, IT governance and culture, are the three most troublesome, underdeveloped and often ignored aspects of IT Strategy. CIOs, particularly those who focus heavily on technical expertise often feel most comfort- able addressing the left-hand and right-hand columns but are lost when wading into the challenges of the three philosophi- cal components. This section will demystify them and position you for success across the scope of IT Strategy. All nine elements of the Deliberation dimension are impor tant. However, they are not all equally important to every reader. And they are not of equal importance to all CIOs. To you, data integrity may be the most pressing issue your organi zation faces. Another CIO may have previously addressed data integrity but sees IT governance or tightened security as her biggest opportunity for improvement.

The gauges on the aircraft flight panel report such important information as fuel quantity, oil temperature, oil pressure, vacuum pressure, outside air temperature and bat- tery voltage. Likewise, there are switches and controls for func- tions including interior and exterior lighting, avionics, flap engagement, throttle control and fuel mixture. And if that's not enough, there is an entire radio stack. Most vital are the six common instruments you see located directly in the center of the flight panel and easily viewed by the pilot. These six strategically positioned instruments are the airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, turn coordina tor, heading indicator and vertical speed indicator. With these instruments, gauges, switches and indicators presented to the pilot, how does he determine which ones are the most impor tant? Importance can be categorized. The critical few objects are the six primary gauges in the center of the flight panel. The other gauges and indicators are important but can be monitored only as needed. For example, flap controls require attention only when engaging or disengaging the flaps but oth- erwise do not require monitoring. Think of the aircraft flight panel like your IT Strategy. There are certain things that are critical and require continuous attention. And then there are other things that are important and certainly cannot be wholly ignored, but are not all-consuming and can be addressed only periodically. As you evaluate your current state and plan for your future state, consider this time to be an excellent opportunity to reflect and correct. Reflect on your current state, evaluating the nine key components that we'll cover in this section. For each of them, consider conducting a stop, start, continue and change exercise. Opting to omit this exercise forfeits a great opportunity to make improvements as you move toward your future state. 224
