Business Capability Planning in the Enterprise Intelligence Age

Capability-based investment planning provides enterprise intelligence to business leaders, enabling them to see the big picture and make informed decisions about where to invest in their business. Business capabilities can be the starting point for a business architecture program, providing a common language for fact-based conversations about IT portfolios and their alignment to the business roadmap. Capability maps offer valuable insights to inform strategic planning, allowing decision-makers to assess where the business is over-invested, under-invested, or at risk, and to focus their efforts on supporting the applications and technology that have the most impact on the business.
