Describing the target business capability map
The implementation of an enterprise is described by the enterprise stages that correspond to its state at a given time.
An enterprise is a purposeful undertaking, an effort conducted by one or more organizations, aiming at delivering goods and services, in accordance with the enterprise mission in its changing environment. In the course of its development, the enterprise must adapt to its environment and establish the transformation objectives and goals to be achieved as well as the strategic action plans used to achieve these objectives. The development and achievement of the different adaptation and transformation stages can lead to a modification of the organization's boundaries. This requires the implementation of an integrated team, under the responsibility of a governing body, to involve the stakeholders in the transformation.Thus, when the functional administrator creates an enterprise, the following two enterprise stages are automatically created:
• The current ('As-Is') stage that concerns existing elements;
• The target 'To-Be' phase that contains the target elements determined by the review of the transformation strategic objects.
A transformation stage is a past, current or future stage of an enterprise.The business capabilities valid for the given enterprise are contained in a business capability map.
A business capability map is a set of business capabilities with their dependencies that, together, define a framework for an enterprise stage.The target business capability map thus describes the architecture that meets the transformation goals of the enterprise. The target map is thus made up of the business capabilities associated with the "As-Is" phase and the business capabilities resulting from the analysis of associated goals and means.
