Enterprise Transformation Roadmap

Abstract

After gaining experience with a large number of enterprise transformation efforts in industry, government, academia and service industries, the Version 1 of the Enterprise Transformation Roadmap needed to be modified to reflect our learning. This roadmap reflects this learning and adds details and refinements in the strategy, planning and execution cycles of enterprise transformation. We added more specific guidance on linkages to enterprise strategy and leadership roles. Also included was our latest research in enterprise architecting and design. More emphasis was place on alignment of metrics, strategic objectives, stakeholder values and processes. In the implementation phase we added the identification and detailed planning of key enterprise focus areas identified in the planning cycle. Lastly, we made the terminology more generic, since many enterprises employ lean principles but choose to call their programs something other than that.
