A method and system for analyzing capabilities of an entity includes inputting data regarding an entity's capabilities, and using a capability model to detect a capability pattern among the capabilities and generate an action plan based on the capability pattern.

Method and system for analyzing capabilities of an entity

A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.

System and method for using a component business model to organize an enterprise

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for creating and maintaining an enterprise architecture over a network. The system comprises at least one client system; a server operably coupled to the client system via the network; a plurality of business applications executable via the server; a data storage device in communication with the server via the network; an enterprise architecture assessment model executing on the system; and a maturity model map generated via the enterprise architecture assessment model. The maturity model map comprises a process component, an organization component, a business component, and a technology component. The maturity model map is generated using information stored in the data storage device. Other embodiments of the invention include a method and storage medium for implementing enterprise architecture assessment model.
