Simply put, Business would like to see CIO act as the owner of a shopping mall
• Business stakeholders want the IT department to treat them like customers, with a directory, shops, qualified personnel…
• A (sales)person should always be available to help, provide tips and advice on how to best use the products
• If one shop isn’t able to satisfy the customer, an alternative is offered at another shop nearby
• The mall boss is on the lookout for what is or isn’t successful, listens to customer suggestions, monitors the marketplacefor new ideas, and offers successful brands a place in the mall

Traditionally, IT has developed frameworks to structure IT Management, incl. Demand & Supply
• The IT function excels at producing frameworks with cryptic names (ASL, BiSL, CMMI, COBIT, ITIL, TOGAF...)
• These are useful to structure and professionalize the discipline
• Have these models helped in structuring a gooddialogue and relationshipwith “the Business”?

In spite of the efforts to professionalise IT, Business as well as IT still are not satisfied by the status quo
Thanks to Cloud and Agile developments, Business has high expectations of IT
Yet “even IT executives report declining performance from their own function”

By taking the shopping mall analogy we can cut to the essence of “Business-IT alignment”
• It helps to structure Demand and Supply Management by looking at the Business as customers, IT as a shopping mall and the CIO as the mall boss
• The IT organisation must understand the Demand side very well: what are the motivations, values, behaviours, hierarchy of needs... of the (internal) customers?
• To do that, IT must proactively analyse and anticipate business evolutions• IT also has to manage the Supply side equally well:
– Who can deliver the best solution– As responsively as possible– When and where needed– Against the lowest TCO?
SupplyAdequate, Responsive, Accessible, Affordable…
DemandValues, Motivations, Behaviours, Needs…

The shopping mall analogy is also useful to explain why running IT as a Business isn’t easy
• Keeping Demand and Supply in perfect harmony at the lowest possible cost is no mean feat.
• Business stakeholders understand what it takes and will appreciate the efforts. For instance, in simple words:– Transformation: refurbishing the mall while keeping it attractive looking and retaining a
pristine customer experience will take a lot of effort (money!)– Innovation: yes we can remove some shops to fit a supermarket in, but that takes some
negotiations and reengineering, and it has to fit in the overall architecture– Operations: everything new you want has to be compatible with the existing infrastructure,
or it may take some time (e.g. training) and effort (i.e. investment)– Employee engagement: self-service and e-learning portal for staff can be arranged but access
has to be secured; an à la carte restaurant is expensive– Sustainability: green power can be arranged, but solar panels on the roof tops may not fit,
recycling bins make sense if everyone is disciplined in using them– Costs: yes all of the above may result in improved results, but some investments will be
needed and that budget is limited! What should go first?

Tips to CIOs who want to act as a shopping mall boss

Adopt Agile methods to support innovation Be adamant about Business getting involved!
Customer Journey Mapping and Scrum teams won’t work without that engagement

margin, business case• Employee engagement• Compliancy
