Strategy-driven Operational Development Methodology
1st Step : Crystallize strategy:
- Clarify strategic direction and define goals and requirements for business
- Start from the identification of strategic drivers, which are the forces that shape an organization’s strategic direction
- Assign indicators to monitor progress of strategy execution
- Enables communication of strategy and identification of needed capabilities – which are the basis for development initiatives
2nd Step : Evaluate business model:
- Define the core components of business that are needed for value to be created and delivered to the customer as defined in strategy
- Used to validate and further define capabilities required to support business model
- Enables communication of core business components and ensures commitment of executive management to common development plan
3rd Step : Redesign operating model:
- Design how the organization can best operate across people, processes and IT to create value and reach goals (to enable business model as defined in strategy)
- The development of work packages is scoped around a capability and its requirements to ensure the design of a holistic solution that realizes the capability
- Work packages (WP) provide a basis for the target architecture. Detailed cross-domain architecture solutions can then be designed based on the work package
4th Step : Manage development roadmap:
- Prioritize work packages, manage their interdependencies and execution in line
with solution blueprints - Map work packages to the capabilities and business outcomes they realize
- Capability‐based planning ensures focus on outcomes, engagement across
functions and leads to horizontal interoperability and shared services
