Abstract
This journal article proposes a cross-business domain applied holistic mathematical model (AHMM) that is the result of a lifetime long research on business transformations, applied mathematics, software modelling, business engineering, financial analysis, and global enterprise architecture. This ultimate research is based on an authentic and proprietary mixed research method that is supported by an underlining mainly qualitative holistic reasoning model module. The proposed AHMM formalism attempts to mimic some functions of the human brain, which uses empirical processes that are mainly based on the beam-search, like heuristic decision-making process. The AHMM can be used to implement a decision-making system or an expert system that can integrate in the enterprise's business, information and communication technology environments. The AHMM uses a behaviour driven development environment or a natural language environment that can be easily adopted by the project's development teams. The AHMM offers a high level implementation environment that can be used by any team member without any prior computer sciences qualification. The AHMM can be used also to model enterprise architecture (EA) blueprints, business transformation projects, or knowledge management systems; it is supported by many real-life cases of various business domains. The uniqueness of this research is that the AHMM promotes a holistic unbundling process, the alignment of various EA standards and transformation strategies to support business transformation projects.
Highlights
Actual archaic Business Transformation Projects (BTP) are managed as separate black-boxes that are isolated silos where their internal and external components create a messy hairball that is called the enterprise’s Information and Communication System (ICS) (Desmond, 2013)
The applied holistic mathematical model (AHMM) is based on many real-life cases and uses a model that can be used in a large variety of application fields, like: 1) business transformation projects; 2) business engineering projects; 3) critical success factors management; and 4) enterprise architecture (EA) development procedures
This research phase is part of a series of publications related to BTPs, decision making systems and enterprise architectures
Summary
Actual archaic Business Transformation Projects (BTP) are managed as separate black-boxes that are isolated silos where their internal and external components create a messy hairball that is called the enterprise’s Information and Communication System (ICS) (Desmond, 2013). The AHMM model aim is to deliver a generic skeleton for a DMS that is capable to deliver just-in-time solutions in the form of applicable actions or recommendations for solving BTP or EA problems To achieve this goal, the research methodology is based on: 1) a multi-domain literature review; 2) a qualitative methodology; 3) a quantitative methodology; and 4) an engineering oriented proof of concept (or a controlled experiment); which is the optimal methodology applied in information technology, applied mathematics and other types of engineering projects (Easterbrook, Singer, Storey & Damian, 2008). The uniqueness of this research project is based on its holistic approach that: Combines: 1) BTP; 2) AHMM; 3) software modelling and architecture; 4) business engineering; 5) financial analysis; 6) BTM; and 6) global enterprise architecture. The mathematical model with its artefacts. The mathematical model’s integration in the information and communication technology system. The holistic management of the decision making system, using a mathematical model
