Rachel asked Alan:
"On question 13 I remembering going over this in class but I can not find it anywhere in my notes or on the class slides. Is there anything you can help with or any suggestions of where I can find it?"
I hope I'm answering the right question. IT descended from Finance and Accounting. In"old-style" organizations, IT is headed by finance. This is a problem since Finance doesn't usually get into the operational details that are so crucial for tactical decision making.
The IT consulting companies like Deloitte Consulting and Accenture were spun-off from the big accounting firms like Deloitte and Anderson.
Rachel further asked: Lastly on question 22 you give a hint to look around "imagine a world without software slides" but I cannot find that slide anywhere. I thought that was from the Evolution of Process Management lecture and I looked through that one and all of the other lectures but have not been able to find it.
Yes, that was "Sacred Rule Number 3". In any process change, before we introduce IT into automating the process, we should try really hard to see if we can make a simpler process without using IT at all. We then contrast it with an IT assisted solution.
I hope this helps.

What does it mean to "go vanilla"?
My understanding is that you do not want to customize the package, but make it more generalized. More customization is bad.
