Business Maturity Model: A Practical Roadmap for Elevating Your Enterprise Architecture Practice

Enterprise Architecture (EA) offers tremendous value, but the reality is that most organizations are somewhere on a journey – starting, getting serious, or working to achieve strategic impact. Our new eBook is the first resource built specifically around that journey. Drawing on best practices from 80 successful organizations, it delivers a practical, step-by-step, field-tested guide designed to help you raise the maturity of your EA practice. 

Master each stage of Enterprise Architecture maturity

EA maturity is a structured, gradual process. Most teams start at the novice level, with little more than foundational documentation and a need to prove Enterprise Architecture’s value. With effort and real focus, they advance to the intermediate stage, where architecture begins supporting transformation projects and becomes integral to cross-team execution. The goal for every ambitious organization is to reach maturity – where EA drives strategy, orchestrates transformation, and delivers measurable business outcomes on an ongoing basis. 

The eBook brings this journey to life by laying out the defining objectives, activities, and challenges at each stage. You’ll find practical checklists and specific actions to get unstuck, break out of silos, and continue levelling up no matter where you currently stand. 

Follow maturity model examples to grow your practice 

Here are the most important takeaways the eBook delivers: 

1. An easy-to-follow maturity roadmap, showing you exactly how organizations move from basic documentation to full strategic enablement. 
2. Stage-specific guidance, so you know how to get started, what to focus on next, and how to anticipate and overcome the typical hurdles each level presents.
3. Real examples from companies that started as novices, advanced through intermediate steps, and eventually became mature, strategically driven Enterprise Architecture teams.
4. Advice to avoid common EA traps, such as getting stuck analyzing instead of executing, or failing to secure management buy-in when you need it most. 
5. Concrete methods to scale Enterprise Architecture's impact: embedding architecture into project teams, expanding adoption, and measuring real returns for the business. 
6. Insights on using automation to keep your EA data fresh and relevant – a must for forward progress and avoiding regression to outdated, unreliable information.
