The intended business transformation introduces big changes to a very large part of the business, enabling their work with modern technology. The challenge was to structure the business change and align it to technology, by creating a flexible way of understanding the business components to be transformed. ### Work Performed By Our Team To support the WPIT Programme in getting to the outcomes a [Business Architecture](https://www.leonardo.com.au/business-architecture-consulting) has been developed in conjunction, underpinned by a custom-built WPIT architecture meta-model. This delivered an overarching flexible Business Architecture, with content developed under the just enough design principle, focusing on linking the important content together in modules, Business Services. In conjunction with EY - Leonardo delivered: - - Development of flexible Business Architecture - Development of Business Services approach and structure - Encapsulation of Business Architecture design content (including but not limited to: processes, rules, owners, providers, technology, capabilities) under the Business Services - Development of a method for connecting other architecture domains (e.g. data and technology) to the business architecture ### Value For Client - Overarching structure for organising business components to be transformed - Construct of Business Services implemented to assist in prioritising work and resolving dependencies - Connected to WPIT Meta model to keep the end-to-end view together - Development of Service Dashboard as entry portal to allow easy access to interconnected architecture content  ## Want to learn more ?
