This presentation makes the connection between business value, competitive advantage, IT Governance, IT Governance frameworks, business it alignment, and enterprise architecture. Good Discussion.
The core objective of any organization is sustainable competitive advantage. In the absence of a clear differentiation, an organization competes on other levers such as price but that is usually a grind if not a death spiral. Business strategies are created to gain said competitive advantage.
The best of these strategies fail because they are not implemented correctly. There are many reasons for this proverbial slip between the proverbial cup and the lip but there is one clear solution: enterprise architecture.
A business driven enterprise architecture can translate strategic imperatives into capability implications - predictably, communicably, iteratively. One can see the impact of different scenarios, drivers, strategies, etc. on the various aspects of solution design and implementation.
An enterprise architecture can transform an inefficient, fragmented, staid organization, infrastructure, and processes into an integrated and effective, flexible, agile business capability. Done right, enterprise architecture can fundamentally change the competitive stance of a business to make it impervious to the vagaries of the market. This discussion goes into the details of how.
