Defining transformation stages

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, conducted by one or more organizations, aiming at delivering goods and services, in accordance with the enterprise mission in its changing environment. During its development over time, an enterprise has to adapt to its environment and sets up transformation goals and objectives along with course of action to achieve these objectives. The design and realization of the resulting transformation stages may transcend organizational boundaries and consequently require an integrated team working under the direction of a governing body to involve stakeholders in transformation initiatives.

An Enterprise stage End Event is the end event of an Enterprise State.

Thus, when an enterprise is created, the following two enterprise stages can also been 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 goals.

The Capability map is associated to the enterprise and its transformation stages.

A Capability Map is an assembly of Capabilities and their Dependencies that, together, provide a capability scope for an Enterprise Stage.

The strategic elements of a transformation stage that follow:

• The enterprise objectives and the corresponding tactics, see Identifying enterprise ends,

• the exhibited Capabilities, see: Managing Exhibited Capabilities.

Each transformation stage is scheduled in the enterprise project depending on real or estimated dates. The scheduling is used to buid the enterprise transformation roadmap.
