Product Description
The Business Function Model PDF Book is by far the most powerful tool for all professional business analysts and business modellers who want to play at the top of their game.
This Business Function Model (BFM) is the foundation on which all other business models are built, including Process Models, Procedure Models, Information Flow Models and Data Models.
The BFM allows the business analyst to unambiguously define WHAT it is that the enterprise OUGHT to be doing. It is the only model that enables the Future State of the business to be modelled straightaway WITHOUT having to go through the expense, pain and waste of modelling ‘As-Is’ Business Processes.
When business models are not based on the BFM then, sadly, they lack integrity.
If you want to be able to realise real business benefits from all Business Systems Development, Business Process Modeling, BPI, BPM and BPR projects, then this book is a “must have”.
