Building and Adjusting the Transformation Roadmap
From an enterprise or an enterprise stage, you can define enterprise sub-stages.
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.A transformation stage is a past, current or future stage of an enterprise.
For more details on transformation plans, see "Drawing up the roadmap", page 93.Enterprise sub-phases can be defined and positioned according to enterprise events, such as mergers and acquisitions, and the introduction of new products or technologies to the market.
Defining enterprise stages
An enterprise is itself an enterprise stage; it is therefore possible in HOPEX IT Strategy to define business capabilities and enterprise models for courses of action directly at the level of the root enterprise, and refine the iterative roadmap drill down into the subsequent stage levels.
A transformation stage is a past, current or future stage of an enterprise.For more details on enterprise stages, see "Defining enterprise stages", page 96An enterprise stage is defined by a number of components.
• A business capability map, which contains the capabilities valid for the current enterprise stage;
• A logical application system environment, which contains the elements that define the enterprise model (operating model) for the current stage:
• the definition of the ecosystem of the enterprise (interactions with partners),
• logical application architectures
• functionalities.
• The solution building block environments that depend on product licenses used.
Defining the enterprise and its events
An event represents a fact or an action occurring in the system, such as updating client information. It is managed by a broker. An application indicates that it can produce the event by declaring that it publishes it. If an application is interested in an event, it declares that it subscribes to the event.A basic enterprise is made up of the following elements:
• a start enterprise event;
The start event can be positioned arbitrarily at the beginning of the current year, for example.• an end enterprise event;
The end event can be positioned with an analysis time frame (e.g.: year n+ 5, year n+10)• a current ('As-Is') enterprise stage that holds the currently deployed business capabilities map, the business architecture environment and the solution building blocks;
The end event of this stage is the intermediate event that defines the 'pivot' transformation benchmark beyond which you are in the 'target' stage• a target ('To-Be') enterprise stage that holds the target business capability map, the business architecture environment and the target solution building blocks.
The start date is the end pivot event of the previous ('As-Is') stage.For more details on enterprise stages, see "Managing enterprise events", page 98
