7. Capability Maps ‐ Example
# BIZBOK Guide
2.2 Capability Map
• Capabilities to Level 2 • Business perspective• Heat Maps• Competitive Differentiators
10
• 3+ year Roadmap. Tasks and Metrics by Quarter for first 2 years.• Business Vision is directional & unconstrained = projections, prototypes, etc.• Future State is constrained (e.g. by investment decisions & capacities)• Roadmap is directionally aligned with Business vision & projections• Provides context for holistically integrated organization change management

9. Lessons LearnedChallenges• Maintenance overhead• Entrenched thinking• IT Bottleneck• Metrics• Legacy platform / “Tribal”• ERP Risks• Staff Turnover• Turf issues • Mgmt. firefighting • Near‐term Vision• Process focus (not holistic)
Insights• 80% of time on Future State• ‘Just enough’ principle• Tailor and adapt (e.g. org. lifecycle)• Exec. Sponsorship / Governance• Change Mgmt: Engage (ongoing)• Research • Innovation Team• Straw models / Wireframes / Prototypes• Lean workshops• Agile development• Link to pain points• Link to differentiators• Link to critical metrics• Deliver value fast (ongoing)

10. Innovation Drivers“Push factors” (Burning Platform)• Intolerable / Unacceptable Current State• Global tends (Global, mobile, social, data)• CompetitionProactive Innovation Strategy• Learning Organization (includes, but not limited to, ‘big‐data’)• Innovation Team (Prototyping team)• Customer complaints• Best Practice Gap Analysis (ERP Provider)• Research / Case Studies (e.g. HBR, Gartner, Gallup etc.)• Outside expertise for intractable problems• Improvement workshops with stretch goals (Kaizen events)• Rapid, trial‐&‐error experimentation (Marketing / Pace layers)
