In today’s dynamic business landscape, the ability to efficiently manage and integrate systems across departments and projects is crucial. Traditional Capability Models, though useful, often fall short of offering a comprehensive solution that ensures scalability, alignment, and optimization across the enterprise. Enter the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model—a robust framework that provides a multivariable approach to enterprise architecture, ensuring full coverage of all essential aspects from strategy to execution.
In this blog, we will explore the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model and compare it to traditional capability models. Using Hotel Booking Management as a case study, we'll highlight the strengths of the ICMG model, the concept of One Enterprise, One Anatomy, and how the Anatomy Model’s different editions cater to project, department, and enterprise needs.
Why Capability Models are Limited
Capability Models are widely used to define the specific functions or abilities of a system, such as Hotel Booking Management for a hotel business or a hotel booking platform. These models are designed to manage specific functions within a system, helping businesses streamline operations.
For example, the Hotel Booking Management capability allows users to:
Search & Filtering: Users search for hotels based on location, dates, and preferences.
Comparison: The ability to compare hotels based on amenities and price.
Booking: Payment processing and booking confirmation.
Post-booking services: Reminders and notifications for users.
However, while Capability Models serve a purpose, they often fail to provide a holistic view of how these functions integrate into the broader business and IT landscape. This limitation leaves gaps in understanding how the capability interacts with the entire enterprise, leading to assumptions about its impact on strategy, technology, and operations.
