Enterprise Architecture Execution Framework

 Enterprise Architecture Execution Framework

Do You Have a Good Foundation for Execution?

Organizations that doesn't have a foundation that supports its strategy. Comments from senior executives like the following are indicators:

• Our business lacks agility-every new strategic initiative is like starting from scratch.

• IT is consistently a bottleneck.

• There are different business processes completing the same activity across the company, each with a different system.

• Information needed to make key product and customer decisions is not available.

To build an effective foundation for execution, companies must master three key disciplines:

Operating model : The operating model is the necessary level of business process integration and standardization for delivering goods and services to customers.

Enterprise architecture : Organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure, reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the company's operating model.

IT engagement model :  The IT engagement model is the system of governance mechanisms that ensure business and IT projects achieve both local and companywide objectives.
