Without following this basic structure your contribution won't be useful. Please do not just add in an artifact without stopping to think about what problem it solves and how it can provide value to others. * If you are contributing a standard model (meaning it is the output of a … text/html 2010-09-01T20:08:58-04:00 http://www.omgwiki.org/bawg/doku.php?id=ba-mapping_vocabulary_semantic_metamodel&rev=1283386138 Working Group Calls 9/1/2010 Summary Discussion of agenda and topics for the BA Information day in Cambridge.

Description Goals are organized into a set of perspectives which correspond to the key stakeholder perspectives as well as the ability to sustain the organization's performance. The four “standard” perspectives are as follows: text/html 2010-09-02T11:27:56-04:00 http://www.omgwiki.org/bawg/doku.php?id=bscmetacurrent&rev=1283441276 Balanced Scorecard Metamodel Introduction The Balanced Scorecard and associated business strategy themes (Strategy Maps, Alignment, Value Streams) have proved to be very popular methods for successfully implementing business strategies. However, the practice of these strategy themes has been variable, and there are few tools to support the collection, analysis and monitoring of Balanced Scorecard initiatives. text/html 2008-09-15T19:33:05-04:00 http://www.omgwiki.org/bawg/doku.php?id=businessarchitectureitalignmentmapping&rev=1221521585 Business Architecture / IT Architecture Mapping Business Value This relational model is used to depict and expose relationships among business architecture and IT architecture artifacts. The business relationships include organizational, value chain, information, project, and product artifacts. The IT architecture artifacts include applications and major data stores.

This extension of the metamodel is focused on a substrategy EnhanceCustomerValue of the set of GrowthStrategies. One way to implement this strategy is to deliver existing products at a lower price. This would be a specialization of EnhanceCustomerValueAction.

The binary relation InitiativeDrivesAction captures this implementation. Not all Initiatives will have Actions, but those with Actions are Programs. Causal chaining in Strategy Maps is modeled as a cascade of Actions and their Effects. Actions are linked to their Effects through the binary relation ActionHasEffect. Effects in turn can enable or trigger other Actions. This is modeled with the binary rela… text/html 2010-09-02T12:08:17-04:00 http://www.omgwiki.org/bawg/doku.php?id=intperspectivediagram&rev=1283443697 The Internal Perspective Diagram This diagram illustrates how the Internal_Perspective contains ProcessGroups.

The purpose of this effort is to understand the coverage of the domain of business concepts by existing and proposed standards and to determine overlaps and gaps in the standards.

The typical merger or acquisition brings another company under the umbrella of another company. This may have a significant impact, such as two banks merging into one, or is may be of a lesser impact where a conglomerate brings a related company under its wing.
