1. Capability applied by individuals and/or collaborations
A capability method is a combination of collaboration and
capability that specifies the application of a capability including the
activities performed by individuals or delegated to organization units that
apply other, supporting capability methods.
2.
Capability delegation network
Delegations from a capability method to other capability
methods form a delegation tree that may be modeled without the detail of
activities that engage the delegated capability methods. Value contributions of capability methods (or
other collaborations) can be manually specified without activity network details. The delegation tree is not only important for
specification of shared services, but it supports refinement of the scope of
capabilities and it provides the basis for assignment of capability resources
and responsibilities to organization units.
3.
Capability methods as building blocks
Capability Methods can represent sharable services in a
service-oriented architecture. This
supports capability methods as shared components for configuration of new
business models that leverage existing capabilities. It also achieves economies of scale in the development
of methods and personnel as well as utilization of resources and adaptation to
changing business requirements.
4.
Capability library links to capability
implementers, providers and applications
The capability library is a taxonomy of all capabilities of
the enterprise. These have links to the
organization units that have implementation and/or application responsibility
and the activities that engage capability method(s) that deliver the capability
in different value streams and lines of business. The taxonomy is a classification
hierarchy. This is not the same as a
delegation tree that depicts levels of engagement of capability methods.
5.
Selective expansion of capability delegation
Capability method delegations form a tree of capability
methods. These delegation trees with
activity networks may be selectively expanded as appropriate to the level of
delegation necessary for the accuracy required by the purpose of the model. An un-expanded capability method can provide
an estimated summary of value contributions of the un-expanded branch of the
delegation tree.
