Business Capability Mapping

Create hierarchical business capability models that bridge strategy and architecture. Based on BABOK v3 Business Capability Analysis (10.6).

What is a Business Capability?

A business capability defines "what" a business does at its core, independent of:

• How it's done (processes)
• Who does it (organizational structure)
• Where it's done (locations)

Capabilities are stable over time, even as processes, technology, and org structure change.

Capability Hierarchy

Capability Types

Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery

Before creating a capability map, understand the business domain:

1. Analyze existing documentation

   • Review business processes, org charts, strategy docs
   • Identify actors, work objects, activities

2. Conduct stakeholder interviews

   • Invoke stakeholder-analysis skill to identify key stakeholders
   • Interview domain experts for capability insights

3. Use discovered patterns as L1 capability candidates

Phase 2: Capability Identification

Step 1: Define L1 Capabilities

Start with industry frameworks, then customize:

## L1 Capabilities (Example: Retail)

| # | Capability | Type | Description |
|---|------------|------|-------------|
| 1 | Product Management | Core | Manage product lifecycle |
| 2 | Customer Management | Core | Manage customer relationships |
| 3 | Order Fulfillment | Core | Process and deliver orders |
| 4 | Supply Chain | Core | Manage suppliers and inventory |
| 5 | Finance & Accounting | Supporting | Financial operations |
| 6 | Human Resources | Supporting | People management |
| 7 | IT Services | Supporting | Technology operations |
| 8 | Marketing | Strategic | Brand and customer acquisition |

Step 2: Decompose to L2

For each L1, identify sub-capabilities:

## L2 Decomposition: Customer Management

| L2 Capability | Owner | Maturity | Systems |
|---------------|-------|----------|---------|
| Customer Onboarding | Customer Success | 3 | CRM, KYC |
| Customer Support | Support Team | 4 | Ticketing, Chat |
| Customer Retention | Marketing | 2 | CRM, Analytics |
| Customer Analytics | Data Team | 2 | BI Platform |

Step 3: Decompose to L3 (as needed)

Only decompose where detail is needed for planning:

## L3 Decomposition: Customer Onboarding

| L3 Capability | Description | Status |
|---------------|-------------|--------|
| Identity Verification | Verify customer identity | Automated |
| Account Creation | Create customer account | Automated |
| KYC Processing | Know Your Customer compliance | Semi-manual |
| Welcome Communication | Onboarding emails/guides | Automated |

Phase 3: Cross-Mapping

Map capabilities to other domains for strategic analysis:

Phase 4: Assessment

Score each capability on maturity and strategic importance:

Maturity Scale (1-5):

1. Initial - Ad hoc, reactive
2. Developing - Some structure
3. Defined - Standardized processes
4. Managed - Measured and controlled
5. Optimizing - Continuous improvement

Heat Map Visualization:

## Capability Heat Map

| Capability | Maturity | Importance | Gap | Action |
|------------|----------|------------|-----|--------|
| Customer Onboarding | 3 | High | Low | Maintain |
| Customer Analytics | 2 | High | High | Invest |
| IT Services | 4 | Medium | Low | Maintain |
| HR Admin | 3 | Low | Low | Outsource? |
