The IT executive should begin by mapping the major value streams from the internal IT users$$ or business departments$$ perspectives. Understanding where value is created in the organisation is vital for the success and performance of the casino. The mapping should proceed by identifying the major activities that IT are involved in$,$ and the value IT contributes to each major activity. Value stream mapping typically exposes where waste can be eliminated, and improvements can be made. The mapping also highlights what IT expertise is needed at every instance in the value streams, where bottlenecks occur across the IT teams and how the teams need to coordinate work for value creation purposes instead of individual team agendas. Measuring the IT staff in relation to value streams would help to eliminate the problems caused by the current IT team structure. In addition, when IT staff and resources are structured toward value streams, which change as the needs of the organisation change, a value stream structure enables IT flexibility so that the casino can make the most of new business prospects.

The IT executive should begin by dividing the IT department into more teams. So$,$ the IT executive should divide the development team into the development Java team and development Python team, the server and network operations teams into the HP server team, Dell server team, Cisco network team and VMware network team, the database operations team into the Oracle database team and the SAP HANA database team and the general operations team into general operations team one and two. This will allow the IT executive to set specific goals, agendas and objectives for each team and each team can focus on achieving those goals, agendas and objectives without distraction. These further divisions will result in smaller teams which the IT executive thinks will be easier to manage and will result in cohesive, independent teams that excel in their own space. The smaller teams will be able to coordinate within each team efficiently and quickly because it is easier for a smaller team to connect, to take on new tasks, know what their teammates are doing, where their IT product is going and how best to utilise it$.$
