A.2.2. Value Chain

Alignment of business capabilities with EKG pathway.

The capability Value Chain (A.2.2) is part of the capability area Business Model Elaboration in the Business Pillar.

Alignment of business capabilities with EKG pathway.

The Value Chain capability is about having the Value Chain(s) defined, updated, used and managed.

McKinsey Digital

Most global companies are now actively considering the ecosystem business model given its value-generation potential: growing the core business, expanding the network and portfolio, and generating revenues from new products and services.

Value chains have been a prominent way of organizing and linking activities in an Enterprise to create value for its customers, thorough provision of products and services. Digitalization and the increasing focus on consumer-centricity has pushed the imperatives of Value Chains to include more holistic collaborations in the business ecosystem---reshaping provision of services and access to untapped pools of value.

Work in progress

Maturity Level 1

  • Data quality business rules (conditions) have been defined, documented and, verified by subject matter experts (SMEs) (process for evaluation and acceptance defined)
  • Business rules are aligned with in-scope use cases and specific user stories
  • Business rules are standardized and registered into a repository with a defined mechanism for logging additions and performing updates

Maturity Level 2

  • A defined architecture exists to translate business rules into machine-executable code (some rules will be OWL expressions, some will be SHACL shapes and SHACL constraints, some will be translated into workflow logic)
  • Business provenance and lineage are traceable across the data supply chain and evaluated against defined business rules (all business rules must be traceable and understandable in context---must understand the purpose and importance of the rule)
  • Business rules for in-scope use cases are implemented in the EKG

Maturity Level 3

  • Metrics---The measurement criteria are defined for data quality business rules (which rules are executed, how often, improvement)
  • Performance---The value of business rules are related to business concepts (products, financial performance, organizational objectives)---able to trace the core relationship between the business objectives and the data quality business rules (correlation between rules and outcomes are known, able to be queried and traceable within the EKG)

Maturity Level 4

  • Business rules are combined with AI capability for compliance (dynamic optimization of business rules)
  • Model-driven (senior management can begin to optimize business objectives using business rules in the EKG---i.e. alignment of business rules with “what if” scenarios)

Maturity Level 5

  • All business rules are driven by business objectives (objectives are in the EKG with appropriate scorecards)

Work in progress. Explain how EKG contributes value and how this capability or capability- enables higher levels of maturity for the EKG (which in turn provides more value to the business)

Warn

Work in progress. Explain how things are done today in a non-EKG context

Warn

Work in progress. Explain how the given Capability or Capability Area would look like in a mature EKG context.
