With the application of heat maps and overlays, which depict various organisational attributes, the Business Capability Model can be used as an important business design artefact for a number of business and technical purposes. This may include the identification of gaps in functionality, duplicated solutions, IT spend in proportion to strategic business capabilities and technology obsolescence risks. The unique visual representation of these attributes can provide insight into the cost of, and value derived from, an organisation’s investment in IT and where to direct that spend more appropriately, if needed.

The Fragile to Agile Investment & Prioritisation Framework takes a single, enterprise view of change and provides a methodical mechanism for choosing which business change initiatives to fund and how much funding to allocate. As there is always more demand than can be fulfilled, investment decisions need to be made in a systematic and prudent way against balanced decision criteria. Therefore, the framework enables consistent and transparent decision making that is aligned with the strategic vision, objectives and values of the organisation. It has been designed as an extensible framework that can be tailored to complement the existing executive decision making process of any organisation.
