From Description Description To<br />

environment.<br />

Perform systematic monitoring and scanning of the<br />

������������ �������� ����������� �� �������� ��������<br />

technologies that have the potential to create value<br />

(e.g., by realising the enterprise strategy, optimising<br />

costs, avoiding obsolescence, and better enabling<br />

enterprise and IT processes). Monitor the marketplace,<br />

competitive landscape, industry sectors, and legal<br />

and regulatory trends to be able to analyse<br />

emerging technologies or innovation ideas in the<br />

enterprise context.<br />

1. Evaluate identified technologies, considering aspects such as time to reach maturity, inherent risk of new technologies (including potential legal<br />

implications), fit with the enterprise architecture, and potential to provide additional value.<br />

2. Identify any issues that may need to be resolved or proven through a proof-of-concept initiative.<br />

3. Scope the proof-of-concept initiative, including desired outcomes, required budget, time frames and responsibilities.<br />

4. Obtain approval for the proof-of-concept initiative.<br />

5. Conduct proof-of-concept initiatives to test emerging technologies or other innovation ideas, identify any issues, and determine whether further<br />

implementation or roll-out should be considered based on feasibility and potential ROI.<br />
