DD#002: The Business Technology Standard

As a more challenging economic season approaches, it’s essential to ensure you are making the most of your available resources. Digital Transformation is perfect starting point to optimise your organisation, but it can be difficult to know where to start: with so much to think about it’s no wonder a number of programmes fall at the first hurdle.

 

The Business Technology Standard is an industry best practice and an open- source management framework to plan, build and run information technology in today’s technology-driven business world, and it’s ideal for building business capabilities for organisations starting or going through a digital transformation.

 

If you are a director, head of or senior leader with an involvement in running IT or digital technology teams and interested in improving efficiency & effectiveness in your business, why not join us for our ‘Introduction to the BT Standard’ webinar on Wednesday 12th October at 1.00pm (UK)

Why adopt the BT Standard?

We are seeing a shift in focus from revenue to profitability through digital transformation. But what does this really mean? The single most important concept is that being “digital” means a whole new way of working and thinking. It is not just about technology.

 

In fact, often tech is the easy bit (although to be fair some of it is quite hard). The Business Technology Framework has been designed to help organisations make better use of technology. If you are unsure how it could be helpful, then read on.

Coach & Facilitator

ELENA VAN LEEMPUT

I like my work best when I can motivate and help other people. I constantly strive for excellence in everything I do and I’m open to different ideas that challenge my views. I believe in constant change which drives my innovative mindset. My background is both in technology and business with more than 15 years’ experience ranging from demand, development to service management. I enjoy taking initiative and carry out new ventures.

I try to keep things simple and bring my skills when I coach and facilitate to inspire people and help them innovate. I’m passionate about all forms of facilitation and coaching be it face-to-face or virtual facilitation. I also enjoy creating different e-learning training, holding innovation workshops and design thinking hackathons.

I also find it very important to nurture my creative side along the way (visual arts: photography, sketching, videography and all areas of design) through both my work and hobbies – which I’m happy to say I get to do often enough.

Coach & Facilitator

THOMAS HUGHES

I work as coach and facilitator in the Business Technology Academy. My focus is business simulation games such as the DevOps simulation. I consider myself a full-stack Business Technology professional of sorts. During the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in wide range of various IT and business management roles in and with organizations ranging from global enterprises to startups in a variety of industries.

I enjoy looking for new perspectives to phenomena and challenging myself and others to continuously develop ourselves and to expand our thinking. Being in the discomfort zone is the way to grow. As a coach I like to cross breed theoretical frameworks, practical examples, illuminating stories and humour. I see simulation games as a perfect way to combine these into an engaging and fun day.    

I enjoy exploring life through various projects and experiments. Some of these involve focused self-development both physically and mentally, while others focus more on creative aspirations related to areas like photography, writing and digital media.
