Bimodal IT Offers a Way to Get Unstuck Waterfall development Known vendors Strong governance Minimized risk Technology teams Traditional Mode When speed or innovation is needed, or there is a high degree of uncertainty Stuck in the middle "Fit for no one" Agile dev. Small/ Innovative partners Lightweight "Just good enough" governance Managed risk Multidisciplinary teams Nonlinear Mode "The reality is that you do have to operate at two speeds, and some of that you do by creating dedicated teams for each. Focusing on the big systems, making them run smooth, while at the same time having disrupters to innovate, together with marketing and the customer, exploiting digital." Willem Eelman, Global CIO, Unilever Mythbuster: Nonlinear need not be limited to where speed is needed, for experiments, or for non-mission-critical initiatives.
Case Study: Large Enterprise Rearchitects for Hybrid Cloud Computing Scope Thirteen data centers with one data center devoted to development/testing of new cloud management and infrastructure releases 3 PB storage, 20,000+ VMs provisioned, adding hundreds each week IaaS + software/paas/saas; development/testing and production Design principals: Phase project for incremental return (started with dev/test, moved to dynamic workload/runtime optimization, next up: elasticity). Charge customers for usage. Enable diverse (and competitive) infrastructure suppliers; no lock-in. Host 80%+ of servers within the private cloud with no local storage and repurpose via reboot, with an aggressive push to convert to stateless. Critical success factors: Deep development and architecture skills in IT I&O Integrating tools from many suppliers Results: Significant reduction in cost of service delivery and speed to provision.

The CIO Golden Rule for Building a Bimodal IT Organization I. Be clear and create principles of what goes into conventional IT, and what goes into nonlinear. Default criteria: Need for speed, need to innovate, high levels of uncertainty. II. III. IV. Design all components to form a consistent nonlinear environment: Structure, staffing, sourcing, governance, metrics, tools. Apply lightweight architectural governance to ensure that nonlinear mode initiatives don't make a mess, but governance shouldn't be too heavy/slow. Provide sufficient focus on the ability to refactor/industrialize nonlinear mode into conventional mode IT, and to unleash conventional systems into the nonlinear world when the need arises. V. Consider skills and cultural aptitude (e.g., neophilia, tolerance for risk/uncertainty) in staffing the nonlinear mode organization. VI. VII. VIII. IX. Be brave about the need for new people/skills/culture in nonlinear; don't set yourself up for failure with the wrong people. Don't use placement in the nonlinear mode organization as a reward for your best staff; they may not be a cultural fit. Manage communications so that conventional and nonlinear mode IT are seen as important and exciting places to work. Manage the cultural distance of the nonlinear mode team from the core of the company not too near, not too far.
