Which comes first – Business Architecture or Business Capabilities?
Business Capabilities, Business Capability Models, Business Capability Heat Maps, Capability Flows, Capability Footprints, System Capabilities, and I can, of course, list many other "capability" oriented phrases and ideas. The fundamental question we will address in this Webinar is, what is a "Capability," and is it a result of a solid Business Architecture Framework and Methodology, or is it more of a "declarative" used for some business or technology purpose.
I believe you know that our answer is the former – it is actually an "output" – a result – of a Business Architecture. The primary result of a Business Architecture is business-aligned capabilities, developed through the Business Architecture that will enable Business Strategy. And of course, we will have two states – the required Capabilities needed to enable that Business Strategy and the "as is" Capabilities the business now has as its current assets.
This webinar will begin with a comprehensive definition of a Business Capability and its components, an example of analyzing an organization's Business Capability Ability, and what organizations need to do to develop Business Capabilities through solid analysis techniques.
