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.
