Business Modeling Premise

• Designing and documenting the
• the business, governance and operations of an
  organization,
• and
• the manual/automated recording keeping /
  information processing system(s) of the
  organization
• are two very different, intimately
  connected, loosely coupled activities that
• produce very different documentation artefacts
• are created and owned by different people in the
  organization

5
Business Modeling Delineation

• Business / Governance Modeling
• Way the people who run the organization think
• About delivering the organizations products and
  services
• Terminology used in business conversation
  documentation
• Business management / governance tools
• Signed MS Office PDF documents

• Recordkeeping / IT System Modeling
• Way IT people think
• About record keeping and information storage,
  communication processing
• Terminology used by IT system designers
• Information system design tools
• Graphic Modeling tools and technical
  specifications

6
Business Modeling Information Day Speaker Criteria

• Selected companies that earn their living by
• helping business management design document
• how the business is to be run
• without consideration of the specification of the
  IT system (clearly cost and feasibility
  have to be considered)

Emerging Levels of Business Modeling
1. Business Unit / Business Capability (Supply
Unit) Identity Strategy
Market ?? Customer-Focused Product/Service
Organizational Supply Units ( external or
internal customers)
2. Supply Unit Tactics, Risks, Policies
Required Supply Units
Product/Service Supply Units and their Supply
Chain (external supply chain business units
composed of internal business capability supply
units)
3. Supply Unit Operational Activity Design
Operating Plan
Organizational Authority, Responsibility and
Planning for Operational Activities
4. Supply Unit Work Design
Executable Process
BUSINESS SYSTEM (the human activity system)
INFORMATION SUPPORT SYSTEM (the IT system)

Some Challenges

• Integration of rules and business processes
• Business process model alignment to organization
• Levels of abstraction and separation of concerns
  in business models
• Unified concept of role in rules, processes,
  organization, B2B collaboration
• Business alignment to SOA (service oriented
  architecture)
• Application of rules and vocabularies to other
  specifications
• Linkage of business models to IT solutions

21
Status

• Specifications in process
• SBVR (Semantics of Business Vocabulary Rules)
• OSM (Organization Structure Metamodel)
• BPDM (Business Process Definition Metamodel)
• BMM Proposed RFC
• BPMN proposed RFC
• Emerging Model Based Management strategy
• Practical models for management
• Alignment of related models
• BPMI Steering Committee strategic perspective
