A Transformation Framework Proposal for Managers in Business Innovation and Business Transformation Projects-intelligent Atomic Building Block Architecture

Abstract

Today's dynamic global economy forces business companies to struggle for survival; where such companies must be competitive and loosely interconnected in a wide networked business market. It is not a secret that a solid business environment that wants to insure its sustainable business future must adapt itself to frequent business transformation processes, to adapt to such a situation a building block based solution is proposed to support the business transformation project. Such a building block strategy for frequent business transformation changes is translated in a set of recommendations that support the company's business resources in order to optimize the companies’ various business and information technology resources. Unfortunately, most of business transformation projects fail, because of the very difficult business transformation project's “decoupled and technical” implementation or re-engineering phase. The author recommend a re-engineering phase that is based on atomic building blocks architecture; where the business transformation manager must have the right skills to model and prototype the most important Atomic Business Blocks, in order to insure the successes of business transformation projects. It is recommended to apply the adequate atomic business architecture and the needed modeling concepts. Such concepts are based on a one to one mapping pattern that is in turn based on enterprise architecture standards. Business transformation projects should apply an Atomic Business Blocks driven implementation phase that will help the implementation capability of the business transformation project; such an approach needs a specific a set of integration, modeling and prototyping skills 1,2,3 .
