* SOX stands for Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael Oxley, who drafted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
* To protect investors by improving the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;accuracy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;reliability&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; of corporate disclosures. &lt;br /&gt;
* The Sarbanes-Oxley Act created new standards for corporate &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;accountability&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; as well as new penalties for acts of wrongdoing. &lt;br /&gt;
* It changes how corporate boards and executives must interact with each other and with corporate auditors. &lt;br /&gt;
* It removes the defense of &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t aware of financial issues&amp;quot; from CEOs and CFOs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====SOX Key Sections⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 201 outlines Prohibited Auditor Activities.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 302 describes the CEO&amp;#039;s and CFO&amp;#039;s new responsibilities regarding corporate reports.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 404 addresses the Management Assessment of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Internal Controls&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 409 outlines Real Time Disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 802 describes criminal penalties for altering documents.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 806 describes whistle blower protection.&lt;br /&gt;
* Section 807 describes criminal penalties for fraud.&lt;br /&gt;

* COBIT 5 helps enterprises create optimal value from IT by maintaining a balance between realising benefits and optimising risk levels and resource use.&lt;br /&gt;
* COBIT 5 enables information and related technology to be governed and managed in a holistic manner for the entire enterprise, taking in the full end-to-end business and functional areas of responsibility, considering the IT-related interests of internal and external stakeholders.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;COBIT 5 provides a comprehensive framework that assists enterprises to achieve their goals and deliver value through effective governance and management of enterprise IT.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====COBIT 5 Principles⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;table cellpadding=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;90%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

			&amp;lt;td rowspan=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[File:ClipCapIt-141212-134257.PNG]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Source:  COBIT® 5, figure 2. © 2012 ISACA®  All rights reserved.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;Principle 1. Enterprises exist to create value for their stakeholders.&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;Principle 2. COBIT 5 does not focus only on the ‘IT function’, addresses the governance and management of information from an enterprise wide, end-to-end perspective&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;Principle 3. COBIT 5 aligns with the latest relevant other standards and frameworks used by enterprises.&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;Principle 4. Systemic governance and management through interconnected enablers: Processes, Organisational structures, Principles, Policies and Frameworks, ...&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;Principle 5. The COBIT 5 framework makes a clear distinction between governance and management.&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
		&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Enterprises of all sizes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, whether commercial, not-for-profit or in the public sector, can benefit from COBIT 5.&lt;br /&gt;

====ITIL⌘====&lt;br /&gt;
based on An Introductory Overview of ITIL® 2011&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ITIL&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (IT Infrastructure Library) provides a framework of Best Practice guidance for IT Service Management.&lt;br /&gt;
* It provides a framework for the governance of IT, the ‘service wrap’, and focuses on the continual measurement and improvement of the quality of IT service delivered, from both a business and a customer perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
=====ITIL Service⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;service&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a means of delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific costs and risks.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Service management&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: A set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value to customers in the form of services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=====ITIL Key General Roles⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Process owner&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Accountable for ensuring that a process is fit for purpose, i.e. that it is capable of meeting its objectives; that it is performed according to the agreed and documented standard; and that it meets the aims of the process definition&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Process manager&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Accountable for operational management of a process. There may be several process managers for one process and the process manager role is often assigned to the same person carrying out the process owner role&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Process practitioner&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Responsible for carrying out one or more process activities. The process practitioner role may be combined with the process manager role, if appropriate&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Service owner&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Responsible to the customer for the initiation, transition, and ongoing maintenance and support of a particular service; and accountable to the IT director or service management director for the delivery of a specific IT service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Service Strategy⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Strategic thinking&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; aims to define a plan that, using a clear set of principles, will provide a solution to a business problem in a particular situation. &lt;br /&gt;
* It is focused on the value to the customer and identifies strategic assets that will be used for competitive advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;IT strategy manager&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; formulates and communicates the IT strategy and ensures elements are in place for successful execution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======The 4 P&amp;#039;s of ITIL Service Strategy⌘======&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Perspective&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The distinctive vision and direction&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Position&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The basis on which the provider will compete&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Plan&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; How the provider will achieve its vision&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Pattern&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The fundamental way of doing things – distinctive patterns in decisions and actions over time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=====Service value⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
This is defined in terms of the customers’ perceived business outcomes and described in terms of the combination of two components:&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Service utility&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;What the customer gets in terms of outcomes supported and/or constraints removed&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Service warranty&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;How the service is delivered and its fitness for use, in terms of availability, capacity, continuity and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Service value also includes the associated concepts of services as assets, value networks, value creation and value capture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Quality Frameworks⌘===&lt;br /&gt;
====BPMM⌘====&lt;br /&gt;
based on Business Process Maturity Model Specification, V1.0&lt;br /&gt;
* BPMM is divided into five maturity levels that represent different states through which an organization is transformed as its processes and capability are improved.&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:ClipCapIt-140903-124328.PNG]]&lt;br /&gt;
=====Process Areas⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* Maturity levels 2-5 are composed of process areas that collectively enable the capability to be achieved at that level. &lt;br /&gt;
* Each process area is designed to achieve specific goals in creating, supporting, or sustaining the organizational state characteristic of the level.&lt;br /&gt;
=====BPMM Maturity Levels 1-2⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;

=====What Is Six Sigma?⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:07_SixSigmaDiagram.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six Sigma is a problem-solving methodology that helps improve business and organizational operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====The Six Sigma Scale⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
The Six Sigma scale shows how well a vital feature performs compared to its requirements. The higher the sigma score, the more efficient the feature is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;table  border=&amp;quot;1px&amp;quot; cellpadding=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;Percent Defects (%)&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;Percent Success&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;691,462&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;69&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;31&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;308,538&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;31&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;69&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;93.3&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;99.38&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;233&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;0.023&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;99.977&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;0.00034&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;99.99966&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=====Six Sigma Principles⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
Six Sigma is based on a handful of basic principles, and these principles create the entire Six Sigma arrangement. Here are Six Sigma’s fundamental principles:&lt;br /&gt;
* All outcomes and results are determined by inputs with some degree of uncertainty.&lt;br /&gt;
* To change or improve results, you have to focus on the inputs, modify them, and control them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Variation is everywhere, and it degrades consistent, good performance. Your job is to find it and minimize it!&lt;br /&gt;
* Valid measurements and data are required foundations for consistent, breakthrough improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
* Only a critical few inputs have significant effect on the output. Concentrate on the critical few.&lt;br /&gt;
* Every decision and conclusion has risk, which must be weighed against the context of the decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====The DMAIC Method of Six Sigma⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;DMAIC&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) project method is a formalized problem-solving process of Six Sigma. &lt;br /&gt;
* It’s made-up of five steps to apply to any procedure of a business to improve effectiveness.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Define&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Set the context and objectives for your improvement project.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Measure&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Determine the baseline performance and capability of the process or system you’re improving.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Analyze&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Use data and tools to understand the cause-and-effect relationships in your process or system.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Improve&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Develop the modifications that lead to a validated improvement in your process or system.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Control&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Establish plans and procedures to ensure that your improvements are sustained.&lt;br /&gt;

* Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ) [poka yoke] is a Japanese term that means &amp;quot;mistake-proofing&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* A poka-yoke is any mechanism in manufacturing process that helps an equipment operator &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;avoid mistakes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
* Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur&lt;br /&gt;

=====Lean - what it is and how it works⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ClipCapIt-140904-120149.PNG]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Lean thinking &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;focuses on value for the customer by eliminating waste&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in an end-to-end process. &lt;br /&gt;
* It establishes flow and implements a &amp;quot;one-piece&amp;quot; pull system. &lt;br /&gt;
* It strives to achieve perfection through continuous improvement.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=====Key challenges⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* Lean provides excellent methods for process improvement, it is unable to easily provide visibility into a process and quantify the extent of the improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
* The lack of adequate measurements, missing targets, and key performance indicators (KPIs) are some of the biggest challenges during the Future State (To-Be) testing and implementation in many process improvement projects. &lt;br /&gt;
=====Value-added / Non-value-added activity⌘=====&lt;br /&gt;
* When a business process is analyzed using the Lean methodology, all process activities are classified into &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;value-adding (VA)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;non-value adding (NVA)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; activities. &lt;br /&gt;
* Typically, more than 50% of activities are non-value adding, or activities the customer is unwilling to pay for. &lt;br /&gt;
* These NVAs are further analyzed and summarized into the seven waste categories to assist the project team in finding a Lean solution for the future process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
