Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes to enter the world of unicist business architecture in order to be able to transform the idea of the concept of a business into business processes. This implies the integration of diagnoses, strategies and architecture. Unicist Business Architects need to integrate the facts of a business and of its contexts with the needs of customers, stakeholders and shareholders and with the possibilities of the available technologies. This implies necessarily the use of creativity. Business architects need to go beyond factual knowledge in order to use their "art" to develop solutions that go beyond an "if and then" thinking process. The nature of architects can be defined by the integration of their need to do, the focus on what is being built, their inner freedom in order to be able to use their "art," with a natural credibility in order to start by "believing to see" to imagine solutions that are not preexisting. This book is for individuals who are responsible for designing business architecture. They are the ones that need to be able to apprehend diagnoses and strategies considering their fundamental and technical analytical aspects. This book provides the necessary ontogenetic maps to design and build the business architecture.

Download or read book Ontogenetic Maps for Business Architecture written by Diana Belohlavek and published by Blue Eagle Group. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the ontogenetic maps for business architects. This work shows that the use of ontogenetic maps fosters consciousness in decision making and action, promoting the emulation of reality and the development of real actions to test solutions. Strategy building requires the use of ontogenetic maps to define the structure of possible solutions to be tested. The final architecture is based on the use of ontogenetic maps and the pilot testing of solutions. This work includes, among other subjects, an introduction to Unicist Business Architecture, the ambiguity of human adaptive systems, the unicist standard language and examples to learn how to read ontogenetic maps. The last chapter ends with the Unicist Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature, to understand the groundings of the structure of an ontogenetic map. This is a complete introduction to the world of ontogenetic maps to deal with adaptive systems in business architecture. It is the starting point for any business architect.

Download or read book Unicist R D of Adaptive Systems in Business written by Peter Belohlavek and published by Blue Eagle Group. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on the R&D of the adaptive systems of businesses in order to develop and design solutions for them. It provides the technology to research and develop solutions for growth, innovation and improvement of business processes. It integrates applied research and architectural design. It starts with a research process where the solutions need to be confirmed and ends with a design process developing the architecture of a business, business process or business unit. The research process is homologous to the clinical trials that are developed in medicine. What needs to be confirmed is the efficacy the solution provides, the security and safety of the process and the side effects the solution produces. The solution needs to be considered as a unified field with the system in order to confirm the validity of the remedy . The first step of an R&D process is being able to apprehend the unified field of a business. After this has been achieved, a diagnosing process can begin. This work shows that the solution has to be designed and built considering its utility, aesthetics and solidity. That is why an extreme design process is used (Unicist XD) that includes several pilot tests to ensure the functionality of the solution.

Download or read book Business Architecture written by Jonathan Whelan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations today exist in an environment of unprecedented change. They do so against a backdrop of a global, competitive marketplace, the fast-paced enablement of technology, amplified regulation and accelerating organizational complexity. Many organizations are addressing change in a sub-optimal way and they are operating without a clear view of where their operational risks lie. It is these dynamics that are leading organizations to recognise and embrace Business Architecture. Despite this environment, Business Architecture can be a difficult ’sell’ - it is often perceived to be abstract and lacking in tangible delivery. To succeed, Business Architecture must be pragmatic and, to be sustainable, it must focus on achieving long-term value and, at the same time, recognise the shorter-term tactical needs of the organisation. With these challenges in mind, this book provides a practical guide on how to employ Business Architecture and how to build a balanced proposition that delivers value to a broad range of stakeholders. As the book states, Business Architecture should not be practised in isolation, nor should it be thought of as a one-off process; it needs to be woven into the fabric of the organization. And so the authors illustrate the opportunities for weaving the Business Architecture Practice into this fabric through the various stakeholders and life cycles that exist, both formally and informally, within an organization. Whilst recognizing best practice, this book explores a new, inspirational level of Business Architecture whilst acknowledging that the best way to realize the vision is one step at a time.

Download or read book Expert Systems based on Ontogenetic Maps written by Diego Belohlavek and published by Blue Eagle Group. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for business architects. "Expert systems based on ontogenetic maps" opens the possibilities to deal with the objective knowledge included in the ontogenetic maps for decision making. Unicist expert systems are second opinion systems to ensure the quality of business decisions in the field of diagnoses, strategies and business architecture. The unicist expert system uses ontogenetic maps that allow evaluating the functions involved and their validity, considering the threshold of "energy" that is necessary for each process. Every function is a business object in itself that has to be consistent with the rules of the unified field of the business and the evolution laws. The nature of adaptive systems in business demands the existence of catalysts, to accelerate processes and entropy inhibitors to maintain the focus of the energy that is being used. Catalysts and entropy inhibitors are necessary when a business process needs to generate additional value. Without them, the trend towards the actual value generation prevails. This book presents a real application of the expert system and its over-simplification in a "5-click Strategy" to be used in selling processes of differentiated products or services. The functionality of an expert system is its use to provide a second opinion diagnosis - to validate diagnoses, strategies and architecture -that integrates the necessary ontogenetic maps to define the possibility of developing successful actions.

Download or read book Business Architecture written by Pierre Hadaya and published by ASATE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History has shown that having a competitive advantage is critical to the success and long-term viability of all organizations. However, creating and sustaining such an advantage is a challenge. Organizations must formulate a winning strategy, surpass competitors at implementing and executing it, and excel at adapting in response to internal and external events. Although organizations have applied numerous best practices to help them succeed in their strategic endeavors, they still face serious difficulties, which they can only surmount by adopting business architecture. The goal of this book is to describe what business architecture is; how it can help meet the challenge of formulating, implementing and executing an organization’s strategy; and how to build and exploit a superior strategy management system that leverages business architecture.

Download or read book Complex Enterprise Architecture written by John D. McDowall and published by Apress. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implement successful and cost-effective enterprise architecture projects. This book provides a new approach to developing enterprise architecture based on the idea of emergent behaviors—where instead of micromanaging system implementation, the enterprise architecture effort establishes clear goals and leaves the details to the implementation teams. System development efforts are measured based on their contribution to achieving business goals instead of implementing specific (possibly outdated) requirements. Most enterprise architecture initiatives employ one of the existing system architecture frameworks such as Zachman or The Open Group Architecture Framework, but these are not well-suited for enterprise architecture in a modern, agile organization. The new approach presented in this book is based on the author’s experience with large enterprise architecture efforts. The approach leverages research into complex adaptive systems and emergent behaviors, where a few simple rules result in complex and efficient enterprise behaviors. Simplifying the task of establishing and maintaining the enterprise architecture cuts the costs of building and maintaining the architecture and frees up those resources for more productive pursuits. System implementers are given the freedom to rapidly adapt to changing user needs without the blessing of the enterprise modeling priesthood, and the architecture is transformed from a static pile of obscure models and documents into an operational framework that can be actively used to manage an enterprise’s resources to better achieve business goals. The enterprise architect is free to stop focusing on building and maintaining models and start focusing on achieving business goals. What You’ll Learn Refocus enterprise architecture on business needs by eliminating most of the enterprise-level models Delegate tasks to the development teams who do system implementation Document business goals, establish strategies for achieving those goals, and measure progress toward those goals Measure the results and gauge whether the enterprise architecture is achieving its goals Utilize appropriate modeling techniques that can be effectively used in an enterprise architecture Who This Book Is For Architecture practitioners and architecture managers: Practitioners are experienced architects who have used existing frameworks such as Zachman, and have experience with formal architecture modeling and/or model-based system engineering; managers are responsible for managing an enterprise architecture project and either have experience with enterprise architecture projects that were ineffective or are looking for a different approach that will be more cost-effective and allow for more organizational agility. Government program managers looking for a different approach to make enterprise architecture more relevant and easier to implement will also find this book of value.

Download or read book Agile Business Architecture for Digital Transformation written by Dr Mehmet Yildiz and published by Digitalmehmet. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are in a frenetic and a convoluted digital age. Every organisation strives to transform its business to stay competitive in this exponentially growing digital world. Digital transformation became pervasive and ubiquitous in all business ventures. This new norm of constant transformation requires architecting our business and underlying technology stacks rapidly. Establishing agile business architecture frameworks are fundamental requirements to achieve successful digital transformation outcomes. In this book, I attempt to share my knowledge and experience using a rigorous yet agile architectural method. My aim is to add accelerated value to the broader business architecture and digital transformation communities by focusing on the practical aspect with minimal emphasis on the theoretical aspect. The content in this book is based on my architectural thought leadership experience gained in multiple large business and enterprise architecture initiatives, focusing on business capabilities, digital transformation initiatives, and enterprise modernisation engagements, reflecting hard lessons learned in these applied settings. In this book I attempt to redefine the role of business architects as primary leaders for digital transformation programs. The content reflects my experience and observations from the field. As a caveat, this book is not based on theories in the traditional business architecture textbooks which may conflict with my experience. My beta readers found this as a unique guide reflecting reality from the field. Hope it adds new insights for your role in the business digital transformation initiatives.
