Natural Resources Firm Applies Capability Maps To Bring Order To Its Business Environment

Distributed and fast-paced business organizations are a major challenge for IT. Distributed business units tend to see the world from their viewpoint, creating overlapping and sometimes competing projects for IT to sort out — and the faster the pace, the bigger the challenge. This is exactly the problem that a growing natural resources company is facing. To tame this complexity, the company is employing business capability maps to help business leaders understand the IT resources they are consuming, identify best practices they can leverage, and create a more tightly aligned vision of the future. Even though the company is just getting started, its capability mapping process has already brought business and IT closer together.
