The forecast from technology’s promise book in chapter four presents the causes of the transformation power of information technology and e-commerce. Furthermore, program failure can result from many different aspects which I will be discussing. The information that I have acquired from reading this chapter identified factors that are responsible for project outsourcing, which includes Biometrics, Wireless, Web 2.0, Global access, organizational culture and artificial intelligence.

According to the chapter the understanding that I gather focus on the unity of how e-commerce is process of "paradigm" in the shift of information technology with system improvements. Additionally, the chapter helps to summarizes various aspects and techniques of Information System how it affect technology improvements. Although, there have been some interesting discussions throughout this chapter which will increase the e-commerce with the different aspects of IT. At the same time, it will help to defend how project will transform business and other open source software that is growing tremendously due to the vast increase with new technologies. However, I believe that the chapter main focus is identifying how Information Technology System can be utilized, thus by accepting the expected mind set of Society Moves Online which I have found to be a key success factor.



Delphi Process Method

Delphi Process Method
Jan’e Colahar
August 28, 2010


The innovation that I would like to discuss that was identified in class is the Delphi process method.
In other words Delphi process method can be related to your personality type which role will make you happier. Although innovation typically adds value, yet it may have a negative effect. As a system analyst a key challenge that I observe in innovation is maintaining a balance between process and product innovations. Firstly, the perspective of Delphi process method can be performed as a group or individually. In other words, as an individual contributor I think the ability to become proficient in one particular area of expertise is extremely important to me. As a result of being an individual contributor, I can focus on a specialized area, thus by specialization in a desired area of technology which will translates to job security.
According to the article the Delphi method's flexibility is evident in how it has been used. It is a method for structuring a group communication process to facilitate group problem solving and to structure models (Linstone & Turloff, 1975). The method can also be used as a judgment, decision-aiding or forecasting tool (Rowe & Wright, 1999), and can be applied to program planning and administration (Delbeq, Van de Ven, & Gustafson, 1975). The Delphi method can be used when there is incomplete knowledge about a problem or phenomena (Adler & Ziglio, 1996; Delbeq et al., 1975). The method can be applied to problems that do not lend themselves to precise analytical techniques but rather could benefit from the subjective judgments of individuals on a collective basis (Adler & Ziglio, 1996) and to focus their collective human intelligence on the problem at hand (Linstone & Turloff, 1975).

1. How can we hasten the process?
This process can be hastened by applying the appropriate planning.
2. How does open or closed collaboration affect the results?
The perspective of how open or closed collaboration affect the Delphi results relates to:
Changes in the product development
Product design which relates to lack of communication
Management that is not open to new ideas
The Delphi approach has the means of attaining consensus in methodology of using different techniques which consists of financial and technical.
(1.) Technical: From a technical perspective, the Delphi method failures consist of lack of management skills, upon which they make unjustified assumption and ignore of valuable data from existing systems.
(2.) Financial: The Delphi method is likely to improve financially if the group follows the strategic planning that is been implemented by the stakeholders.

After analyzing future innovations it is clear to me that with the right planning, future technologies will be created that we cannot even imagine. I have tried to imagine what would exist in the next 10 to 15 years. Developments of current and future innovation technology today are not difficult to foresee. The proposed timeframe would be the year 2030 when the robots technology will be analyzed. Nevertheless, we can carefully articulate that there certainly will be thoughtful innovations in many current and future technologies. These areas include cloud computing, biotechnology, energy production, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Even though 25% of human problems cannot to be fixed by the new technology of the future innovation due to their political qualities, yet it is possible that 75% of them could be considerably improved with the new and future technological innovations.

Drafted: By Jan'e Colahar

Cool Web 2.0 Tool#2: Codeita-Cloud Based Web Development App

Two Features:
1. Accounts are created at no cost.
2. The ability to share projects with anyone.
The codeita strategic decisions concerns general direction, such as long term goals, and values. The codeita which includes tactical, operational and functional decision focuses on building a new web development application; hence they will be building at a lower developed cost with greater quality. These decisions are the least planned and most imaginative; they are the most risky and of the most uncertain outcome, to a certain extent because they reach so far into the development potential. Needless to say, without decisions of consequences that involve taking risks, a project cannot develop or advance.

As a result of these strategic decisions and the codeita web development, this project will be of vast importance based on the approach that has been acquired to develop this new application. In conclusion, the ability to share project with everyone will produce a low priced product, gain market share or produce a high priced product for a technology market would be a great strategic decision for codeita.

1. Operational: The operational value for codeita web development application has immediate impact and usually lowers in cost. In other words, operational decisions are most likely to be preprogrammed, and should be recognize in all the business policy manuals.

2. Tactical: The Tactical aspect for codeita web development application tends focus more with strategic decisions that reflects medium range that has average significance, through moderate cost. In essence, managers must take notes of lesser decisions, by using tactical, functional and operational approach, all of which are important to the organization's interests.

3. Functional: The functional value for codeita relies on strategic decision which includes new product development, legal strategy and information technology management. On the other hand, without a functional procedure in place the codeita tool will not be successful with the new development tool.

In Alexander N. Christakis book, "How People Harness Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-laboratories of Democracy” in his methodology he has demonstrated an example of how the use of Structured Design Process (SDP) can beneficial to the manufacturing of new energy efficient. After reading this case study I appreciate the futures in energy efficiency to a great extent. This case study was very interesting to comprehend since the energy efficient usage has been a growing trend in this country, and has taken over the unified concern politically throughout this country "go green".
Furthermore, one of Christakis focal point is that SDP which has the capability of benefiting from energy saving which includes various scenarios. First, the ability to accomplish a task in a few days that would normally be completed in months; second, design can be completed faster with better quality and will reduce the overall market price; third, production will greatly improve and less waste will be accumulated.
This emphasis on energy efficiency will also help to reduce the gap on energy consumption (Trend, 128). In my opinion, by implementing a healthy environment is more important than anything else. Overall, by using the SDP with the energy efficiency it will help to increase the overall functional aspect of energy environment both now and in the future. In other words, I look forward to the future energy efficiency and my future Smart home to work together. As a result, they would likely to assume a larger role in cooking and other household chores; hence, by allowing less work for me while I am away at work or on vacation.
(1.) Financial: The financials aspect for this energy efficiency if utilizes properly this process will be advantageous and the Return of investment (ROI) will be beneficial.
(2.) Economical: The energy efficiency can be economically successful in more affordable and quality equipment. Additionally, by adapting the energy efficiency it will lower utility bills due to the usages of alternative energy efficient facilities and equipment.

The key trend that I was mostly interested in is the “Increasing globalization continues to affect the way we work, collaborate, and communicate”. This key trend has identified various techniques that people uses to communicate with each other.

In essence, with the growing trend technology some people use mobiles, email, and telephone as the form of communication. In my perspective, this trend will continue to increase in all populations and will also help to create a unique globalization throughout the future generation.
