Business Modeling
Today's Economy
In today’s global economy, organizations are always examining the effectiveness of their core capabilities. Financial investments are under scrutiny as organizations are pressured to reduce operating costs without loosing staff to remain competitive.
Successful executives know that the effective management and utilization of company resources is a key factor in enabling business success. Without the proper alignment of business strategies with business capabilities, organizations struggle to keep up with constantly changing business challenges. Executives are challenging the organization to answer strategic questions such as:
- How does the business strategy shape the business capabilities?
- How does the business operation create new business strategies?
- How do we ensure realization of the business vision?
- Where do we realize the biggest return on investments and reduce the risk of future investments?
The purpose of creating models is to enable a more nimble organization that can implement change, better, faster, and cheaper.
The below strategy model can be customized to define: what type of capabilities do we need, what plans we need, and what problems will we solve, what impacts will those capabilities have on our organizational structure. The impacts can be further defined by what specific changes will be made to people process and tools.

Business Interaction Model
The below business interaction model (BIM) is used to depict the organizational relationships within your internal and external environment. This technique is predicated on the premise that your business is an adaptive sytem comprised of inflows from your suppliers and outflows to your customers. The organizational unites identified in the model, represent the "islands of authority" in your business and provide the basis to understand the interfaces between these islands and between your business and suppliers/customers.

Through sound strategic planning, we build the proper context to align the business strategies with the enterprise architecture.
