Speaking on Real examples of Digital Platforms at The Open Group London 2014 conference Oct 22 9am

Looking forward to meeting up again in London and beyond.

The Open Group have kindly provided a speaking slot for me on Wednesday 9am Oct 22.

I plan to talk about real case studies on how Enterprises are using digital technologies and platforms to transform the way they are doing business and their operating model. This is based on discussions and work with companies and industry sectors and showcase how Open Platform 3.0 thinking and models using Archimate can create powerful new digital strategies and outcome engineering models. The work will present public aspects of cases from Coca-Cola, MasterCard, Hilton International, several Smart Cities, Philips Healthcare, DHL, Unipart and several embedded technology examples from KPIT Cummings. The complete digital engineering models and architecture principles will also be explored relating to current research on Data Hubs and modular architecture systems thinking emerging in leading research projects I have involvement with in Warwick University consortia including Cambridge University and several other leading institutions and Industry partners. This work is aimed to also support foundational business development of The Open Group Open Platform 3.0 Forum program of work in 2014-2015.

It also relates to my forthcoming book “Building the Digital Enterprise, A guide to architecting Digital Workspaces” Palgrave Macmillan due out next year Q1 2015.

Open Platform 3.0™ Workshop – Session 1:The Definition of Open Platform 3.0™

SESSION 1: THE DEFINITION OF OPEN PLATFORM 3.0

Mark Skilton, Professor of Practice, Information Systems Management, Warwick Business School, UK Stuart Boardman, Senior Business Consultant, KPN Consulting, The Netherlands, and Open Platform 3.0 Forum Co-Chair

This session will look at the definition of Open Platform 3.0 and, in particular, the capabilities that platforms that conform to the standard should have, in the light of the business need. It will start with a presentation of the business context. This will be followed by a working session that describes the current state of the platform definition and identifies the capabilities that are needed.

END CUSTOMER EXAMPLES OF OPEN PLATFORM 3.0 IN ACTION

Mark Skilton, Professor of Practice, Information Systems Management, Warwick Business School, UK

Businesses are using digital technologies to enable new supply chains and operating model capabilities. Establishing effective digital enterprise is critical to engaging customers, consumer groups and providers in the new digital economy. A new language and approach to understanding how digitization of workplaces, assets and relationships is needed in managing successful outcomes and de-risking the impact of technologies on business and markets. This session explores real case studies in digitization and the role of Open Platform 3.0 principles in achieving effective architectural design for value outcomes.

Mark will:

• Explore real end customer examples of digitization of consumer experience and products using new digital workspaces.

• Identify how Open Platform 3.0 principles and solutions are defining end customer digital enterprise opportunities.

• Compare and contrast key Digital Architecture Design approaches to managing digitization outcomes and risks from international industry case studies in engineering, consumer goods, telecoms, financial services and government sectors.
