BTM Fusion 360 v6.0 Product Cut Sheet
BTM Fusion 360™ Capabilities define a set of organizational competencies that enable an enterprise to manage business and technology together. Maturity in these capabilities is achieved through the implementation of well-defined processes, appropriate organizational structures, timely information and appropriate technology automation.
Successfully implementing any of these capabilities will move an organization closer to the goal of business and technology convergence. This progress accelerates as each additional capability is realized and continuously improved. The BTM capabilities are interdependent and “networked.”
These capabilities are grouped in four functional areas: Governance & Organization, Strategy & Planning, Strategic Investment Management, and Strategic Enterprise Architecture. Each represents a specific management competency defined by the above mentioned four critical dimensions.
Standing alone, each capability represents a critical point of interaction in the enterprise between business and technology; more importantly, however, capabilities – and the interactions between them – are the building blocks of solutions to the thorniest issues facing enterprises, such as Achieving Sustainable Innovation, Creating an Agile Enterprise, Optimizing Service Delivery, Building an Extended Enterprise, Maximizing Growth, and others.
Strategy & Planning Strategy & Planning articulates required business capabilities and the technology plans to enable them; provides a disciplined means of ensuring that budgets reflect and support strategy; supports the creation and management of relationships with those partners best suited to an organization’s strategy; and integrates accumulated or acquired technology assets to ensure consistency with the enterprise’s strategy.
Strategic Investment Management Strategic Investment Management approves and prioritizes technology investments; develops and manages enterprise project and asset portfolios and provides appropriate reporting; establishes and manages business-technology demand and resource requirements; and applies business technology to project execution through the implementation lifecycle.
Strategic Enterprise Architecture Strategic Enterprise Architecture describes the enterprise’s business strategies, operating models, capabilities and processes in terms actionable for business technology; defines the applications and technical infrastructure required to meet enterprise goals and objectives; establishes a set of standard business-technology applications, tools and vendors; and identifies, organizes and manages existing business applications, technology assets and projects.

Higher-Level Capabilities are those that are often developed later in the maturation process, which may carry differing levels of importance from enterprise to enterprise, and which may be more specific to a smaller number of solutions.
