Let's talk about something exciting in the business architecture world. You know how organizations are always trying to bridge that gap between strategy and execution? Well, the Orthogramic model, showcased by converting the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing's annual report, is making waves by taking business architecture to the next level. See the annual report of the department fully restructured using the Orthogramic metamodel.

Now, BIZBOK has been our trusted companion for years. It's that comprehensive framework we've all come to rely on for defining strategy, capabilities, and value streams. But Orthogramic takes these foundations and supercharges them for practical use.
Aspect | Orthogramic Model | BIZBOK Framework |
Strategic Alignment | Direct and explicit mapping of all components (Capabilities, Value Streams) to strategic goals. | Strategy is a domain but not directly tied to all components; mapping is implied or inferred. |
Granularity of Data | Highly detailed inputs, outputs, and performance metrics for capabilities and value streams. | Emphasis on defining key domains (Capabilities, Value Streams) but less operational detail. |
Performance Integration | KPIs and metrics integrated within the core metamodel as part of capabilities and value streams. | Performance often treated as a separate analysis outside the core business architecture model. |
Interdependencies | Explicitly models dependencies between value streams, capabilities, and organisational units. | Dependencies may be modelled but are not as central or structured. |
Improvement Opportunities | Directly documented for each capability and value stream. | Improvement areas are typically identified during analysis but are not a core part of the metamodel. |
Maturity Assessment | Maturity levels are specified for capabilities and value streams. | Maturity models exist in BIZBOK but are not a required element of the core metamodel. |
Stakeholder Engagement | Stakeholders are mapped to organisational goals and capabilities. | Stakeholders are referenced but not systematically integrated into the metamodel. |
Compliance and Standards | Compliance elements explicitly documented for each value stream. | Compliance is often outside the scope of the metamodel but may be referenced. |
Tools and Technologies | Specific tools and technologies supporting capabilities and value streams are included. | Tools and technologies are typically addressed in implementation phases, not in the core metamodel. |

As business gets more complex, we need architecture models that do more than just describe - we need them to guide action. Orthogramic's unified approach to strategy, execution, and performance is setting new standards for operational excellence. While BIZBOK continues to provide that solid foundation, Orthogramic is showing us what the future of business architecture looks like.You can find the
