Why A Vision?

    there.

    organization to buy into the new direction
    dictated by the vision.

15
AOL TIME WARNERS VISION
  • To transform how people throughout the world
    acquire information, are entertained, purchase a
    full range of goods and services and communicate
    with each other across international boundaries.
  • The Vision is anchored in two fundamental beliefs
    and anchored by a strong foundation
  • Belief 1 - New deliver systems enabled by
    technology will alter consumer habits and
    relationships and, as a result, their business
    dramatically. Thus, boundaries between products,
    business, and services blur - CONVERGANCE
  • Belief 2 - Putting all the pieces together that
    relate to this convergence of products and
    services will enable them not only to better
    manage, but to drive their own destiny.
  • Anchor A foundation that begins with a unique
    combination of technology, content and an
    expanding relationship with consumers throughout
    the world.

17
CHALLENGES FACING AOL
  • Creativity An abundance of creativity, but
    its not even flow. Employees are NOT taken
    seriously and allowed to become an integral part
    of the creative process.
  • Customer Focus - Not a problem. AOL and Time
    Warner before the merger were all about customer
    service. Everything they respectively built,
    stated, created and affected was based upon the
    consumer.
  • Agility Not a problem. AOL Time Warner is at
    the forefront because theyre the first ones in
    and the last ones out.
  • Teamwork. Its not there yet. Too many
    divisions within the company. Covergence is only
    at its inception phase. Manager Top heavy. Too
    many walls and boundaries.
  • Integrity -
  • Diversity Not there yet. High turnover rate.
  • Responsibility Right on! Foundations created
    for the community. They give back and do so in a
    big way Creates company consumer awareness

18
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
  • Need to create communication lines that are easy
    to use and capable of transmitting large amounts
    of information quickly and efficiently not only
    for the customers sake but within the company in
    an effort to converge
  • Its essential that AOL constantly be on the
    cutting edge of Information Technological
    advances, products and services.
  • Its the tool needed to move them towards their
    shared Vision plan.
  • Competition is fierce and as the company expands
    into new markets both foreign and domestically,
    IT will play a much more important role within
    the company
  • AOL is in its most critical stage new merger
  • Look at other ways to break down communication
    problems with IT
  • Currently AOLTW uses email as its main source
    of communication
  • They expanded on that recently by converting all
    entities email programs to an AOLs email format
  • Securitized passcode changes every minute
  • In so doing, employees can now access their own
    and company related email from home and on the
    road without the need of a company laptop computer
