Technology Transfer, Innovation and IT Governance - Best Practices for Value-Driven, Component-Based Enterprise Architec

1. Fifth Quarterly Emerging Technology Components Conference: Technology Transfer, Innovation and IT Governance - Best Practices for Value-Driven, Component-Based Enterprise Architecture October 25, 2004 MITRE, McLean, Virginia Architecture & Infrastructure and Best Practices Committees, CIO Council

2. Welcome • On behalf of: • The organizers of the Fifth Conference: • Tony Stanco, Susan Turnbull, Brand Niemann, Ira Grossman, and Rick Tucker. • To all those who are presenting, participating, and assisting. • This is the second of what we hope will be a long-term relationship with MITRE! • Logistics: • Government personnel ordinarily are provided non-escort badges within MITRE, while MITRE escort is required for those from non-government organizations (e.g. private sector).

3. Overview • Title: • Technology Transfer, Innovation and IT Governance - Best Practices for Value-Driven, Component-Based Enterprise Architecture • Purpose: • To learn how to organize across national, regional, and local technology transfer and innovation programs in order to rapidly advance component-based best practices for value-driven, as opposed to compliance-driven, enterprise architecture.

4. Overview • A Key Finding of the Past Year: • The need to apply emerging technologies (web services, grid computing, and semantic web) to tune up the innovation pipeline with better linkages among business incubators (state economic development programs), innovation diffusion networks (SBIR, angel investors, etc.) and business intelligence centers with quality information about e-government and e-commerce gaps. Many of the agile business components surfacing in innovative settings are not easily discovered by e-government managers, resulting in lost or delayed opportunities for both parties.

5. Overview • Key Questions: • Why does the chief enterprise architect for General Motors report to the CEO of General Motors on how technology innovation will save General Motors money and grow its business instead of on the benefits of enterprise architecture? • Why do CIOs prefer to promote value-driven, instead of compliance-driven, enterprise architecture within their organizations? • How do enterprise information architects deliver the value (e.g. information integration, knowledge management systems, etc.) that could benefit the IT enterprise architects in their work? • How can stakeholders to this purpose amplify their individual and collective effectiveness by collaborating together? Where are the intangible assets like "network effects" emerging to advance the whole purpose?

6. Overview • Key Questions: • How could frontier outposts for Innovation Diffusion be among the first adopters of open, semantic technologies (like ontological standards or semantic web-services) that "distill" and "apply" the smart-data, -information and knowledge needed by both people and machines to solve complex problems within their work environments? • How can the relationships, business processes, and tools needed by diverse people to augment their "collective intelligence" around technology transfer and innovation diffusion be designed to support and not hobble, people's natural forms of expertise?

7. Overview • Strategic Organizing: • Evolving a Multi-Stakeholder Process for Identifying Emerging Technology Using Ontology Models and Semantic Web Best Practices: • September 14, 2004: Design Workshop to Frame National Dialogue on Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing and Implications for e-Government. • October 19, 2004: Evolving a Multi-Stakeholder Best Practices Process for Implementing An FEA DRM XML Profile and Open Standards Web Applications: Introduction to Semantic Technology Tools and Applications. • December 9, 2004: All Things Ontological - Common Upper Ontology, NSF Digital Government Projects, Environmental Health Thesaurus in the Semantic Web, Toward a DRM Ontology, etc. (preliminary title and topics).
