Abstract

Enterprises are confronted with rapidly changing situations in regulations, globalization, time-to-market pressures and advances in the technology. Management and design of the capabilities is emerging into an important field to tackle these challenges. On the contrary, our findings from a systematic literature analysis reveal the lack of contributions in methodological support for developing capabilities. In this respect we introduce a business process based method for capability design, which is a part of a lately proposed capability driven development (CDD) approach. The main contributions of this paper are (i) a component wise structured capability modelling method based on business processes of an enterprise and (ii) a demonstration of the method application in a use case from the utilities industry.
