Study Notes
Transformation and Digital Mastery
- Digital mastery is associated with a 26% higher profitability rate, but is rare.
- Many companies fail to develop adequate architecture.
- Many companies fail to align their business vision with digital technologies.
- Managing transformation involves managing current capabilities, adjusting architecture to reflect transformation, and implementing the transformation.
Mapping and Architecture
- Mapping the architecture is resource-intensive and complex.
- Modern firms are complex with IT everywhere.
- Digital transformation is mandatory but complex.
- Well-defined business architecture integrates new technologies, enabling accurate transformations and supporting strategic goals.
Foundational Elements of Business Architecture
- IT Strategy: Understands how IT supports objectives. Unique activities are central for value propositions. Successful strategies are focused, requiring trade-offs.
- First Order: Consistent vision
- Second Order: Reinforcing with other industries or services
- Third Order: Optimized coordination and information exchange
- Business Capabilities (3 types): Core (essential functions), Supporting (enhance core, not value add), Differentiating (provide advantage).
- Value Streams: Identify value delivery, efficiency, and opportunities for continuous improvement. Value streams visualize the creation, delivery, and capture of value. Key components include value-adding activities, support activities, inputs/outputs, and stakeholders.
- IT Processes: Standardizing tasks enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves outcomes. Processes should be consistent, scalable, and accountable to avoid gaps and overlaps.
Business Architecture Framework (TOGAF)
- TOGAF provides a framework for structuring, managing, and implementing Enterprise Architecture.
- The Architecture Development Method (ADM) is a sequential approach to creating and managing architectures.
- Key components are the architecture content framework and architecture capability framework.
Business Transformation Levels
- Localized Exploitation: IT solutions for isolated issues
- Internal Integration: Integrating IT systems and processes across departments
- Business Process Redesign: Fundamental rethinking of business processes
- Business Network Redesign: Redefining relationships within a business network
- Business Scope Redefinition: Redefining a company's role in the market
