In order to achieve success of this strategy several objectives must be accomplish. First having a more collaborative IT and integrated and governance structure helps the institution make the right decisions in respect to IT. These actions will help the Executive VPs to support the idea of IT funding based on value received (UNM, 2006). Within a strategic level, the only technologies that have changed more rapidly are information technology and communications. These changes are driving most of the changes in a more global business environment. Companies that are capable of getting their “arms around” their information systems and communications have a critical competitive advantage. Companies’ content with older technology will find themselves on the wrong side of an ever expanding technology driven gap in customer service, production flexibility, cost efficiency, customer technical support capability, and product customization and differentiation( UMN, 2006).

...various stages and finally the various steps to achieve the goal. In my opinion, Organizational and IS Strategy are the left and right hands of Business Strategy. They are the main tools to accomplish the vision derived during business strategy. Any change in the business requires necessary changes in others in order to achieve a goal. Business Strategy can be defined as a plan that company opts for which includes the selection and application of resources in order to accomplish a competitive advantage. Organizational Strategy defines the organization structure within the company and suggests necessary changes to form a successful team. It is important the company understands the gap between the current and desired state. Some of the essential factors that are considered while developing the organizational strategy are - new skills that are required by the company, talent management practices required to create high performing team and the culture that the company practices. Information Strategy on the other hand focusses on developing the right information technology architecture, selection of right software applications and hardware to support the business strategy. None out of the three strategies can work in solo. They complement each other, in which business strategy drives the other two. I would like to share one of the most recent examples to support my discussion, i.e. how T-Mobile USA navigated through turbulent times during year 2010 and eventually by aligning all its...

...insurance plan or confirming our observations in each stage. Crystal Ball software served as an analytical tool for our analysis. The simulations conducted for our analysis consisted of 10,000 trials each. See Appendix for illustrations related to this analysis. Analysis Detail Stage 1: A comparative analysis of the maximum values of the total losses and insurance costs in the first year showed that there is only one insurance plan that guarantees that the next year losses are not going to exceed $37 million: HIC ($33.8 million maximum). RNCN1 has a maximum of $43.8 million, which is reasonably close to the $41 million limit that we are aiming to avoid in the first year. We also noted that the Self-insurance plan has minimal expected costs of $4.6 million in first year, but bears the highest volatility, which may lead to losses of up to $170.5 million (See Exhibit 1). At this stage, we exclude the RNCN2 plan from further considerations because even though is offers low expected costs, the probability of going over the limit of $37 million and incurring costs of $60 million is significant for the purposes of this analysis. We plan to confirm this preliminary conclusion during the sensitivity analysis. Stage 2: The next step in our analysis is to look at the 5 year costs of the four remaining plans (refer to Exhibit 2). RNCN1 plan bears the highest 5 year expected costs ($113.6 million), so it’s fear to exclude it from further consideration. The remaining plans offer the following...

...Assignment: NIBCO Case Study If you had been the IS head at NIBCO, what approach would you have recommended and why? NIBCO, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, is a privately held midsized manufacture of valves and pipe fittings. NIBCO’s objective was a plan to convert to SAP R/3 at all ten plants and the four new North American distribution centers at the same time. The price tag for the 15-month project was estimated to be $17 million. One-quarter of the company’s senior managers were dedicated to the project, including a leadership triad that included a former VP of operations (Beutler), the information services director (Wilson), and a former quality management director (Davis). During the initial months of the project, the co-leads worked with the IBM projects leaders to hone in on the scope, cost, and magnitude of the project in order to develop a final project plan with a realistic budget. The final project was estimated to be $17 million, which was 30 percent higher than the mid-summer estimate. One of the major reasons for the significant increase was the inclusion of change management costs that had been missing from the summer budget. About one third of the final budget was for technology infrastructure costs, including the R/3 software. Another third was for team costs and the education of NIBCO associates. The final third was for third-party consulting. There were also several major risks associated with the project that also would have to be managed. Firstly, the team would...
