Modernization, Maturity, & The Playbook: Part 1 – The Marvel of the Playbook | Past Expert Insights Webinar

Expert Insights Webinar

This video focuses on the creation of the State of Minnesota’s Office of Transformation to standardize and assist state agencies with their modernization efforts.

Get ideas on:

  • how to identify best practices for your playbook
  • how to include your business units in the process
  • how to help your organization chart a course for its own transformation.

WATCH VIDEO HERE

The State of Minnesota launched the Modernization Playbook to address outdated systems and infrastructure.  The Playbook is an end-to-end framework to establish consistency in understanding roles, language, and process activities for the successful transformation of business processes and IT portfolio and application management to support modernization efforts.

This 3-part Series will showcase the Playbook and its purpose, how it was used to rank state agency maturity, and how it is used to chart transformation and focus agencies into the future.

While the state of Minnesota developed the Playbook to address IT modernization projects, the Playbook concept can be applied to a full spectrum of projects and portfolio management*.

*Where you see the words state agency, think Business Unit or Product Line.  Where systems or infrastructure appear, think new products, The Great Resignation, pandemic shifts, or any one of the number of forces that require transformation in your organization.

 

ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Stacey Walker is the Transformation Program Manager in the State of Minnesota’s Office of Transformation and Strategy Delivery, a newly formed enterprise services department that serves all 22 executive branch state agencies. Stacey has been in her role since April 2021 having transitioned from the healthcare sector where she has worked for 25 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Nursing and a Master of Science degree in Nursing/Healthcare Leadership. In the early 2000’s with the digital transformation to electronic medical records, Stacey moved into a clinical informatics role and progressed from there into project and program leadership where she has gained 12 years of experience.  Stacy earned her Project Management Professional (PMP) certification in 2015 and recently became certified in organizational change management. She is known as a creative leader with high energy and is honored to be able to serve her fellow Minnesotans in her new role helping to modernize Minnesota’s state government.

Maureen Mathias

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Maureen Mathias earned her Master of Arts from Rutgers University, later adding a Certified Business Architect from the Business Architecture Guild and a Business Architecture Certificate from Metro State University in St. Paul Minnesota.

Maureen started a journey in 2008 that led to a career as a business architect. “Through the journey, it seems I have hit every situation you would want to avoid. One thing that stands out, is that a business architecture practice anywhere must fit the culture and the needs of an organization.”

In her business architect role for an insurance company, she has established training for the teams that utilize architecture tools and for those that need to learn what business architecture is and how it relates to their day-to-day responsibilities for several years.

Maureen is excited to share her experience: what works and what does not as well as learn from the experiences of other business architects.
