Enterprises have wide technology portfolios that include revenue-generating applications built on old-guard standard technology stacks (e.g., IBM, Oracle) to dabbling in modern technologies such as those provided by today’s hyperscalers. Enterprises are aware now, more than ever, that they will be hard pressed to remain idle in a world where digital product and services delivery are becoming the new, main revenue streams in their respective industries.
In this paper we break down the case for change as we show that this vast portfolio of applications need not have any applications left behind as we guide you on how to begin your journey of transformation. Through a few major topic areas, from the executive pitch to business metrics and what an execution plan example looks like, we hope to advise the technical executive reader on key points and pivots an organization can make as it navigates change with a complex set of technology to maintain.

Dr. Mik Kersten is an independent technology strategist and researcher best known as the creator of the Flow Framework and author of the bestselling book Project to Product and the new book Output to Outcome. Mik founded Tasktop and led the company as CEO until its acquisition by Planview in 2022. Mik started his career as a Research Scientist at Xerox PARC as part of the team that created the first aspect-oriented programming language. He then completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, where he pioneered the integration of software development and collaboration tools. That work became the foundation for Tasktop and helped shape the emerging field of Value Stream Management. Before shifting his focus to flow, outcomes, and organizational modularity, Mik wrote more than one million lines of open-source code that are still in use today. His work now focuses on helping leaders transition from output- driven management to outcome-driven operating models, enabling organizations to harness the power of AI in a human-centric way.
