BP Trends Article A Framework for Defining and Designing the Structure of Work

Description

The first of a three-part series describing a framework for modeling the Business Architecture layer of Enterprise Architecture. Their view, and the approach that has evolved from it, is in contrast to the IT-centric Business Architecture that generally prevails in organizations.

To learn what that means and how to apply it to your own circumstance, read this well written presentation, enhanced by diagrams illustrating their concepts.
