I’m going to talk about…
• What VPEC-T is
• How it came about
• How it’s been used:
• In government - avoiding unneeded IT spend & stimulating organisational change
• In an international business - aligning business & IT values & strategy
• In UK company - as the seed for their integrated business/IT strategy
• In an International firm – to examine their IT Operating Model
• 3 Canvases for VPEC-T Analysis… others?

We learnt:
Business people found it easy describe Day-In-The-Life stories around Events, Policies & Content
Important aspects of the Requirement set had been left undocumented: The Values and Trust aspects of the Information System should be explored early to avoid costly failures.
A Policy-Event-Content analysis pattern taken from Supply Chain Logistics could be applied to the information flows between government departments

The result… Align with the businesses core values – Think Global, Act Local and
enable acquisitions & divestments strategy
Share Globally agreed business Event information but recognise that the
processes that produce and consume them often differ.
Standardise around globally agreed Content but be selective.
Respect in-country partner’s freedom to operate. Build customer intimacy locally
and adapt to local conditions.
Keep policy light – IS Policy to mimic the Network Operating Agreement and focus
on data exchange standards & metrics

Traditionally, they had focused on internal ‘Organiser’ systems – they’d already
started to move to ‘Connecter’ and ‘Expert’ – the ‘Aha Moment’ was the need to focus on Event-driven ‘Adaptors’ – this is now their strategy…
