As a recap, we defined the case for change and
vision for the IM function for Ecopetrol
7
And identified the hypothesis of root causes that
drive inefficiencies in IM
Identified Pain Points Root Causes
• Finding information is time consuming and sometimes not easily accomplished
in a timely fashion • Lack of governance leads to
• No single point of information and process validation (e.g. currently there is not misalignment of accountabilities and
a centralized entity checking for consistency from all relevant stakeholders responsibilities
when gathering official information)
• No clear guidelines in place to determine adequate management for individual • Lack of integration and alignment
IM-related projects (e.g. who should be responsible for an IM related project between the businesses, IM group, IT,
such as GITEP and why?) and vendors
• IM group solves help-desk type requests related to troubleshooting systems
(e.g. IM group serves teams on a per “ticket” basis, more transactional and
• No clear responsibility over certain
manual in nature)
• There is no clarity on who is the responsible / point of contact for certain supporting activities leaves IM group
support activities (e.g. requests for licensing are managed via various channels as default provider of support,
and no clarity on responsibility to schedule training courses for IT vendors) consuming a lot of time
• Legacy processes led to lack of clarity of who should be responsible for • Focus on transactional activities
technical document management within VEP (document management process prevents IM group to dedicate time to
is standardized across ECP) high value-added roles

We believe a “Federated” operating model is
appropriate for Ecopetrol
Autonomy, complexity, best of breed Simplicity, efficiency, standardization

Governance
Autonomy – Close structural alignment to Facilitates cross functional knowledge & Long term Speed – Efficient
the business best practice transfer deployment of common resources
Benefits
Short term speed Balances business alignment of Simplicity – Process efficiencies and
functions with standards and speed standardization of business information
delivery
Expensive & lack of corporate focus; less Without clear accountabilities defined Limited ability to offer differentiated
able to capture scale benefits across the between functions, there is potential for services
Limitedtoability to offer differentiated
the business
Risks enterprise slower decision making services to the business
Large efforts to facilitate Information Even if accountabilities are set, must
sharing & integration align incentives or set program to ensure
sustainability of the model

We worked with ECP groups to adjust the industry-
based RACIs for each operating model sub-process
RACI Methodology
Major three steps

1 2 Review and refine RACIs 3
Develop RACIs based on industry Present RACIs
with Groups
standards to extended team
(break out by sub-process)
• Define group of sub-processes • Understand definition and scope • Present defined RACIs to other
and key activities based on: of key roles: groups
> Define IM & IT as two separate roles
> Industry Activity Dictionary regardless of where they sit > Confirm clear IM and IT roles
> Define Governance entities (e.g. distinction
> Ecopetrol’s specific activities
Decision Review Board) > Socialize other parties /
• Set key roles taking part on • Validate completeness of sub- stakeholders involvement
Information Management process activities based on two
activities (e.g. Functional principles: • Agree on deployment and
Owner, IM, IT, etc.) > Include key activities for collaboration flow of every
exhaustiveness stakeholder at the defined
• Design a Governance structure > Maintain a manageable degree of
granularity
extent
to ensure ownership for each
• Define general roles & • Establish next steps and
activity
responsibilities for each key owners for detailed reviews of
• Propose how each role activity: RACIs (i.e. review what the “R”

We applied standards definition to assign roles &
responsibilities for each activity

As a result, we achieved agreement upon IM and IT
roles distinction - going forward we face challenges
Accomplishments Challenges
• Regardless of where role sits (e.g. GTD or • “Right people on the right place” - People
IT), the team agreed to division of skills are not properly aligned to successfully
responsibilities for areas posing conflict execute proposed split of activities (e.g.
technical specialist does not have wide
• Ensured each sub-process was defined
functional knowledge of Seisworks)
exhaustively balancing the right level of
granularity at the activity level • Overcoming the preconception of “who is
accountable for what today” hampers the
• Defined responsibilities beyond IM/IT gaining allocation of responsibilities to the most
consensus on the required involvement from adequate party
other parties / stakeholders
• “No clarity of agreed information
• Incorporated governance structure into management process” - Beyond IM and IT,
detailed activities to solve for areas of shared mainly businesses, do not always participate
responsibilities and lack of ownership with the required level of involvement
• Validated operating model activities and • Misaligned incentives of IM / IT teams results
supporting RACIs with active collaboration of in inconsistent levels of engagement and
IM and IT team members willingness to work collaboratively

Next Steps
• Prepare implementation plan laying out key activities required to stand-up new
organization and proposed model. Practical suggestions that will include:
> Communications plan
> Detailed definition of roles and responsibilities
> Plan to bridge capabilities gap
> Definition and launch of key processes such as Demand Management, design of Architecture,
and solution delivery (using the methodology used to define information management roles
and link to CSC)
• Socialize recommendation with key stakeholders (e.g. Business VPs and Managers)
and get buy-in
