AstraZeneca - Simplifying Complexity

When driving a business transformation programme the key to success can often be to find a common language to use when working across diverse business and IT teams. A relationship based around partnership I've found to be the most productive. By adopting and embracing tooling like LeanIX you can establish a framework and approach to capturing strategy, business outcomes and link these to the underpinning elements such as capabilities, applications, processes, data and integrations. With the predefined meta model you are able to accelerate your journey to release benefit and value early. This can help demystify how the various IT elements enable and support the business needs and outcomes.

  • Learn how using a shared language and building strong partnerships between business and IT teams is crucial for successful transformation programs.
  • Understand how SAP LeanIX can help establish a clear framework linking strategy and business outcomes to IT capabilities, applications, and processes.
  • Discover how a predefined meta model can speed up the process of realising benefits and help clarify the alignment between IT elements and business needs
