Innovation in Enterprise Architecture

Abstract

Innovation in Enterprise Architecture, Process Management and Capability Management is a major source of strategic advantage and economic benefit, that ensures growth in the value of Dubai Customs. These practices were developed and became widely accepted when executives realized they are of great value to the organization. They are an important corporate resource that if built and consumed properly will lead to improving the organization’s competitiveness. As a consequence of the growth in these practices, the culture of innovation developed, thus providing additional tools for practitioners. The approach we took in Dubai customs to implementing Enterprise Architecture and other best practices allowed us to establish a model for other organizations in the pursuit of organization excellence. Our approach to is based on the integration of multiple complementing practice areas to ensure the highest level of effectiveness. The practice areas are:

  • Innovation Management
  • Enterprise Architecture
  • Capability Management
  • Process Management
At the heart of the overall approach is what we call the “Enterprise Connected View” (ECV) which is an information repository that connects information about various aspects of the organization to provide the basis for evaluating the impact of proposed changes on the organization from people, process, technology and information perspectives.
