Strategic objective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategic objective will be brighteing up. The goal must be seen as a short-and long-term development path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objectives must be clear in order to draft development projects. Clear targets include growth (growth in turnover of 20%, three new products annually, cost reductions, development of employee motivation through new working methods).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objectives must also be communicating so that everyone is clear; Similarly, we must define what is expected to achieve the objectives. Communication is done by creating a company strategy Plan (blueprint).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Background work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background work is an integral part of architectural creation. The background work must include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sufficient current state analysis (customers, products, processes)<\/li><li>Megatrends, Industry Foresight<\/li><li>Competition profile\/SWOT\/PESTLE.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It may occasionally be appropriate to carry out an external market investigation to determine the expectations of the current and emerging markets. Customers &#8217; ability and willingness to pay for products or services can open their eyes to see new opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background work is also an organizational training for future transformation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Skills and Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the system architecture is comprehensive and complete, the project will also be resourdable correctly. The right people will ensure that difficult decisions can also be taken effectively: the financing of the project and the necessary persons will be made available as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of the architecture team must be the CEO or, indeed, in the big companies, at least a member of the management team with an adequate view of the company&#8217;s strategy process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To manage your workflow, strategy material, and development programs, you may need to obtain a software tool designed to use it (e.g. Fingertip, Orbus\/iServer&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Create a system architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system architecture itself is built as a project \u2013 later its maintenance is part of a continuous development effort. The ITIL model or the TOGAF reference framework may, where<strong> appl<\/strong>icable, be use<strong>d as a<\/strong> reference frame. <strong>The Za<\/strong>chman Cage can also be a good tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, none of the tools can substitute for your own thinking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The architecture must include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Business<\/li><li>Information management Perspective<\/li><li>Information Systems<\/li><li>Infrastructure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The architecture must be balanced in terms of business and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Careful planning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Architectural construction is a very wide-ranging project, so construction needs to be carefully planned. Without good planning, the whole project begins to stretch and be randomly controlled by the current acute situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In planning, you should include an external entity that is able to compile a schedule that is disconnected from the company&#8217;s internist power games. This ensures a balanced project progression and the best result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Change Management <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a changing competitive situation, organisations seem to have a tendency to stick to existing practices. To overcome this situation, consider the change planning to be included right from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phoster.fi\/?page_id=85\">Managed change manageme<\/a>nt clarifies the project&#8217;s objectives, impacts on operations and organization, creates policies to identify changes, strengthens roles and responsibilities. You should also take advantage of an existing model in change management (e.g. <strong>Kotter<\/strong> 8 Step Model).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The progress of the change must be continuously monitored and deviations must be responded to according to the plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
