Technology asset management and is an ever increasing focus of regulators and industry bodies and rightly so. Businesses that leverage technologies, and most do, need to ensure that the digital services they provide are resilient in terms of currency, supportability, availability and security … just to name a few dimensions!
Most organisations Technology Asset Management capabilities are reactive. The goal of technology asset management should be to be predictive, self-healing … to be Evergreen.
Strategy & Architecture helps organisations to become Evergreen by uplifting technology asset management capabilities by implementing frameworks and tooling that combines business service ownership, enterprise architecture planning, portfolio management, continuous delivery and risk management best practices.
One such tool that has been well received by Strategy & Architecture clients is the “paddle-pop” service model. Aptly named as it resembles ice-cream sticks or paddle-pops that graphically depict resiliency concerns of technology assets within the domain and technology layers. When combined with a risk management framework it is easily digested by business owners.
Paddle-pop service models and associated risk framework encourages technology ownership and accountability – hence investment thereby ensuring technology assets are both resilient and compliant.
