Business transformation
specifications along with blueprints provide the foundation for
managing business transformation programs. Reports are provided for:

The Knowledge neXus provides a
robust series of standard reports to support the use of the neXus
enterprise model. With the Knowledge nexus, you can author new
reports for your specific needs. The knowledgebase underlying the
neXus enterprise model is also highly extensible. Using the
knowledgebase in combination with neXus’s report scripting, you can
perform complex analysis such as impact assessment and net income
analysis.
Documents published from the
enterprise model serve to communicate segments of the model that are
relevant to each stage of the enterprise change process. The neXus
itself remains the primary source of knowledge. Reports are
snapshots taken from the neXus. You always make changes to the
neXus model rather than to the published documents.

Business Architecture
|
These reports allow the analyst
to specify all of the components for a change program.
Organization, products and services, bills of material, and supply
chains may be specified. The Business Architecture Document serves
as a summary “blueprint” to align the efforts of organizations
developing or acquiring human resources, information technologies,
facilities and equipment assets. Asset inventory reports provide a
summary of each major type of asset employed by the business.

Financial Reports
|
In order to understand the
performance of a business it is necessary to understand its
financial dynamics. The primary tool for assessing operational
performance is the income statement. Net income analysis derives an
income statement from the enterprise operational model that includes
organization, products, services, processes, assets, and knowledge.
The income statement allows analysts to compare alternatives for
changing business operations. Bottom line financial results support
high order decision making.

Process Reports
|
These reports along with process
diagrams are used by business and process analysts to summarize the
operation of the businesses that comprise the enterprise. Income
Statement by Process reports are used to communicate knowledge and
to evaluate proposed changes. The reports support “gap analyses” to
determine additional requirements for assets such as human
competencies in order to implement the new process.

Strategy and Performance
|
These reports provide the context
for change. Strategy defined by executives, tactics developed by
managers, and objectives measured by metrics provide the context for
change programs. Change program managers and analysts use
strategies, tactics, objectives, and metrics defined by the
management team to focus their analysis and to contribute to the
selection of changes to be implemented.

Human Capital Reports
|
Human capital analysts break down the
set of human capabilities required by a change program into a
corresponding set of human competencies. These competencies are
then packaged by design into roles which are finally assigned to
positions. You can produce position description reports to use
either in a hiring process or in a instructional design process.

Knowledge Reports |
This set of documents shows where
knowledge in used within business processes and how this knowledge
is retained. The neXus captures knowledge about the form, location,
ownership, of knowledge, etc. of explicit and tacit
knowledge.

Impact Assessments
|
When programs propose changes to
business operations, it is necessary to understand the impact of
those changes in order to avoid unintended consequences and preserve
corporate knowledge. These reports enable analysts to identify
other processes and products that the proposed changes will impact.

Change Specifications
|
The result of the business
analysis is a model of the enterprise that consists of existing
assets that are required to perform a process, and also requires
capabilities provided by no available asset. During the business
analysis process analysts identify capabilities required by new
processes. These capabilities are organized into specifications
that are passed on from the business analysis team to the component
development teams including, for example, information technology and
human resources. These specifications are the point of departure
for analyzing each component discipline.

Change Program Reports
|
The reports in this section
document change programs. As new change programs are initiated they
are added into the neXus knowledgebase. Each program in the neXus
identifies a subset of impacted organizations and processes that
define the scope of other reports such as capability reports.

Software Development |
This set of reports offers an
optional interface to the software development organization.
Information Technology Capability Specifications may be turned over
directly to the IT development organization or initial phases of the
analysis can be conducted using neXus tools for use case analysis
and requirements capture. This latter approach offers tighter
integration between the business analysis and the IT analysis. For
example, actors in a use case may be directly linked to the roles
defined for business processes. Information technology capabilities
required by the business analysis are linked directly to use cases
and requirements. Subsequently software applications will be either
purchased or developed to provide the information technology
capabilities required by the business analysis.
