Information systems management A part of the leadership team:
IS (Information System)/IT leadership CIO (Chief Information Officer) CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises): Often no IT department, or perhaps only a few
positions to maintain equipment IS leadership has to be performed by the
company management, often in cooperation with outside consultants
![Page 4: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Managing the IS organization Newer IT trends:
More hardware?: in machines, point of sale terminals, automatic counters…
Distribution of systems to end users More knowledgeable users. Better ”off-the-shelf” products Improved techniques for development,
improved tools. Outsourcing by the use of an ASP
(”Application Service Provider”.) Computing in the “cloud”

Important Internet, Web, new IT tools, etc. are
changing the business infrastructure New competition New possibilities IT becomes more important than before But there are also many opportunities
in client-server applications

From old to new tasks Traditional tasks such as running and
maintaining equipment are reduced and often outsourced
New, often more strategic tasks, emerge
Also applicable to IT-consultants: system development is still an important job,
but the most important task is to be able to see
what the company needs!

The role of the CIO (Chief Information Officer) Understand the company: its markets, business ideas,
competitors, challenges… Let the IT department offer good service Increase the IT maturity level in the company,
education, infrastructure… Define visions of the future, let the company understand
that IT is an important factor in making the company more competitive
Implement the IS-architecture. Develop and maintain a contact network to
management, suppliers, customers, experts… Consider new applications that can give the company
an advantage Develop new systems?

Understanding the business Establish project teams to study the
marketplace. Concentrate on lines of business. Sponsor weekly briefings. Attend industry meetings with line
executives. Read industry publications. Hold informal listening sessions. Partner with line executives.

weaknesses) External constraints (regulations, …) Resources

04/22/23 MS kap. 2 11
Lines of business Focus on each line (e.g., Molde
College: B.Sc. studies, master studies, doctoral studies, research) instead of looking at the whole organization.
The market, the customers, the technology are line-oriented
Many SME companies have only one “line”
![Page 12: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
04/22/23 MS kap. 2 12
For each line ask the following questions: Are we organized to support this line? Do we have an ”account manager” responsible
for this line? Do we have someone within that line of
business who oversees IT activity? Do we have a sponsor here? Do we have the attention of the line’s
management? Does the line of business offer an opportunity
to use systems in new ways? As consultants for SMEs we can ask the same
questions!

Systems development Listen to users:
Many problems can be solved with very moderate effort (hours, days)
With prototyping and modern development tools it is possible to solve many times within weeks or months
Make realistic time prognosis and budgets for large projects
Try to avoid very large projects!

For the consultant in an SME: Catch the environment in the company (structure, dynamic or
static, competitive or not, safe or uncertain future, entrepreneurial or not…)
Focus on strategy and business ideas Understand the market, the competition, technology, type of
company Identify and analyze problems What is the competence level of the employees – talk to them in
their language Define IT needs Understand what resources are available Risk analysis Work with central people in the organization: foremen, division
managers, IT-department (if any), and NECESSARY: top management!

Our role as consultants Show willingness to listen and to understand Solve real problems Start with the problems that are easiest to solve Be modest, underselling is better than overselling Deliver good results within time limits and budget
constraints Implement if necessary Give guarantees, take risks on your own account? Work hard if necessary Establish confidence with users

Aims and goals are important We need to know where we are
going, what our aims are "If you don't know where you're going, it
doesn't matter which way you go." (Lewis Caroll, Alice in Wonderland)
Can be stated as vision or mission statements, for organizations as well as systems

Vision for the future Examples:
”The customer shall have the packet by 09.00 tomorrow” (Federal Express)
”The customer shall be able to satisfy his insurance needs by one phone call” (USAA - insurance)
Any salesperson can order an elevator in a day (OTIS Elevator)
”By the end of the decade, we will put a man on the moon” (John F. Kennedy)
”I have a dream” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) US: Both “mission” and “vision”

04/22/23 MS kap. 2 21
How to develop a ”mission statement” A goal or direction, what do we want to achieve Business ideas (how shall we reach this goal) Value basis (what do we believe in) Example:
At the Developmental Studies Center we develop, evaluate, and disseminate programs [business] that foster children's ethical, social, and intellectual development [purpose]. While nurturing children's capacity to think skillfully and critically, we also strive to deepen children's commitment to prosocial values such as kindness, helpfulness, personal responsibility, and respect for others - qualities we believe are essential to leading humane and productive lives in a democratic society [values].
![Page 22: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
04/22/23 MS kap. 2 22
Vision Important – we agree on where we are going
(direction, inspiration, understood by everyone) A vision is more general than a strategy, and
can therefore be kept even if the world change: Tactics: How to win the battle Strategy: How to win the war Vision: What we want to achieve by winning
the war. Mission: Why we want this
Should be operative (compare Federal Express and Univ. of Michigan)
![Page 23: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
04/22/23 MS kap. 2 23
How to develop a ”vision statement” Start with dreams, intuition, creativity Alt. 1: Start with the current situation: what is
bad, what is good, how can we improve Alt. 2: Try to look into the future: what are the
challenges, paradigm shift, ”disruptive technologies”
Brainstorm process Time horizon: 5-10 years This is not team work, but a central task for
the management The vision must be “sold” to the employees.
Everybody has to be told that this is important.
![Page 24: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
04/22/23 MS kap. 2 24
Vision for IT IT will be an important competitive factor
for many institutions It should therefore be a part of the vision E.g.:
A bank: The challenge is to let our bank be the leading Internet based bank in Norway, letting the customers perform all standard bank services over the net.
An industry: By using IT we shall be able to deliver customized products within lead times of standard products, and with prices that are comparable to serial produced products
![Page 25: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
For a grocer Vision: To be the best alternative for
customers in our area Strategy: We shall use IT to become
effective Goals:
Reduce out-of-stock Reduce over-date items Offer what customers want Be competitive
![Page 26: Part 1 – Leadership issues](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e34550346895dcc94bc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

OMpro (Oshaug Metall) Vision for PPK (IT support system for propeller
manufacturing): PPK shall enable the company to produce propellers with higher
quality and less costs than today The company's competence on propellers shall be implemented
within this system The system shall be able to retrieve, store and handle all data on
propellers, independent of the format that the customer use The degree of automation should be as high as possible Where automation is not possible the system should support users
so that the task can be performed accurately and efficient. The system should be able to communicate directly with production
machinery Employees should be able to use the system with a minimum of
training. There should be good procedures to catch and to handle error
situations.
