BASIC THINKING TOOL E-Services Strategic Planning with Enterprise Architecture
Reason for the Thinking Tool
The tool is meant to bring structured and logical discussion and documentation of the context and challenges of managing the realistic alignment of the needs and strategies of the "mandate stakeholders and business units" to the "intention, methodologies and technologies" of the gCIO organization providing and supporting e-services.
The key to meaningful interaction and positive behavior between the "mandate stakeholders" organization and the gCIO organization is to have the shared responsible group and common capability to elicit, elaborate, analyze and agree the composition of the agency enterprise architecture that depict their shared view of intention, RISKS, metrics, options, process, information, data, infrastructure and security model of business and ICT performance and behavior. Able to maintain the living document of shared framework, principles, methodology and tools to speak and implement the metrics of effectiveness, efficiency and accountability in the process alignment, data management, infrastructure investment and information security.
Strategic changes and investment in the ability of the agency to perform their mandate through information and communications technology is better transitioned with available, clear and evolving blueprint of the mandate, vision, goals and objectives in the models of performance, business, information and technology that are fitted, aligned and agreed to the living conditions and metrics expectation of enabling "e-services of the agency.
Here is the proposed E-Services component view of the enterprise architecture in doing the
assessment and strategic planning of enablers and resources to bring about effectiveness, efficiency and
accountability in service delivery and support.

Part 1: Introduction
1.1 Executive Summary
1.2 Background
The background describes the business context to compel the need for enterprise architecture
documentation. It provides the situation that call for an enterprise blueprint that provides the
framework for the integrative alignment of the enterprise’s model of performance, business, service,
data, information, infrastructure, security and governance in the planning, design, implementation,
evaluation and continual improvement of ICT solution and services.
1.3 Purpose
The purpose defines the end states to be achieved in the development of enterprise architecture. It
outlines the expected outcomes for the stakeholders, and contribution to the improvement of the
enterprise’s performance scorecard. It lists the essential products of enterprise architecture that are
usable to planning, design, development, evaluation and continual improvement of services that create
value through the use of information and communications technology.
1.4 Methodology
Methodology describes the approach on how to initiate, plan, implement and close the
development of the enterprise architecture. It identify the organization, processes, data gathering,
analytical tools to properly elicit, elaborate, draw, analyze and agree the components that compose the
understanding and implementation of the enterprise architecture.
1.5 Framework Reference
Framework reference is agreed guidance on how to structurally and logically establish the
requirements and components of the enterprise architecture. It provides reference of the structured
components to baseline, and the standards to benchmark the gaps and requirements. Commonly used
frameworks to understand the enterprise architecture are Zachman Enterprise Architecture, The Open
Group Architecture Framework and the Federal Enterprise Architecture. To establish gaps and
requirement the framework references come from capability maturity models, industry performance
standards and business performance metrics.
