Aligning Strategy and Business Structure 

for Maximum Impact

 

" The best way to predict the future, is - to create it "
Peter Drucker

Business architecture is a rapidly emerging field that is changing the way organisations approach their operations and strategy. At its core, business architecture is a holistic and strategic approach to understanding and designing an organisation's structure, processes, and capabilities in order to achieve its goals and objectives. 

But what makes business architecture unique? And why is it becoming such an important tool for organisations around the world?

One key aspect of business architecture is its focus on alignment. By clearly defining an organisation's goals and objectives and understanding how its various parts fit together, business architecture helps ensure that everyone is working towards the same goals. This can lead to greater efficiency and productivity, as well as improved communication and collaboration.

Another key benefit of business architecture is its ability to help organisations identify and eliminate bottlenecks and inefficiencies. By mapping out the interdependencies between different parts of the business, organisations can identify where resources are being wasted and make changes to streamline their processes.

In today's fast-paced business environment, agility is also critical. Business architecture helps organisations design and implement flexible and adaptable business processes, enabling them to respond more quickly to changing market conditions. This can give organisations a significant competitive advantage.

Finally, business architecture is an invaluable tool for informed decision-making. By providing a clear and comprehensive view of an organisation's capabilities and opportunities, business architecture helps leaders make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and pursue new opportunities.

Difference between Business Architecture and Enterprise Architecture

Business architecture and enterprise architecture are related but distinct disciplines.  

Business architecture is focused specifically on understanding and defining the business strategy, functions, and processes of an organisation, and how they align with the overall goals and objectives of the organisation.  

Enterprise architecture, on the other hand, is a broader discipline that involves developing a holistic, top-down view of the organisation as a whole, including both the business and the underlying IT systems and infrastructure. Enterprise architecture aims to align all of the elements of the organisation with the overall business strategy, and to ensure that they are designed and operated in a way that is efficient, effective, and agile. 

One way to think about the difference - is to consider the "what" and the "how" of the organisation

Business Architecture

Is concerned with the "what" of the organisation - what the business does, what products and services it offers, and what its overall goals and objectives are.  

Enterprise Architecture

Is concerned with the "how" - how the organisation's business and IT assets are structured and organised to support the achievement of its goals and objectives.
