Learn to secure and sustain organizational acceptance of SOA

Research shows that 70% of major IT related business initiatives fail.  A few of these efforts are highly successful.  A few qualify as near disasters.  Most fall somewhere in between with results far short of expectations.  Inadequate understanding of organizational change and less than effective change approaches account for this dismal success rate.

Today, in regard to SOA, we find organizations making similar mistakes as they build on early successes and scale their efforts.  SOA imposes new ways of thinking, being and doing.  Unless organizations can rally IT behind SOA and align IT with the business around SOA, most SOA efforts will falter. 

This workshop will teach you how to identify typical hurdles to organizational acceptance of SOA and how to analyze them and design appropriate solutions.  We will illustrate this approach and our methodology using real-life scenarios to be provided by workshop participants.

Key issues:

• What is organizational change?
• How to understand the change implications of SOA?
• Overview of the major approaches to enabling change
• How to select and execute the right change approach?
• How to monitor success and reinforce the approach?
