BCS Event: Building Effective Problem Solving Groups


February 12th 2013 - Building Effective Problem Solving Groups


Synopsis:


The demand for increasingly sophisticated IT applications is leading to complex systems that are interconnected with other complex systems. This in turn is driving an increase in the number of difficult performance and stability problems.


The cause of such problems is frequently obscure, which makes it difficult to allocate the problem to the correct technology team. Consequently the problem bounces from team to team, as each in turn proves that their technology is not to blame.


Many organisations are aware of this issue and are tackling it by creating a service-orientated Problem Solving Group (PSG).


In this presentation we cover the need for PSGs, the benefits they deliver, their structure and strategies to optimise their effectiveness.


Running Time: 55 minutes - 40 Mins presentation plus 15 Mins for questions
