Portfolio Management for All Efforts   Most organizations lack the resources to effectively deal with the work at hand. To get ahead of the curve, you need to prioritize work, control how new initiatives are evaluated against current efforts, assign resources efficiently, and accurately track progress and performance. However, your best strategy may not produce optimal results unless you leverage an integrated approach to planning, tracking and managing ALL your efforts, including support, projects, and new initiatives. Furthermore, just good project management won’t cut it when your resources are involved in day to day operational and support efforts. We interview Rich Murphy to gain the EPK Group's perspective on IT Project and Portfolio Management. Rich is a founding partner of the EPK Group.  55 Minutes EA Road Mapping   Road maps are essential for aligning business planning with your technology strategy. Furthermore, to drive agility, road mapping manages the time dimension so you can react to predictable and unpredictable events. Moreover, and particularly for complex organizations, road-mapping enhances governance and collaboration. While the manual construction of road maps can help, they are a costly maintenance headache at the end of the day. Fortunately, this exercise can and should be automated. We interview Dr. Ulrich Kalex to gain alfabet's perspective on EA road mapping. Ulrich is the VP of Product Line Management at alfabet. 40 Minutes Asset and Workforce Management   Having the ability for a device or machine to talk to one other is vital. Indeed, the emerging market of machine-to-machine solutions is key to gaining the competitive advantage that drives your profitability. Furthermore, M2M (machine-to-machine) solutions and tools support the exchange of real-time information between hardware assets, mobile workers, back-office management and key stakeholders in mission-critical departments. The result is an efficient and intuitive system that better manages employees and devices, regardless of their location. We interview Mike Stramaglio and Ramiro Trevino to gain MWA Intelligence's perspective on asset and workforce management. Mike is the CEO, and Ramiro is the VP of Engineering both with MWA Intelligence.  37 Minutes EA Governance   IT planners face a tough challenge when it comes to project tracking and investment management. Fail to meet this challenge, and you will have an ineffectual enterprise architecture, and a poor alignment between IT and your business strategy. Application backlogs, outsourcing and off shoring tasks, and new government regulations can exacerbate your planning challenge. However, the successful management of all aspects of your activity cycle will balance the proportions of your IT budget that support operations and innovation. We interview Dr. Ulrich Kalex to gain alfabet's perspective on enterprise architecture governance. Ulrich is the VP Product Line Management at alfabet. 45 Minutes Growth With Remote Asset Management   Whether you are a company with a small or large customer service workforce or managing hundreds to millions of assets, leveraging technologies to manage your employees, assets and business operations in a more efficient manner is the best way to gain a competitive advantage. If you are faced with shrinking margins, internal and external pressures, new competition or direct sales channels, and in some cases new government regulations, the goal remains the same – better customer service and greater customer retention. We interview Mike Stramaglio to gain insight into achieving business growth through remotely managing workers and assets. Mike is the CEO of MWA Intelligence.  41 Minutes
