Risk Rating of Technology-based Initiatives in Governments
27 novembre, 2007
1h00 - 2h30 PM
Investing in technology-based initiatives can bring high rewards as well
as dismal losses. Predicting future performance based on past achievements
helps but can be misleading. DBase III+, developed by Ashton-Tate, was
among the best-selling software titles in the late 80’s. Yet, dBase
IV, its successor, was a disaster, and Ashton-Tate lost most of its market
share to competitors.
Other examples abound
Alternatively, opportunities offering the potential of high returns can
be missed because past performance results are not available or are incomplete,
which forces organizations to turn them down or to take a gamble.
This webinar explains how risk inherent to initiatives calling on engineering
and technical development is analyzed, and how such analyses can go a
long way in helping government departments take advantage of promising
opportunities, while providing early detection and warning of decreased
performance.
PROGRAM
- What information does a risk rating of technology-based initiatives provide?
- What is it based on, and how recognized and reliable is its basis?
- How is it conducted?
- Case studies.
- Questions and open discussion.

Applying CMMI in Banks. The Formula
3 octobre, 2007
With a limited IT budget, Banks often have to deliberate between multiple improvement models and standards such as CMMI, ISO, COBIT, and ITIL. Embarking on process improvement activities based on the CMMI does not come without risks. If the CMMI is being contemplated in your Bank, why not be more successful at it than other Banks!
This webinar will explore key issues surrounding CMMI implementation in the Banking industry. If properly addressed, these issues will mount up to significant time, effort and cost savings.
The top 5 issues that Banks should be aware of before they embark on any CMMI improvement roadmap are:
- How to strategize and deploy CMMI in an enterprise that has multiple lines of business
- Leveraging CMMI with other improvement standards such as ISO, COBIT, and ITIL
- “Working WITH” the CMMI as opposed to “Working FOR” the CMMI
- Defining the single most important measure that needs to be taken with regards to the CMMI
- Building a relationship with a CMMI service provider
Attendees will receive privileged information based on over 25 appraisals conducted by GRafP Technologies in the Banking industry over the past 10 years. Whether you are contemplating getting started with the CMMI in your Bank or have already started CMMI process related improvement activities, this presentation is not to be missed.
Maximizing Your CMMI Investments – Ensuring
CMMI Participants Survive
17 mai 2007
Embarking on process improvement activities can be a daunting and costly experience in some organizations or a simple exercise in others. In certain settings, senior management struggle to maintain yearly sponsorship. Personnel are solicited for participation on improvement groups, often under poor conditions (e.g. limited training, time and budget).
This webinar will explore how CMMI participants can take a smoother road to implementing process improvement activities, by first addressing the most common 'cold symptoms' experienced by over 95% of the organizations en route to CMMI Maturity Level 3.
Pain relievers to be explored in this webinar will include:
Pain relievers to be explored in this webinar will include:
- Extra strength PPQA
- MA pain relief
- Non drowsy IPM
- Fast, effective, relief from CM
- DAR soothing lotion
Attendees will receive privileged information based on over 120 appraisals conducted by GRafP Technologies in over 12 years. Whether you are young or old to the CMMI, this presentation will provide some relief for everyone.
Come and share your experience if you are new to the CMMI. As a CMMI patient, come and learn how to become an ‘In & Out' patient and avoid being admitted to ‘Long Term Care’.
Reducing SCAMPI Appraisal Team Workloads by at least

Subjects to be explored in this webinar will include:
- Submission of advanced surveys (written affirmation) to appraisal participants.
- Pre-population of observations in preparation for a SCAMPI A, based on SCAMPI B or C results.
- Numerical versus qualitative Instantiation and Organizational Unit practice charaterization scales.
- Wording and structure of observations and findings.
- Validation of findings focused on areas of weaknesses.
- Automation of activities (e.g. Web Based automation)
a. Real time integration of Lead Appraiser and Appraisal member findings.
b. Flexible formatting of reports
