Defining the Transformation Strategy

After having described the current state and analyzing the suitability between the business capabilities of the enterprise and value architecture elements, this step consists in drawing up the list of needs for change (or driver) identified at the various levels by the stakeholders (or interested parties), and assessing them in order to establish the list of enterprise goals.

A goal tends to be longer term, and defined qualitatively rather than quantitatively. It should be narrow-focused enough that goals can be defined for it.

Defining the enterprise and its evolution in time

An enterprise is described by the following elements:

• a business capability map,

• value streams,

• goals and strategies of the transformation,

• Transformation stages which define the concrete implementation of the transformation.

A Business Transformation Stage is a kind of Enterprise Transformation Stage aiming at the alignment of the enterprise business operating model to its business strategy and corresponding exhibited business capabilities (business model).
