Selling Business Architecture (Template)

  1. Let me show you how the structural complexities in your business may critically affect business performance. (Of course, the details of this argument will look different for different businesses. See my post on Enterprise Structure.)
  2. Let me show you how you can manage these structural complexities more effectively by thinking  architecturally about your business.
  3. An explicit business architecture will help you coordinate XXX (specific forms of congruence and requisite variety) across all your human activity systems, including management information systems (IT) and management reward systems (HR), and thus overcome YYYY (the structural inhibitors to business performance). 

Five Views of Business Architecture


The Object Management Group Business Architecture Working Group has identified five key views of a business.

  • the Business Strategy view ("What the Business Wants")
  • the Business Capabilities view ("What the Business Does")
  • the Value Stream view ("How the Business Does")
  • the Business Knowledge view ("What the Business Knows", "How the Business Thinks")
  • the Organizational view ("What the Business Is")
