Planning, Modeling, Managing and Measuring

According to Chan (2007), Planning, Model, Managing and Measuring are the main four steps that would enable companies to allocate their business and information technology alignment techniques under following strategies: 

Firstly, Planning step that translate business objectives into measurable IT services, so resources are effectively allocated to maximize turnover and ROI – This step requires ongoing communication between business and IT leaders (‎Chan, 2007).  

Secondly, the Model step. Actually, IT designs infrastructure aims to increase business value and optimize operations – IT must understand business needs and ensure that they are implementing systems critical to business services (‎Chan, 2007).  

Third, the Managing step. Service is delivered based on company objectives and expectations – IT must act as a single point-of-service request, and prioritize those requests based on pre-defined priorities (‎Chan, 2007). 

Forth, the Measuring step; Improvement of cross-organization visibility and service level commitments – ‎While metrics are essential, it is crucial that IT ensures a business context to what they are ‎measuring and keeps a clear relationship between the measured parameter and business ‎goals (‎Chan, 2007).

Information management, planning, and control in a business environment presentation framework

This framework discusses the topic of information management, planning, and control in a business environment. This presentation aims at providing all individuals involved in business administration on how to plan, evaluate, control and manage environments related to business. This is made possible by assessing business process management in turbulent environments. As for this case, the author has used a good example of the control of offshore service vessel for those companies in complex and highly volatile situations. In business management, the organization is supposed to make sure that all the business models have been strongly linked to the external partners to ensure that those logistic challenges in turbulent environments are effectively dealt with.

There are three major cases that the organization can implement when attempting to deal with increased turbulence. First is the use of capacity and based knowledge where the business will consider expansion of collaborative partners; second is resource redisposition where the management will aim at increasing its dynamic scope and last is uniform and sufficient knowledge with the stakeholders.

Enterprise resource planning is very important when it comes to business manufacturing, control, and planning of all the dynamic market requirements. The compact independence among the business activities and essential technical nature of the organizational systems under investigation impact how business management make decisions. Enterprise resource planning is very important when it comes to business management and operation within a dynamic environment. This is made possible as Enterprise resource planning systems provide any available effective information about business operations in a dynamic market environment.

To develop this strategy, the following elements where considered; the process- overall workflow, the activities or the tasks – where the management is based, the flows where technology and organization performance is provided; the events – those challenges resulting to the strategy to end or begin. The gateways indicate a change of events. Last is the participants where all individuals performing the task will be named.
