The Business Technology Standard Capability Model
What is The Business Technology Capability Model?
The Business Technology Standard Capability Model defines five disciplines and 28 related capabilities in the form of a standardized framework. The standard consists of four horizontal disciplines (Strategy, and Governance, Sourcing and Optimisation, Development and Services) and a vertical Demand discipline intersecting with the other four disciplines.
The Demand discipline defines strategy to plans capabilities, while the other four disciplines define capabilities for plans to capability and plans to benefits process flows. The outcome to insights is a progress flow closing the loop and provides input to the demand.
The purpose of Demand capabilities is to define the strategic intention, capture the business demand, turn them into plans and make development initiatives.
Strategy and Governance as well as sourcing and optimization take the plans as an input and implement the required capability and capacity to implement them. They also provide guidance and steering to development and services disciplines which deliver the actual business benefits.
The Capability Model and its 28 standardised capability elements or blocks, form a good foundation for self-assessment and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of an organisation in a holistic way.
Xonetic can provide a Business Technology Assessment which amongst other things includes a high-level review of an organisations maturity against the Capability Model. Understanding an organisations maturity against the Business Technology Standard is a key first step to implementing the standard and the business gaining benefit from it.
