Enterprises today operate in a world that is intensely competitive, rapidly changing, and increasingly uncertain that make business decisions complex and difficult. Characterized by the essential use of information technology and an ever-changing global marketplace, enterprises are challenged with new technologies, shorter product life cycles, customer demands, and greater regulatory requirements.
The Opportunities
The challenges enterprises face create the opportunities for growth and change. It is these opportunities that drive the need for enterprises to take a different approach of how they fundamentally view, assess and manage their business, people, and technology.
Unique Idea, Deeper Understanding
exist in order to create greater synergy throughout the enterprise. This led to the philosophy of ‘Enterprise Relativity,’ the notion that the complexities and uncertainties that enterprises have to address are not because of the elements that comprise the enterprise, but their relevancies and relationships.
Through extensive research combined with over 30 years of experience, Simitec has developed a framework and methodology that breaks down the enterprise into a few primary dimensions and their relationships in order to identify the key congruencies and competing values.
Enterprise Relativity is about taking a unique approach toward the challenges and issues that every enterprise experience today in order to:
Different Perspective, Greater Insight
The challenges that enterprises face today are interrelated, thereby interconnected. These challenges create contradictory and complementary realities. Every organization experiences these realities at varying degrees and addresses these realities in varying ways.
The SEE (Strategically Enabled Enterprise) framework is comprised of two lenses that provides a view of its workspace (business persona) and workplace (organizational psyche) that are influenced by the external factors of competitive forces, customer demand, technological change, social and legal and regulatory environment. From these vantage points, there are three frames of reference ― the organizational, business, and technology architectures. These all lead to one epicenter of strategic, tactical, operational, and technology enablement.
The two lenses allows to see the enterprise as a dichotomy of its aptitude and attitude that are tied to its viability and vitality.
| Enterprise Viability (Aptitude) | Succeed in the global marketplace, function as an effective enterprise, develop into a mature enterprise, and create financial sustainability. |
| Enterprise Vitality (Attitude) | Nurture an energized empowered workplace, develop the enterprise’s greatest asset and primary stakeholder (employees) toward optimal performance, engage stakeholders in bilateral partnerships and networked relationships, and create enduring organizational learning and growth. |
Innovative Approach, Better Results
The SEE (Strategically Enabled Enterprise) framework attempts to offer a more comprehensive view of an enterprise, which is basically comprised of the three architectures of organizational (people), business, and technology. The SEE framework is based on the following two disciplines:
| Organizational Design | Building enterprises of the future that encompasses the combination of role-based workspace and behavioral-based workplace. |
| Enterprise Architecture | The discipline of enterprise architecture that extends beyond the traditional business and IT alignment. SEE suggests equal focus and attention must be given to the organizational aspect of the enterprise. |
