What is regime management about ?

An ecosystem health is the result of various forces (cf Michael Porter's five forces : customers, suppliers, new entrants, substitutes, competitors). A little bit of governance through enforced regimes might help.

To avoid getting broken, the enterprise should recognize, respect and comply to these regimes without waiting for a dramatic catastrophe to command.

That's what regime [1] management [Fr : Régime Management] is about.

From a practice perspective, see what's going on in the oil industry and in the Mexico gulf. Regime management processes and procedures might have avoided a certain oil spill, had they been implemented in CRM (customer relationship management) systems and SCM (supply chain management) systems used by players of the oil industry.

Now in the IT services industry, to our knowledge, "Regime Management" has not been identified as a critical IT management practice yet [2]. A project to develop Regime Management practices for information technology services is launched.

Regime management for IT

On June 20. 2010, Paris, France, The Archilogy Institute launched an initiative to develop streams of regime [1] management practices for the IT services industry. 

The initiative should deliver a project of which governance should be inspired by Open Source, Wikipedia and Cloud Computing visions. 

« IT Regime Management (RegIT) » should name the stream of practices that would be open and creative.

• open because its builders and users are not bound to a central legal entity through contractual agreements such as a subscription or a labor contract but form a community where members are bound together through one-to-many arrangements which allows “sharing, reusing and remixing, - legally” intellectual outputs;
• creative because the one-to-many arrangements which bind builders and users of the practice together are based on Creative Commons contracts which have been crafted to foster creativity and innovation. 

A call for contributors, - builders and users-, is placed.

An open Linkedin group is created under the name of "Regime Management for enterprises and IT services".

Members of this group are invited to enable « sharing, reusing and remixing, -legally- », their intellectual outputs under Creative Commons licences.

Regime Management for business

The enterprise organisation should be transformed by what MIT Professor Andrew McAfee coined  as "emergent social freeform software" platform (web 2.0 technologies).

Innovation should be transformed by a renewal of intellectual properties (IP) commons and practices, which would be oriented towards "Sharing, Remixing and Reusing, - Legally-," [1] whereas traditional IP policies are oriented towards “Enclosing, Freezing and Prohibiting, - Legally-”[2] through patents and copyrights.

As a matter of fact, on CEO agenda, sustaining the various ecosystems where the enterprise grows and prospers and nurturing innovation which insure sustainable competitiveness should override searching for marginal and local productivity.

As a matter of fact, the last crisis called for a revision of corporate financial governance practices.

The oil spill in the Mexico gulf abruptly revealed the ontology of the next generation corporate governance (NGEN governance [3]) practices : regime management for business.

[3] Ngen Governance stands for Next GENeration GOVERNANCE. The attribute NGEN had been already used in the late nineties within the telecommunication industry to stress the sea change created by emerging Internet technologies at a time when B-ISDN (Broadband ISDN) was generally believed to be the future: for example, the label NGENOSS (next generation for operation support systems) that the telecom industry is using to designate advanced information systems was created at that time.

Five business requirements and five capabilities for the next generation IT Governance practices

For the next generation practices of IT governance, five practices capabilities should  help meet five business requirements.

Today, innovative agile information systems architecture such as service oriented architectures (SOA) and Cloud Computing  offers are believed to bring to both multinational companies (MNC) and small medium enterprises (SME) an unprecedented agility.
The promise should be fully met if current (in-house) IT governance practices and IT outsourcing governance practices are bridged together. Eventually, their merge would give birth to a next generation of IT governance practices.

The five business requirements for the next generation IT governance practices are

• Business requirement 1 : address at the same time business productivity, agility and innovation through IT usage
• Business requirement 2 : address in-house IT governance,
• Business requirement 3 : address outsourced IT governance,
• Business requirement 4 : fit to multinational corporation organisations,
• Business requirement 5 : fit to small and medium business organisations,

To meet these business requirements, a next generation IT governance practice should bear five capabilities

• IT governance practice capability 1: nurture massive usage of information systems and services
• IT governance practice capability 2 : bridge together in-house IT governance practices and outsourced IT governance practices,
• IT governance practice capability 3 : be supported by dedicated training tools and operation systems,
• IT governance practice capability 4 : allow upfront easy light/lean global implementation,
• IT governance practice capability 5 : be widely shared by players from both the client side and the supplier side, and be supported by the academic arena,

Etymology of archilogy

Archilogie is an old French word from the XV century, composed by the Greek words archein (pouvoir/power, you may think of mon-archy) and logos (discours/discourse). 

It can be noticed in a work titled "Archilogie Sophie" from Jacques Legrand, a clerk living in the XV century. "Archilogie Sophie" could be translated as "Sagesse du Discours Suprême" (Wisdom of Highest Discourse)

We prefer to translate archilogy by "discours du pouvoir" (discourse on power), that is governance . 

To invoke governance, cratology (Fr: cratologie) could have been used as well (for cratos, you may think of "démo-cratie", Ang: democracy) but cratology might have summoned French philosopher Michel Foucault's work, a little bit far from information technology governance (IT governance), the first discipline addressed by The Archilogy Institute.

Inspired by CIGREF

In 2008, CIGREF, a Paris based association of leading European companies, launched an international research programme to understand the dynamics of information systems usage within the enterprises and society. Called ISD (Information Systems Dynamics), the programme has adopted as motto " Understanding how the digital world transforms our lives and our businesses ".

ISD ambitions to mobilize collaboration from academics, enterprises and citizens through various means: workshops, open conferences and events, call for academic driven research projects, call for enterprises sponsorships and contributing projects, call for public comments through open moderated blogs, alliances,...

As a result, two workshops and an international conference were held in 2009. 

From these three events, we came back with some feelings which have inspired The Archilogy Institute seeding :

1. information technologies (IT), information systems (IS) and information should not be blurred but be addressed specifically;
2. IT governance, IS governance and information governance are highly dependant on cultural and social factors;
3. emerging intellectual properties management practices allowing "sharing, reusing, remixing, - legally" [1], seem to have been overlooked;
4. foresearching on IT usage should request that traditional frontiers (enterprises /citizens, academics/practitioners, workers/non workers, juniors/seniors) be lowered as much as possible;
5. to lower these frontiers, innovative intellectual property (IP) management might be a powerful enabler.

Last septembre, the ISD 2010 conference in Paris sent an encouragement toThe Archilogy Institute to pursue its mission. The conference explored how innovating information systems could transform the enterprise while inviting China as guest country. To the unprecedented challenge of Chinese companies that should have in the coming years comparable innovation capabilities and a market to western companies and access to volumes , Creative Open Innovation, a derivative of Open Innovation based on a balanced intellectual property, might be an answer.
