Business Capability Maps are Easy to Generate

In the Dragon1 Viewer, you see a business capability map with 37 capabilities, grouped in 9 domains. Note that organizations usually have over 200 capabilities and 20 domains. This business capability map diagram supports many analyses of activities and management activities.

By doing the Dragon1 Demo Steps, you can filter the capability diagram and report a weakness using an Excel sheet and do a round trip with that Excel sheet.

Introduction in Business Capabilities - What are they?

Capabilities are a relatively new term in organizations. They are similar functions, processes, and activities, but not the same. To make the difference clear, we use the following example:

Suppose a company provides a service to clients to organize annual employee events.

A Business function of the company would then be 'Event Management'. This only tells us that this company manages events, nothing more.

A business function is an unstructured and unordered group of business activities.

A Business process is a group of activities of one or more business functions to optimize alignment between these activities.

Business processes, in this case, could be:

• event program creation
• organize locations
• ordering catering

A Business activity is a group of tasks that one or more persons or systems can carry out.

Business activities could be:

• discuss draft event program with client
• visit a location
• compare visited locations

A Business capability is a process, activity, and task that the company can execute at a certain level of performance or service level quality.

Examples of business capabilities in this example case are:

• Organizing 1000 events per month
• visiting 100 locations per day
• 100% self service event planning online

You can think of business capabilities for your company by using the sentence: Are we, or should we be capable of delivering this outstanding performance?

A Capabilities Based Assessment is used to identify the current and future capabilities needed to achieve organizational goals, and to assess potential gaps and risks.
