Identifying strategic transformation objectives
After having described the current state, and analyzed the suitability between the business capabilities of the enterprise and its business functions, this step consists in drawing up the list of drivers of change (or driver) identified at the various levels by the stakeholders (or interested parties), and assessing them in order to establish the list of transformation objectives.
A transformation objective is the expression of a realistic target, measurable and with a time limit, which the enterprise pursues to reach the goals it has set.
Identifying drivers
Stakeholders identify drivers.
A stakeholder is an internal or external person or person group with a defined role in the enterprise plan.
There are various types of drivers:
A business driver is an expectation expressed by a client, a partner or provider with respect to the enterprise.
A regulatory driver is guided by a change in the regulation framework to which it makes reference.
An architectural driver is guided by a specific characteristic or an internal architectural building block. This characteristic can represent a strength or a weakness
Assessing the relative importance of drivers
The SWOT assessment (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats or Forces) of drivers is possible within the framework of a strategy evaluation.
