Subject: EDGY Capability Extention is coming!

Hi Friend,

Capabilities have been a core concept in EDGY since we launched it last year. The current EDGY specification defines the concept and provides a brief description only.

Are you involved in Capability modeling and looking for practical advice?

Intersection Group is working on an extension of EDGY that provides just that - detailed Capability design patterns collected from people with decades of experience, designed for practical applicability both in strategic management consulting and in IT governance.

Want to learn more? We have something for you!

Our webinar next week Thursday at 4 pm CET presents a sneak preview of what we want to publish within the next couple of months. Join Jim Dowling, Richard Lynch and Wolfgang Goebl and dive into the world of next-generation Capability maps.

If you want to gain even deeper insights into using Capabilities for strategic management consulting and into how capabilities should replace organizational charts in discussions about delivery, we highly recommend the Capability Development Course by our friends from Capable Company.

Milan and Wolfgang

June 13, 4pm (CEST)

Bring your Capability Maps to the next level!

Capability models have a long history. They came out of business schools in the 50ies. In recent years the enterprise- and business architecture communities seem to have taken over, making capabilities more an IT rather than a business modeling concept. Most capability models we've seen fail to achieve their original purpose: to enable business people to design better enterprises - ones that are fit for purpose, efficient, adaptive to change and satisfy customers.

You will learn:

practical patterns to create capability maps that foster a seamless business & IT co-design
why most capability modeling efforts fail and how to overcome the usual problems
how to connect other elements of the architecture with capabilities - how to run a broad elicitation process with all relevant stakeholders
how to use capability maps in corporate management

Next Cohort: July 16—25, 2024

Organizations that don’t express strategy in the form of capabilities often end up asking, “Why isn’t the strategy working?” To solve that dilemma, Capabilities emerge as a “Rosetta Stone” to translate strategy into projects and processes that are needed to produce desired results. We contend that Capability Models replace organizational charts in discussions about delivery. It answers the question, “What must we be able to do to execute our strategy and deliver results?” This is the work of leaders at all levels. Capabilities connect the work of IT, Business Architecture, Organization Design, Lean Teams, the PMO, and other functions trying to get the right things done.

In this course, you will apply methods and tools to define capabilities, practice modelling capabilities and assessing them. You will have more than 7 hours of direct access to the faculty, including time after each live session plus the opportunity to engage members of the cohort and learn from them.

Following the course, you and your team will be prepared to look at your organization through the lens of capabilities and join in strategy pursuit.

Enterprises strive to achieve their purpose by creating products that feature in people's experiences. To do so, they must design and realise their capabilities by orchestrating meaningful combinations of people and assets. Each capability produces well-defined outputs for internal or external business use and contributes directly or indirectly to product creation.

Capabilities guide the modularisation of our enterprise by defining boundaries around what "belongs together" and what is distinct from other capabilities. By deriving the realising processes and assets (such as the required organisation and applications), a well-designed capability model leads to enterprises and organisations that are adaptive to change. Capabilities can be decomposed into sub-capabilities (usually levels 1-3) to create a hierarchy. Each capability must have a clearly assigned business owner to ensure its strategic development and the effective creation of intended outputs.
