BizOps — When technology enables business

Organizational values and human capital — not plans and technology — help organizations achieve their goals and missions. BizOps is a value-chain-based framework that drives business transformation by creating a set of values across people, processes, and technology. The values are created and harnessed by developing core capabilities in multiple areas enabled by the next-generation solutions (aka technology). BizOps also aligns well with Gartner’s PACE-Layered Architecture.

A while back, I created a framework to tie business and technology to showcase how technology drives business outcomes.

The basic idea is to tie individual products to various competencies and human capital to show a holistic view.

I am not going to explain the framework because I have scrubbed it. Anyway, the details that are relevant to me will be irrelevant to you.

Please take a look and feel free to repurpose it for your use. Use it as inspiration and generate new ideas to tell your story.
