TBM Councilは、世界中から19,000人以上の多様な専門家が参加する、オープンなグローバルコミュニティです。このコミュニティには経営陣、IT部門のリーダー、財務担当者などが含まれ、4,000を超える組織が参画しています。TBM Councilの目的は、TBMによって企業のビジネス成長を加速することであり、それを達成するために、教育、協働、標準化、オープンエコシステムの四つの柱を基に、各組織のテクノロジー投資からの価値を最大化する支援を行っています。

Red Hat built the world’s largest enterprise open-source software company, growing into a multi-billion-dollar firm before being acquired by IBM Corp. This open-source heritage often placed the value of technology in the product and engineering realm rather than with IT. Thus, not surprisingly, Red Hat’s TBM journey started with a new CFO wanting to know why IT costs were so high. Through the TBM framework and discipline, Red Hat IT successfully delivered cost transparency of all IT spend and then became a model for technology spend planning and forecasting. The IT team added the FinOps discipline to its capabilities and is now managing a broad hybrid cloud portfolio. However, TBM and FinOps have remained in the realm of IT only, until now. Red Hat’s current CIO, Jim Palermo, is driving TBM, FinOps, and Enterprise Agile Management across the company based on IT’s success and through the lens of value stream management. in this session, Jim will walk through Red Hat’s TBM journey and its current transformation to an operational business architecture framework built on value streams aligned to business outcomes.
