The HOPEX IT Business Management method
The method described in this guide is represented in the steps below.
 
Value Streams and Business Capabilities description: this step consists in drawing up the elements that provide value to the enterprise (using value streams) and how the enterprise can deliver those elements (using business capabilities). For a business capability, you can identify the associated functionalities and the components that implement them.
*For more details on this step, see Describing the enterprise capabilty for creating value.
Identifying Strategic Transformation Elements: this step consists in defining the enterprise transformation goals and identifying the associated means (Strategies and tactics) to be implemented. The means are specified in the enterprise transformation stages. Each transformation stage highlights Exhibited Business Capabilities.
*A Business Capability that is exhibited by an Enterprise Stage with quantified measure (KPI) and potential geopolitical scope (Site) for a defined market segment (Business Partner).
For an exhibited business capability, you can identify the KPI dimensions of interest for the capability which are used to assess business value and performance (e.g.: for a delivery capability, we are interested in the "delivery time" expressed in minutes). The components that implement the exhibited capability are thus identified and are concerned by the transformation.
*For more details about exhibited business capabilities, see Defining the transformation strategy.
Defining the enterprise architectures: this work, performed during the transformation stages, can be done using HOPEX IT Business Management with other Enterprise Architecture solutions. This consists of identifying and describing the solution building blocks that contribute to the exhibited business capabilities implementation. The additional solutions of the HOPEX platform are used to describe in more detail your models (organizational, application and technological solution building blocks).
*For more details on solution architectures, see Describing the Enterprise Architecture.
Consulting the transformation roadmap: reports are provided to help you to analyze and reviewing the transformation stages of your enterprise.
