Channel: The Open Group
Date: 2021-05-12

Justin Mann, Managing Partner, Digital Business Consulting. Justin is an implementation consultant and educator recognized for his work in IT Transformation and Technology Value Management. While at Cisco he developed the framework for and authored the associated book on operating IT as a Services Organization (ITaaSO). 
He has continued to evolve the solution, aligning it with Agile principles as Digital Product Line Management, as one of the worlds leading experience-based frameworks and training Product Centric Technology Management across a Digital Business. 

This session explores the core principles of Product Centric Technology Operating Models and examines how they effectively re-wire the “Central Nervous System” of traditional silo-based technology operations, organizations, and mindsets. The session will also share a glance at how the forthcoming Version 3.0 of the IT4IT™ Reference Architecture Standard will carry digital product-centric philosophies outward from this new Operating Model-core across the full lifecycle of any given digital product and into every facet of technology management.
