The Business Technology Standard Capability Model

What is The Business Technology Capability Model?

The Business Technology Standard Capability Model defines five disciplines and 28 related capabilities in the form of a standardized framework. The standard consists of four horizontal disciplines (Strategy, and Governance, Sourcing and Optimisation, Development and Services) and a vertical Demand discipline intersecting with the other four disciplines.

The Demand discipline defines strategy to plans capabilities, while the other four disciplines define capabilities for plans to capability and plans to benefits process flows. The outcome to insights is a progress flow closing the loop and provides input to the demand.
The purpose of Demand capabilities is to define the strategic intention, capture the business demand, turn them into plans and make development initiatives.

Strategy and Governance as well as sourcing and optimization take the plans as an input and implement the required capability and capacity to implement them. They also provide guidance and steering to development and services disciplines which deliver the actual business benefits.

The Capability Model and its 28 standardised capability elements or blocks, form a good foundation for self-assessment and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of an organisation in a holistic way.

Xonetic can provide a Business Technology Assessment which amongst other things includes a high-level review of an organisations maturity against the Capability Model. Understanding an organisations maturity against the Business Technology Standard is a key first step to implementing the standard and the business gaining benefit from it.

Coach & Facilitator

ELENA VAN LEEMPUT

I like my work best when I can motivate and help other people. I constantly strive for excellence in everything I do and I’m open to different ideas that challenge my views. I believe in constant change which drives my innovative mindset. My background is both in technology and business with more than 15 years’ experience ranging from demand, development to service management. I enjoy taking initiative and carry out new ventures.

I try to keep things simple and bring my skills when I coach and facilitate to inspire people and help them innovate. I’m passionate about all forms of facilitation and coaching be it face-to-face or virtual facilitation. I also enjoy creating different e-learning training, holding innovation workshops and design thinking hackathons.

I also find it very important to nurture my creative side along the way (visual arts: photography, sketching, videography and all areas of design) through both my work and hobbies – which I’m happy to say I get to do often enough.

Coach & Facilitator

THOMAS HUGHES

I work as coach and facilitator in the Business Technology Academy. My focus is business simulation games such as the DevOps simulation. I consider myself a full-stack Business Technology professional of sorts. During the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in wide range of various IT and business management roles in and with organizations ranging from global enterprises to startups in a variety of industries.

I enjoy looking for new perspectives to phenomena and challenging myself and others to continuously develop ourselves and to expand our thinking. Being in the discomfort zone is the way to grow. As a coach I like to cross breed theoretical frameworks, practical examples, illuminating stories and humour. I see simulation games as a perfect way to combine these into an engaging and fun day.    

I enjoy exploring life through various projects and experiments. Some of these involve focused self-development both physically and mentally, while others focus more on creative aspirations related to areas like photography, writing and digital media.
