Business Driven Integration enabled by applying behavioralFactors (pyramid) to the Enterprise Planning Reference Model (cube)

Factors: Behavioral Dimensions to consider:

1. Business Function (up and down the functional and organizational chart, silos)

2. Cross Functional (within and across units)

Shared, common, core processes

3. Members and External Entities (suppliers, vendors) Point of View

Impact of Enterprise actions on customer satisfaction, service and relationships

4. Time to Market

Delivering new products and services to the market, to the customer

The Goal - Architect the relationships of interrelated parts

Value of Reference Models•Define & Reconcile Capability Processes

•Clarifies our Value Chains (Competitive Advantage)

•Reveals Gaps in Enterprise Core Competencies

•Identifies gaps in Value Streams (Solution Candidates)

•Encourages true alignment between Business & IT

•Ensures versioning and configuration control of the IEA ‘known space’

•Ensures Integrity in support of the strategy and tactics responding to the Vision, Mission, Objectives, et al

•Baselines for Change/Innovation Impacts

Holistic Approach – Common Sense Steps

Instill Learning Circle PracticesAdapted by Boettger 2007 to present

Integrated EA Reference ModelsSteps to Get There

1. Identification and Confirmation of Enterprise Asset Capabilities

2. Identify/Clarify Value Chains, Map Core Processes to the Enterprise Asset Capabilities

3. Create Solution Candidates (Value Streams) supporting Value Chains, thereby identifying Core Processes, Common

Processes, and Shared Services

4. Create Current and Future Behavior Models

a. Enterprise Business Architecture; Business Capability Models, as well as a Meta Model of the Business

b. Create Reference Model Set

5. Iterate and Reconcile Asset Capabilities to Reference Models

6. Evaluate Strategic Prioritization Regarding Needed Business Capability(ies)

7. Evaluate and Build Plans Reflecting Prioritization

8. Build Capability(ies) From Reconciled Results Per Prioritization

a. Solution Scenario Sets (Candidate Value Streams)

9. Generate Use Cases working with IT

10. Generate IT Workflows that reflect #8 and #9

Result: Realize a „known solution space‟ that is Accountable, Measurable, Reconcilable, Most Importantly Credible

Note: Frameworks are not meant to be “templates”, but rather prescriptive guides
