What went wrong with capability maps?
What went wrong with capability maps?
Ugly
Not very present outside
architecture communities
Few practical design patterns
IT centered view
Capabilities are central in organisation design,
business components
used as a modular “master structure”
of the enterprise.
Organisational- and IT structures
can be derived from this
master structure.
“Modular business components.”
Designed for Digital, J.Ross et.al
What we want to change…
What we are able to do by
orchestrating people and
assets.

Capability
Track Maintenance
Needed for product creation
Well-defined outputs
Modularisation of enterprise
A structure we need and use
to perform our capabilities.
Asset
Machines, Buildings
Cohesion (“together what belongs together”)
Together what belongs
together
Many interactions between
people and software
applications within a
capability
Cohesion
Clear accountabilities
Avoid redundancy
Minimise interactions
between capabilities
Key to adaptivity
Loose coupling
Well defined outputs
Clear boundaries

When are groupings “good”?
By color?
By size?
By shape?
By species?
By object (powerlines)
“Belongs together” in an enterprise context
By activity (logistics)
Make an intentional design decision based on specialisation.

Involve broad range of business experts
Use common terminology
Make products visible
Use categories consciously
Clear outputs
Avoid overlaps
Focus on essence (3-4 levels, ~100 capabilities)
Align boxes well
Capability design patterns
Capability maps use
uncommon language and
are used exclusively by
Enterprise Architects.
Today
Capability Boards are
co-designed by all relevant
business experts and used
throughout the company
(for Management,
Organisation, Finance, IT,
Asset Management, ...)
Tomorrow
What went wrong with capability maps?
"Always based on information objects”
call everything “management”
(product-, claim-, money-, track-, train,...)
“Tennis Racket Management”?
“Tennis Ball Acceleration Management”?
Unnatural language
Capabilities present in IT only
Extremely weak biz & IT alignment
What we want to change…
"Always based on information objects”
Serve
Unnatural language
Capabilities present in IT only
Extremely weak biz & IT alignment
Based on highest cohesion
common
everywhere
Seamless busIT co-design
“Related activities our enterprise carries out.”
Process
Process/Activity = actually performed capability
Only ONE way to design boundaries (caps, orga, activities, processes)
Seamless connection of process management & capabilities & org design
