Abstract

The previous chapters presented and analyzed various approaches on Information Management, Information Operation, Information Orientation and Information Evolution. This chapter discusses the foundation for an information approach. In doing so, Chap. 6 presents an approach for building a foundation for execution. This means an IT infrastructure with automated business processes that synchronize a company’s fundamental operational and technological capabilities. The chapter explains how to build a foundation for strategy execution and defines an organizational operating model. Thereafter, it goes though the types and dimensions of the operating model and explains how to implement an organizational operating model through enterprise architecture.
