Business Capability Map Template
Info-Tech Research Group 2
How to use this template
Follow Info-Tech’s three-step process to build your business capability map:
1. Build your level-0 business capability map (use the template on the next slide as a starting point). This
map should represent your organization’s “business on a page.”
• Adjust the map as necessary to accurately represent your organization’s capabilities.
2. Identify the capabilities which enable the specific value streams that you want to analyze.
3. Build out level-1 business capability maps for the level-0 capabilities that enable the value stream
you’ve selected.
• Example level-1 maps have been supplied.
4. Define and list your organization’s capabilities (see the last slide for an example list).
A business capability mapping process should begin at the highest level view of an
organization, the level 0, which presents the entire business on a page. Use this Business
Capability Map Template to create a visual representation of your business capabilities.
