Modelling strategy with ArchiMate

Abstract

This paper investigates whether the ArchiMate modelling language can be used to model the most commonly used strategy models and concepts. This can be considered as an important step into closing the gap between Business and IT. By having a better understanding of what is needed to model strategy, we can analyse if the current version of the ArchiMate modelling language is sufficient or what additions need to be made. Also by knowing how the strategic concepts are used in the context of business we hope to improve the way they are modelled with ArchiMate. In order to do this, we start by taking a look at the strategic planning process and identify its main concepts. It starts by presenting the strategic planning process and its corresponding concepts and strategy models. This is followed by an analysis of the suitability of ArchiMate in which we argue that resource and capability concepts are concepts that should be included in the next versions of the language. Lastly, we demonstrate how strategy can be modelled with the help of a case study.

Pemodelan Sistem Informasi Order Fullfillment Pada Perusahaan Diesel Menggunakan Enterprise Architecture Planning Archimate

“…Untuk mengembangkannya, perusahaan dapat menggunakan pendekatan perencanaan arsitektur [16]. Salah satu dasar perencanaan enterprise architechture adalah mengatasi integrasi di seluruh perusahaan, melalui prinsip metode yang digunakan untuk memetakan struktur organisasi, proses bisnis, aliran informasi, sistem informasi dan infrastruktur [17][18]. Membuat konsep saat ini dapat membuat perencanaan strategis yang lebih spesifik secara langsung dengan pemodelan arsitektur [19].…”

Business Model Grounds and Links

“…But, the issue of linking and aligning business models, or antecedent strategy models, with information system related models can be found in works belonging to research on information systems, information technologies, enterprise architecture, and similar (e.g. [64], [65], [66], [48], [51], [67]). Authors demonstrate mapping of the business model components onto enterprise architecture components and vice versa if possible.…”

The Strategy Blueprint - A Strategy Process Computer-Aided Design Tool

“…To better understand and design the relationships between the phases of the Strategy Blueprint, we have mapped the core concepts of the nine chosen strategy techniques to the ArchiMate 3.0 modelling language, based on the guidelines provided by Aldea et al (2015). Table 1 presents our concept map.…”
