Introduction To Business Architecture – Part 1Alan McSweeney
This is the first of a proposed four part introduction to Business Architecture. It is intended to focus on activities associated with Business Architecture work and engagements.
Business change without a target business architecture and a plan is likely to result in a lack of success and even failure. An effective approach to business architecture and business architecture competency is required to address effectively the pressures on businesses to change. Business architecture connects business strategy to effective implementation and operation:
• Translates business strategic aims to implementations
• Defines the consequences and impacts of strategy
• Isolates focussed business outcomes
• Identifies the changes and deliverables that achieve business success
Enterprise Architecture without Solution Architecture and Business Architecture will not deliver on its potential. Business Architecture is an essential part of the continuum from theory to practice.
Narrated copy of "Project Portfolio Selection" presentation made to the PMI Symposium 2008 in Ottawa. Puts forward a scoring model for selecting projects which are best aligned against organizational strategies and goals.

Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
To design business models of the future requires a comprehensive set of skills. The skills are diverse in nature and range from the typical business analysis delivery focused requirements management tools and techniques to the more business architect MBA style and business model innovation techniques.
But how can we leverage the two skillsets to create more cohesion in the industry?
Where is the overlap and is there a career path between the two?
What about the frameworks that support these two disciplines?
This presentation will deal with:
Shifts occurring in the market;
Where the business architect and the business analyst provide value individually;
Where the business architecture and the business analyst provide value together;
How are the disciplines merging; and what the future could look like.
This is a class presentation on the Emerging Technology Analysis Canvas (ETAC), a framework to assess emerging technologies. It was created for students in a course on emerging technologies.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

• In Digital Age Business (M. Rehberger)
– Essential is not the triumph and fair fight, but the complete
and utter destruction of the competitors, by attracting and
stealing all their customers, and, as an inevitable
consequence, world dominance.
• Winner takes all
Wake Up Call
5. • 83% of companies do not have a bare minimum of ’strategy’ (differentiation defined)

6. Comparison of Organisations’ Capability to
Leverage IT, by 90/10 Rule (by M. Rehberger)
Typical/Average (90%) Best (10%)
Management team understands, in
principle and practise, how IT can be used
to create competitive advantage
Seriously challenged Totally
Strategy process is continuous No, strategy process is a ceremonial
activity repeated in intervals of 1-5 years
Yes, strategic thinking is everyday work,
and it is being updated as new
information about competitive
environment unfolds
Management team includes IT view in
strategic analysis
No. IT is considered as an operational
aspect, to be addressed in lower levels of
organisation
Yes, management team seeks
opportunities to improve business
performance by orders of magnitude
with IT
Management team leads technology
investments, ensuring they implement a
balanced, high performing asset
No, (design of) technology investments
are delegated to unit, departmental, or
even personal level, creating a low
performing, costly liability (traditional IT
legacy)
Yes, strategy defines a framework of
development priorities and
dependencies, directly from the targeted
business capabilities
Experimental development is delivering
valuable results
No, experiments are poorly coordinated
and managed, they seldom lead to high
performing operational processes
Yes, opportunistic experimental R&D is
actively pursued and carefully managed,
there is a robust process carrying
innovations to operational production
Company will benefit from new
technological advancements, e.g. AI.
No, organisation may not have
competence to even try, let alone
succeed leveraging new technologies;
the gap to the best companies will grow
Yes, new technologies will open new
unseen possibilities to completely level
the competition
8. • IT is developing rapidly: Ever stronger tools (e.g. cognitive
computing) are becoming affordable
• IT, when intelligently applied, can radically improve
business performance May change supply/value chains,
ecosystems - ’Disruption’, ’Domino effect’
• IT enables scalable growth and expansion , even globally
• Investments to automation drive businesses to seek growth
and expansion, even globally
Premises
9. Brace for impact
• The question is not if, but how, when, and by whom a market will be
disrupted; thru whichever causal chain
• Every company should plan their strategies beyond the future disruptions
Technological development provides critical input for strategy
• Technology must be considered as a major external strategic force
• Strategy must recognise disruptions, and be defined on a level above
them
Conclusions
10. • For the purposes of this presentation, let’s define:
– ’Strategy’:
• The key idea and logic on how to preserve and grow assets
• Recognises the life cycle of an ’opportunity space’ and the
corresponding business operation
• Defines the relevant Business Portfolio at any point of time
’Strategy’: Definition
Dynamic Environmental
Analysis ( ’War Games’)
Opportunity Space(s) Strategy Strategic Portfolio/Program (s)
Most likely scenarios across
industries, ecosystems;
considering impacts of
technology, among other forces
What kind of services/products
To what kind of customers
Points out key business
capabilities and performance
needed
Develop targeted capabilities
11. • It is impossible to define strategy when everything is
changing so fast
– Simply not true! Those with the required competence, are
doing it
– It is only a matter of competence, not resources
• You should replace strategy work with experiments
– Absolutely no. Experimenting is a tactical measure where
losses need to be controlled. Strategy is needed to give
direction to experiments.
– What is the other name for strategic experimenting…?

– no online access
• How are you going to compete with an ’amazon’ in your own
industry?
Would You Challenge Amazon
17. • Design your future operation directly to be
best-in-class in every perspective, exploiting
all available technology supporting that goal –
that’s the new baseline
Design Directives for New Business Capabilities
18. The Fundamental Principles of Business/IT by
M. Rehberger
Principle Adoption
#1: All existing information, and any
information derived from it, can be
shared, with anyone, anywhere, anytime,
real time
Already successfully exploited by best
companies for decades - completely
missed by most
#2: The significant, even disruptive
impact of IT to business is delivered thru
the standardisation and automation of
efficient and seamless end-to-end
processes thru companies, extended
supply chains and ecosystems
Already successfully exploited by best
companies for decades – completely
missed by most
#3: Cognitive computing outperforms
humans in most tasks
Already successfully exploited by a
handful of best companies; becoming a
critically dividing capability - will cause
major casualties
20. • Ensure the necessary competence in management team, invest
continuous effort into maintaining 24/7 up-to-date strategy
• Define strategy beyond disruption - Winner takes all
• Design your future operation directly to be best-in-class in every
perspective, exploiting all available technology supporting that goal
• Beware gradual, continuous ’digital transformation’ if your target is
revolutional – Consider setting up another path, completely free from
legacy systems, processes, organisation and culture
• Control your investments into the ’dying cow’ - Focus on technologies
that support minimising cost structure and managed run down of the
operation towards end of life cycle
• Catch up with the basics, and keep an eye on cognitive computing
