5. Discovering Wardley Maps & My tipping point
7. Why practise with books/articles?
8. 1. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
9. 2. Books give ‘shared’ context for mapping together
10. 2. Books give ‘shared’ context for mapping together
11. 3. Books provide the ‘matter’, and we give it ‘expression’ – a Map

19. Strategy Cycle From Simon Wardley @swardley
20. Strategy Cycle as Table – Loop #1 Chapters 3 to 7 Purpose Put out the fire - stop the bleeding - don't run out cash - be profitable Moral Imperative Patriotism - IBM's a national treasure/asset that we must rescue/save Landscape See Map Doctrine See map Climatic Patterns N/A Decide & Act Major decision: reposition the mainframe in order to cut its price. (1) Keep the company together [based on Landscape + a couple of Climatic Patterns – pp. 57-61] (2) Change the fundamental economic model. Reduce waste. (pp. 62-63) (3) Re-engineer how we did business (implementation took about 10 yrs) around 11 areas. Goal: improve doctrine + save money (4) Sell underproductive assets in order to raise cash. Generate money • Very urgent in first two years: 1993 to 1995 • Not urgent but continued in subsequent years
21. Strategy Cycle as Table – Loop #1 Chapters 3 to 7 Purpose Put out the fire - stop the bleeding - don't run out cash - be profitable Moral Imperative Patriotism - IBM's a national treasure/asset that we must rescue/save Landscape See Map Doctrine See map Climatic Patterns N/A Decide & Act Re-engineering: • in 1993 alone, from obvious excess, saved $2.8 Billion. • By end of 1995, had saved $2 Billion, just in IT. From 1994 to 1998, total savings from reengineering were $9.5 Billion (I'm assuming a time period of 8 years - from 1993 to 2001) (1) for Hardware development: from 4 years to 16 months (2) for on-time product delivery rates from 30% (in 1995) to 95% (in 2001) (3) inventory costs reduced by $80 million (4) write-offs reduced by $600 million (5) delivery costs reduced by $270 million (6) avoided material costs close to $15 Billion
