Map your enterprise
The Milky Way map helps you clarify your questions of how to implement new ideas, grow your business and make it more efficient.
The model
- The map shows what the enterprise does in terms of its business capabilities, the information it handles and the IT support systems it uses to do that, and how these relate to the steps of the value flow. The map becomes a stable representation of the enterprise and an anchor model for many other types of information and questions that need to be answered.
What you can find in the map
- The main steps in the value flow.
- The organisation’s capabilities (what is done within the organisation)
