Our Business Architecture Professional Services include:

Business Model Development

This service involves developing and refining business models that define how your organisation creates, delivers, and captures value. Your business model is at the heart of your business architecture, as it connects strategic intentions with operational execution. We assist in crafting models that resonate with your vision and market position, ensuring your organisation is structured and processes are aligned for peak performance and sustainability.

Business Capability Mapping

Our approach here is to identify and model business capabilities that are essential for your strategic success. This involves understanding what your organisation does and capturing your organisation’s capabilities that include people, process, technology, and information. The Business Capability Map serves as the basis for Capability-Based Planning which focuses the investments an organisation makes on developing the capabilities which are crucial for achieving their strategic intent.

Additionally, we offer Capability Maturity Assessments to evaluate the current maturity level of these capabilities. This assessment helps in pinpointing areas of strength and identifying opportunities for improvement. By understanding the maturity level of each capability, we can tailor strategies that elevate these capabilities, ensuring they meet and exceed industry benchmarks and drive competitive advantage.

Value Stream Mapping

In this service, we map out the journey of how your business creates and delivers value to its customers. Value stream maps are an invaluable tool for understanding and enhancing the customer experience and operational effectiveness. They provide a macro perspective that enables the definition of strategic improvements to the work flow. This allows us to pinpoint inefficiencies, potential areas for innovation, and processes that can be optimised. Where required, measures can be added to the value stream map providing the foundation for data-driven, strategic decision-making that quantifies performance and facilitates continuous improvement while identifying the barriers and process breakdowns.

Information Mapping

This service focuses on creating a comprehensive map of how information flows and is utilised across your organisation. Our goal is to optimise this flow to support strategic, data-driven decision-making, improve operational efficiency, and enhance data governance. Information Mapping defines the information necessary to support business capabilities and value streams and involves identifying key data entities and their relationships, providing a foundation for data management.

Organisational Mapping

Our organisational mapping service provides a detailed analysis of your company's structure, highlighting roles, responsibilities, the interconnections between different departments, and the network of relationships and interactions between business entities. This clarity is essential for optimising workflows, enhancing collaboration, and supporting strategic decision-making across the organisation.

Governance and Compliance Consulting

This service ensures that your business architecture aligns with the latest regulations and industry standards. We provide expert guidance on setting up governance structures that meet compliance requirements as well as support efficient and effective business operations.

Business Process Management (BPM)

In BPM, we focus on analysing, designing, modelling and optimising your business processes. This approach ensures that your processes are efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with your business objectives, driving operational excellence and strategic success.
