A data-driven mechanism of business rules is used to form associations between business sectors, industries, solutions, solution offerings, and industry business architecture models. The system and method includes use of a navigation hierarchy, and entity diagram to facilitate use by business consultants for access, viewing, navigation, publishing, and updating.

Publishing an industry business architecture model

A system creates and maintains an industry business architecture model over a network. The system defines specific levels of maturity for the model. Associations, relationships, and linkages between content elements are also determined. From these, a specific level of aggregate maturity is defined according to an algorithm.

Assessing the maturity of an industry architecture model

A system gathers real-time data about an enterprise over a network. A user device displays a dashboard showing a component business model map, a heat map, key performance indicators for components, key performance indicators for the enterprise, and gradients. The business is enhanced by making investments and changes to those operations having large gradients.

System for enhancing business performance

A business enterprise is assessed by a consultant using a computer implemented tool for practicing component business modeling techniques. The tool builds a map of components, filters the map to form a heat map and identifies collaborations. Key performance indicators are evaluated.

System for implementing business transformation in an enterprise

A method and system for analyzing impact of change in an organizational entity. A graph H includes nets, nodes of the nets, edges connecting the nodes, and edge weights for the edges. The edge weights denote changes in some nodes resulting from changes in other nodes. For a given set Z of nodes A and for each node B characterized by a set S of at least one path of edges connecting nodes of H from node A to node B for each node A of Z, a measure M(Z,B) of a change in node B resulting from a change in each node A of Z is determined. M(Z,B) is a function of the edge weights in each path of S. Each node B of H is displayed via a graphical representation G(B) assigned to each node B. G(B) is a function of M(Z,B).
