Frameworks and Conceptual Models for Documenting Business Models and Strategy-related Parts of an Enterprise Architecture

A fews weeks ago Nick Malik released version 3.5 of the Enterprise Business Motivation Model (EBMM) (see his corresponding blog post here). On the occasion of that new release I reflected the list of frameworks and conceptual models I know for documenting business models and strategy-related parts of an enterprise architecture. Actually this list is manifold. The … Continue reading Frameworks and Conceptual Models for Documenting Business Models and Strategy-related Parts of an Enterprise Architecture
