“The single most important challenge facing managers today is having to do more with less”

• Value is defined as a fair return or the equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged.

• Value is represented by the relationship:

Value ≈ Function/Resources

• Function is measured by the performance requirements of the customer, and resources are measured in the materials, labour, price, time, etc., required to accomplish that function.

• Value for Money is defined in UK legislation

• If a bridge designer is educated by a Concrete manufacturer then the bridge will be made predominately from which of the following materials ?

• Steel• Stone • Carbon Fibre

• Concrete • Will this bridge be the optimal Value design solution ?

• What will it look like ?

• Why 90 metres?• Who wrote standard which included the 90 metre rule ?

• Is there another standard that reduces the 90 metres ?• Yes the TIA569 and its 100 work area 35 metre rule• How many of you are aware of the TIA569 standard ?

o written by an academic• Where did you get your structured cabling training ?

• Is Category 6A a business requirement for cabling ?

• What's the Function ?o To support Ethernet speeds up to 10Gbpso To do this only Category6 is required

Value ≈ Function/Resources

Worst Value ≈ Function/Cat6A

Best Value ≈ Function/Cat6

Meeting the business requirements

John Laban

• Function is support of Ethernet speeds up to 10Gbps• Category 6 supports 10Gbps for up to 55 metres• Worldwide 99.4% of all Data Centre cables are < 55m

• Wind Catchers

• Are Mosques cool ?

• Do Mosques use DX ?

Why are energy hungry DX cooling systems used in Turkey

• Which switches are the most expensive

• Which servers are the most expensive

• Why use the most expensive products

• Manufacturer Brand Status adds no Value to a business

• ICT is just a cost of doing business

Why are expensive ICT products dominant in Turkey

Engineering perfection in Turkey will be reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
