Architecture as clue: We live in the digital era with knowledge abundance. Knowledge is power. However, there are the inherent dangers of too much knowledge particularly because of the inconsistencies and incoherence in the body of knowledge that surrounds us. Business Architecture is not just for knowledge collection, but for capturing business insight, classifying the crucial elements and knowing their linkage. Knowledge is no doubt important but more than that is complete awareness of what is happening in the context. Business leaders and professionals can use architecture as a clue of knowledge management in gaining a contextual understanding of the business, enabling everyone in the organization to know the parts by managing the enterprise knowledge, and guiding change systematically.
Knowledge is neutral and can be used for good and become beautiful, or it can be used to harm others and become ugly. There is also the danger of super specialization as it would create silos and generate gaps between different knowledge domains, and it can deprive people of a holistic understanding. With all that knowledge, technology, societal advancement academically or practically, we are in fact, stepping into the era of personalization with cross-disciplinary understanding. Thus, architecture could become a great tool in guiding through knowledge management, to ensure that the organization has the ability to apply the right kind of knowledge by the right people at the right time, with the right attitude comes through wisdom & diligent practices to solve problems consistently.
Architecture as a clarifier and explorer: Business Architecture as a “critical success factor” explorer can help the management clarify effective value propositions, diagnose crucial issues, identify gaps, assumptions, risks, and avoid the pitfalls on the way. The real value of business architecture is to balance multi-facet of facts and data, set priorities, and achieve a situational compromise or trade-off. It aids in the business transformation from strategy to plan and acts as an assurance of the quality of the strategy and contributes to improved quality of management.
Business leaders or professionals can leverage architecture to frame bigger thinking boxes and gain an in-depth understanding of critical success factors of the business such as people, process, technology; study internal factors that are specific to the organization, such as the maturity level of the organization -in which stage of the boom-bust cycle, the industry is at; the strategic objectives that line up with the business' vision, mission, and how the business will like to position themselves, or their competitive strategy. So high professionals can think beyond their own domains, experiment with new ways to solve problems, pursue truth, reality, and wisdom by taking a multi-logical path.
Architecture as glue: Business Architecture is a great tool for enterprise leaders to orchestrate the organizational interrelationship between people and process, streamline information and idea flow, enforce business communications, foster collaboration, build trust, and accelerate performance. Enterprise Architects are not the "guru" to architect a frozen enterprise blueprint in a command and control management approach, but a “glue” to bridge the silos, deepen understanding of business context, and improve organizational planning effectiveness. There would be an increase in the range of planned activities against the potential unplanned presumably unforeseeable activities. Business Architecture is a practical tool to explore macro-environment and navigate critical business activities to manage uncertainty and deal with complexity, ambiguity smoothly.
A business architecture would look for leverage within the ecosystems, industries, and domain knowledge that defines it, encompass at least some interfaces of the current or target ecosystem, bring the systems understanding of business relationships, ecosystems, market dynamics, as well as the connections between related business functions to enhance the scientific discipline underneath it. It enables transformative change by describing how the business will function when the current vision is implemented and in the various stepping stages on the way to move up to the next cycle of business growth and maturity.
In order to build a people-centric organization, business architecture helps to shape a longer view which is essential to make sure that the patterns and impacts the organization is going to provide in business solutions can be sustained not only in the "systems," but in the systems of people. By leveraging architecture as a strategic tool, the management has a strong sense of how to develop customer-centric programs for building an integral and unique set of business capabilities by combining technology and business tactics. It also helps align key business elements and orchestrate a harmonized business transformation.
