Business Technology, Clarity Alignment, & Analysis

Service Overview

Major change initiatives (such as core system transformation) fail not for reasons of a poor quality technology platform, but because senior stakeholders are not clear and aligned on targets and objectives. Farinpour Consulting’s methodology pushes for that clarity and alignment early in the cycle before the proposed solutions get large and expensive. Farinpour Consulting’s methodology is a business architecture/business consulting model that helps to articulate business capabilities which have to be evolved in the course of the projects/programs that will be delivered. Farinpour Consulting’s methodology involves a series of workshops which results in a single document (known as a ‘Business Target Operating Model’ or ‘BTOM’). The BTOM that describes a target state from the strategic, business capability, technology capability, and project/program roadmap perspective.

Stakeholder Alignment

The workshops and the resulting BTOM create alignment across stakeholders for major technology change programs. Workshops are typically attended by senior level stakeholders and grouped into strategy, business, technical and project portfolio workshops. Farinpour Consulting performs the pre-workshop analysis and workshop facilitation, provides an industry perspective on the topic, and develops the resulting BTOM documentation. The BTOM becomes a galvanizing target state perspective that helps to align business and IT viewpoints and lock down the sequence of project investments that will lead to specific business outcomes.

Farinpour Consulting’s Business Technology, Clarity Alignment, & Analysis services are a way for organizations to map their business strategy to the specific transformation projects and articulate the technology building blocks required to achieve strategic business results.
