Systems of Engagement

System of Engagement

This framework can help organizations move away from “one size fits everything” approach and embrace standards of governance and change management strategies.

Ownership

Board or Executive engagement fairly at senior level because of strategic focus and type of funding.

Capabilities

Well understood in advance. It's highly integrated and commoditized. Quite stable and interdependent.

Horizon

Planning horizon at this pace is two or more years because of various interdependencies.

Funding

The corporate capital investment process is applied at this pace as it directly relates to operational efficiency.

Risk

Minimum as the planning horizon is two or more years, and it also comes with sophisticated evaluation.

Sourcing

A formal selection committee with the complex evaluation process, ROI analysis. Usually traditional vendors present.

Architecture

Modular upfront design and systematic architectures. Governance is formal and enterprise wide.

Support

Regular patches, updated, and enhancements. Vendor tech support contract or internal IT Contract.

Strategic Focus

Operational Efficiency remains a strategic focus. Blocks of dependencies sharing the same focus.

Bimodal Approach

Systems of records are well suited for Mode 1. More predictable evolution of products and technologies.

Collaboration

It's usually low. A lot of emphasis on negotiation and formal touch points used for negotiation techniques.

Pace of Change

Slower compared to other layers, and incremental change is noticed because of a legacy that it comes with.

Architecture

Flexible and loosely coupled architectures. Service-oriented, mostly cloud first or cloud-ready architecture.

Support

Vendor contract or internal IT. Maintenance interwoven with ongoing development and engineering.

Driving force

Increase profitability while shortening the time to market. Bring agility in the business model transformation.

Capabilities

Reasonably understood in advance. Highly configurable and customizable, and autonomous.

BiModal Approach

Often hybrid, but mostly Mode 2 practices when exploration and experimentation are needed for evolution.

Pace of Change

Moderate but more frequent. Configurability is key, and the thinking changes with shorter time to market.

Architecture

Lightweight, emergent, low-code tools. Cloud and AI dominate with investments in public Cloud and security.

Support

Very limited in nature. Only best practice advisory services required due to autonomous business continuity.

Driving force

Disruptive thinking, constantly looks for quick wins by focussing more on newly achieved skills and leaving legacy.

Capabilities

Very unique, mostly not well-understood. Experimental basis with iterative and dynamic testing in paces.

Collaboration

High in these paces, and on the edge of chaos with strong collaboration. Also in Bimodal Mode 2.

Pace of Change

Rapid and very frequent with "throwaway" customization. Sense and respond approach with "Fail fast" planning horizon.

EXAMPLES OF PLUS INITIATIVES

Online Travel Agency
A leading OTA

A two-pronged pace layered strategy was implemented for one of the leading Online Travel Agency (OTA), in which Virtuos created lean, integrable layers as a part of a mid-term to long-term digital strategy. The pace layers were further divided into teams, processes, and technology. Harnessing 'Systems of Insights,' select modules were implemented to streamline the contact center operations first, and then these modules were extended to each LOB. This allowed the OTA to successfully introduce new processes, optimize existing processes and realize business outcomes parallelly.
