ThoughtWorks' Quarterly Briefings

Business Architecture Foundations of IT

Many organisations face the twin problems of high operating costs and lack of business agility arising from past architectural choices and ad hoc growth. In this briefing, Ian Robinson, Principal Consultant with ThoughtWorks, describes a number of practices and activities that together create a useful representation of a firm's operating model -- one that can be used to identify, prioritise and plan strategic IT investments.

This is all about what happens before the first line of code is written, about creating the foundations for success by modelling stable business capabilities, identifying projects that address shortcomings and instigating technical and architectural strategies needed. The briefing uses examples from Ian's recent experience with clients from the communications and media, entertainment, financial services, and oil and gas industries. It is of interest to business and technology leaders alike.
