Unique to a business architecture-centered approach to solution definition is a passionate focus on the client’s customers’ journeys and end-to-end business value creation, differentiation and measurable outcomes and key results. It is possible to make recommendations around how to align and prioritize human resources with program/product investment portfolios through:1. robust, framework-driven, use of motivation and goal analysis, 2. organizational change management competencies and practices, 3. business capability assessment and improvement, and4. risk-mitigation measures.Imagine how helpful it can be for organizations to have data-driven business capability analysis conversations in ways similar to - but substantively different from - those that technology solution and enterprise architects have been able to have over the last twenty years.
