Enterprise Business Architecture Project
Last couple of months, I've been engaged in a Project Manager Cum Consultant in a project. The project entails study of enterprise business requirements with the aim of formulating an enterprise business blueprint for implementation of an ERP systems.
It is very interesting engagement. The PM role is pretty much straight forward. The exciting part is engaging top leaders of the company and business managers to align company vision, mission, KRA/KPI, from corporate level to SBUs. Invariably and not too unexpectedly, there was some discrepanies between what are said at the top level, and what get understood at the lower levels. Alignment of this nature is paramount importance within an organisation, and it just cannot be taken for granted that mesaages are being cascaded down concisely and pertinently, in ways to drive the organisation forward as a totally coherent unit. At certain point in time within the planning horizon, a self assessment must done to see if the alignment is very much intake as intended.
