UNDERSTANDING
BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE

6. WHAT IS BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE?
We like to refer to it as “The design of business”
It is about giving strategic business objectives greater clarity and
structure by describing how they translate into operations.
The goal of Business Architecture is to operationalise business
strategy, thereby helping business leaders avoid a risky leap directly
from strategy to specific project investments.

& IMPLEMENTATION
In navigating the minefield between strategy and execution there are multiple possible failure points

Strategy not sufficiently
tied to operations
Needed capabilities not
properly understood or
measured
Planners not accountable
for delivery
Benefits aren’t
quantified or traced
back to original goals

The drivers of strategy
are often misaligned
Are we investing in the right areas
across the enterprise?
Is my investment portfolio
balanced across all of the
economic value add dimensions?
Are the strategic programs aligned,
or for that matter, are they the right
strategic programs?
Where can we take advantage of
synergies across the major
strategic programs?
There is a lot of activity going on
out there, how do I know we are
doing the right things?

10. HOW DOES
BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE HELP?

Then establishing the resources that are needed by the capabilities
and ensuring that architecture provides oversight at portfolio level

Business Architecture directly addresses the failure points
between strategy and implementation…
Creating a clear view of the goals, value drivers and corresponding
levers that drive the strategy and the target Business Model
Clearly linking the strategy to operations
through CAPABILITIES

OVERVIEW
› The business environment at INSURECo has become more
challenging
› Requires greater focus on core competencies and what
differentiates them from the competition
› New players are arriving on the scene with improved value
propositions
› New techniques and technologies increase competitiveness
› Competitors are beginning to specialise and then turn to others
to supplement capabilities that are not core competencies
The Exco Viewpoint

14. INSURECO. BUSINESS DESIGN
PROJECT STORY AREAS OF FOCUS
INSURECo. need to re-assess their current
business model with a remit to identifying
areas for improvement and capability uplift.
Areas of focus include:
• Simplification,
• improved time to market,
• standardisation of products
• balancing the market mix for “on-demand”
and “for need” products.
Understanding the current state view of the
Business, Application, Information and
Technology landscape
Producing a hypothesis of the desired future
state based upon the business motivation
From this desired target state, perform a Gap
Analysis to define the changes required to
achieve the strategic goals
This gap analysis will form the basis of the IT
transformation Roadmap

The language of strategic planning is often inconsistent.
The BMM provides us with a Consistent Language to
articulate business strategy.
“The BMM is a technique in which one determines an ultimate
goal and determines the best strategy for attaining the goal in
the current situation”

WHAT IS A CAPABILITY?
› An ability that an organisation, person, or
system possesses. Capabilities are typically
expressed in general and high-level terms and
typically require a combination of organisation,
people, processes, and technology to achieve.
For example, marketing, customer contact, or
outbound telemarketing – The Open Group
› The power or ability to do something – Oxford
English Dictionary
› Measure of the ability of an entity (department,
organisation, person, system) to achieve its
objectives, specially in relation to its overall
mission – Business Dictionary
› The ability to perform or achieve certain actions
or outcomes through a set of controllable and
measurable faculties, features, functions,
processes, or services – Wikipedia
Some Definitions…

21. IDENTIFYING CAPABILITIES
B U S I N E S S A N A L Y S I S C O N F E R E N C E E U R O P E 2 0 1 4 | © E N T E R P R I S E A R C H I T E C T S | PAGE 23
› All enterprises have ‘capabilities’: Capabilities are
the things the enterprise must be able to DO in
order to fulfil its mission
› Capabilities will tend to persist over time
» What changes is the way in which the
capability is fulfilled (the ‘How’), who is
fulfilling the capability, where it takes place and
their importance to the business strategy
› Capabilities are expressed as outcomes and
should be agnostic of technology, product,
organisational unit, etc.
» Meaning the same capability could be
performed in different ways depending on
context, channel, etc.
› Capabilities can be described in a simple one-page
view… the Business Capability Model
Some Guidelines…

22. BUILDING THE CAPABILITY MODEL:
THE VALUE CHAIN

› Every firm is a collection of
activities that are performed
to design, produce, market,
deliver and support its
products and services
› The value activities are the
building blocks by which a
firm creates products which
are valuable to its consumers
› So… the key value-driving
activities are a starting point
to help identify key
capabilities required by your
value chain

…and like a map of a city, the business anchor model can
have many overlays, each communicating a different
message based on the same underlying structure

CAPABILITY MATURITY
› Capabilities can be assessed for their current and
required maturity level
› Target State Maturity is assessed relative to the
strategic importance of the capability
› Capabilities can be assessed at a high level, or at more
granular level along the dimensions of People, Process,
Information and Technology
› Meaning the assessment can be rolled-up or drilled-down
into specific areas as necessary
Consider both current and target state maturity
Low Maturity
(Ad Hoc)
Medium Maturity
(Repeatable)
Med-High Maturity
(Defined/Managed)
High Maturity
(Optimized)

Low Technical Fit
Emerging - Potentially High
relevance, processes and
ecosystem still developing
Application - this application
has identified potential to
change the cost/value,
efficiency/effectiveness of our
services, and we are at a
point where work is required
to achieve that potential, proof
of concept/initial deployments
are Underway or completed.
Financial - there is an
investment cycle with a strong
ROI, though possibly with
benefits outside of the
immediate project.
Organisational - this will assist
in supporting our
organisational maturity goals
through improving process,
skills, readiness and/or
capability. Design patterns
are actively being developed
or refined.
Usage & Governance –
Projects may consider using
these applications where
there is justification. However
projects must be aware
that service management
organisation, tools and
processes will likely be
immature. Projects promoting
the use of “Invest”
applications must seek
adoption signoff from the
Head of Infrastructure and
Operations together with the
Head of IT Strategy and
Architecture before
commitment to use can be
assumed.
Core - High relevance;
processes and ecosystem
in place
Application - this is a
fundamental and valuable
application and is the current
standard. It is well
understood and there is no
risk in attempting to extract
ongoing value from its use.
Financial - costs are known
and understood. There is
good ROI for maintenance;
either upgrading early or leap-frogging
some upgrade
steps. Cost models clearly
identify the whole service
stack and components are
managed to the whole
service.
Organisational - all staff in the
support pyramid(s)
understand the key controls
and SLAs around this
application. There is no
tinkering, instead there is a
process for continuous
improvement.
Usage & Governance –
Projects should specify the
use of Core Applications
where available in the
knowledge they are fully
supported by service
management and operational
capabilities.
Contain - Falling relevance;
ageing processes and
ecosystem
Application/Financial - this
installation is not to be
extended in use. Where
possible changes will not
occur to the existing
environment - it is to be
allowed to age towards sunset
with minimal additional spend.
Organisational - Operations
and security levels are to be
maintained, there needs to
be a process to manage
changes required for
continued operation, and to
keep skills for the duration.
Lifecycle Management - A
replacement strategy, if
required, must be in place for
all applications with this
status.
Usage & Governance –
Projects should generally
avoid use of Contain
Applications as they are
invariably subject to near or
medium term sunset. Any
circumstance which promotes
extended use of Contain
applications must be seek
exemption from <Insert
Appropriate Governance
Authority> before commitment
to use can be assumed.
Retire - Avoidance;
specialist (non-core)
resources and processes
required to keep in the
environment
Application/Financial - Spend
and change must only occur
as part of projects that assist
in removal of this application.
Organisational - All change
requires formal approval from
the Head of Infrastructure and
Operations together with the
Head of IT Strategy and
Architecture, which will only
occur where it contributes
towards Retiring the
application, or meets a
mandatory requirement due
before exit is complete.
Lifecycle Management -
Applications which cannot
readily be removed will be
ring-fenced. If this approach
is taken, design patterns must
exist for working with the
application.
Usage & Governance – Must
avoid use of Exit Applications
as they are subject to defined
decommissioning strategy.
Any circumstance which
promotes extended use of Exit
applications must seek
exemption from the Head of
Infrastructure and Operations
together with the Head of IT
Strategy and Architecture
before usage approval can be
given.
