Atrophy in this context refers to a state of decline or deterioration in the effectiveness, efficiency, or the relevance of your enterprise systems compared with today’s dynamic and innovation-based business world.
You can build your SSOT 6-Pack regimen by prioritising, strengthening and sustaining your capability via exercising
A Governance Methodology - Without clear direction, oversight, and alignment with business goals, strategies, objectives, and effective tactics, these systems can drift into a state of neglect or inefficiency.
A UNS (Unified NameSpace) and Data Foundation - If the Asset Master Data input into the system is of poor quality e.g. incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate; it can compromise the system's ability to generate meaningful insights, support decision-making, and strain governance and sustainability efforts.
A Standards-based Regimen - Without a process for adopting, implementing and automating asset standards with an automated MOC, clear roles, responsibilities, and authorisations for ensuring compliance with the standards; then atrophy has ‘set in’ from day one.
An Interoperability Platform - Seamless system interoperability is NOW a fact of life - without a robust platform, atrophy becomes built-in via discrete / complex point-to-point integration and associated technical debt.
Better User Adoption - Poor user adoption can result from factors such as complex user interfaces, lack of training, or resistance to change; all of which can be strengthened by Knowledge Graph UI/UX’s, automated processes, and focused OCM direction.
Performance Optimisation and Extensibility - If you’re not focused on continuous improvement, better modelling, and challenges to the norm, then the absolute opposite will ensure and your systems will degrade or get fat; requiring even larger steps to avoid atrophy.
A Continuous Improvement mindset is the key to preventing enterprise systems from falling into atrophy - organisations need to prioritise their thinking, keep technology and supporting processes up-to-date, and build a regimen that exercises their 6-pack.
