RESEARCH AND PRACTICE AREAS:

Innovation: • market trends, new business opportunities identified and

addressed by leveraging IT and emerging technologies.

Process transformation: • process assessment, improvement through lean and adaptive

process design, and e-Workflow enaction. • implementation of service-oriented processes (like ITIL

ISO20000).• integrated product/ process development.

Enterprise architecture planning and execution: • portfolio development relating business goals to operational

needs and IT enablement. • traceability monitoring and information for decision making. • information management and assurance for regulatory

compliance, management of information assets, audit, classification, destruction, protection, etc.
