Using Business Architecture to Understand the End-to-End Value Proposition in a Public Sector Organization

Being able to deliver high performance citizen centric services require a complete understanding of the end-to-end value chain. This value chain links the needs of stakeholders to the interaction of clients through and across the resources and activities of the public sector organizations. In the public sector, the delivery of the services is supported by the administration of programs that are orchestrated through strategic planning.

The Canada Border Services Agency has created a framework of business descriptions. The framework addresses motivation, activity and results aspects of strategic planning, program administration, and service delivery. The framework is realized through the implementation of a meta-data driven repository that leverages and evolves the structures of the Government of Canada Strategic Reference Model and the Program Activity Architecture. The result is a business architecture reference model known as the Agency Business Model (ABM).

This presentation will discuss the structure of the reference model and the value the ABM brings to providing IM and IT enabled citizen centric services.
