Building Enterprise Architecture Capability<\/h5>\n

We introduced our Smart Capability offering to ensure that you can continue what we started. We can therefore help you to create an enterprise architecture capability or we can manage it for you as a service. If you already have such a capability and are in need of some resources, we can supplement it with our very experienced and comprehensive resourcing capability.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nEA Capability<\/span><\/a>EA Maturity Assessment<\/span><\/a>EA Skills Transfer<\/span><\/a>EA Resource Capability<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

EA Capability<\/span><\/h5>\n

At Knotion we believe that an enterprise architecture capability should be effective and quick to deliver value. The plea for fast value-generation is universal: organisations today do not have the luxury of spending months on the establishment of an EA practice. We have created various techniques and developed our own approaches, based on TOGAF and Archimate.\u00a0 Our approach assist clients to rapidly develop their EA capability.<\/p>\n

EA departments need to \u2018earn the right\u2019 to do EA. The only way to earn this right is through the generation of real value \u2013 i.e. enabling stakeholders to make decisions, plan effectively, manage risk and optimise their business units. In response to this need, Knotion\u2019s interactive EA establishment life-cycle approach allows for the quicker generation of value-adding EA content to stakeholders.<\/p>\n

An EA that does not support the unique requirements, culture and context of the organisation, is not sustainable and will fail to generate value. In line with this our experience have shown that a large part of most EA capabilities can be commoditised. This has been done by us. When we engage with you, we only need to focus on those things that will make your EA capability unique and add value relevant to your EA vision.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nBACK TO TOP<\/span><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

EA Maturity Assessment<\/span><\/h5>\n

We have developed a cross life-cycle capability maturity development framework that encompasses a maturity development matrix and a maturity tracking matrix.<\/p>\n

A simplistic four-quadrant maturity model identifies four maturity positions based on the level of architectural thinking and the level of architecture integration into the organisation. The ideal maturity position is \u2018Optimising\u2019.<\/p>\n

The matrices define 18 maturity focus areas, and 13 maturity stages for systematically moving the enterprise into an \u2018Optimising\u2019 position. The matrices also provide maturity development activities and maturity tracking milestones, respectively per focus area and maturity stage.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nBACK TO TOP<\/span><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
