<\/p>\nThe Methods and Tools aspect of business transformation is not shown on the business transformation roadmap because it is another example of a number of important background areas that extend across the entire roadmap as opposed to being confined to any single stage.<\/p>\n
This is where things that are used, or to be used, as standard by an organisation or its business transformation initiative are spelled out.\u00a0 These can include methods, tools, conventions, categorising & numbering systems, templates, data controls & housekeeping, approaches, techniques, etc.<\/p>\n
The work of defining and encouraging compliance with this area generally falls to subject matter specialists in business transformation, project management and\/or IT which is where this sort of knowledge is most often lodged.\u00a0 Typically any organisation-wide standards (e.g. use of a particular office productivity suite) will serve as a starting point with additional standards being defined to meet any additional needs of the business transformation initiative as required.<\/p>\n

An exemplar of a ‘typical’ set of deliverables or products from this area looks like this:<\/p>\n
Commonly there are standards setting in some of the the following areas (N.B. this list is not exhaustive, just typical, you must consider your own needs accordingly):<\/p>\n
