Business transformation project’s architect’s profile (BTPAP)

This article proposes a holistic mathematical model for the selection, supporting and evaluation of a transformation architect’s or manager’s profile. The model uses critical success factors, natural programming language environment and an adapted decision-making system to define the optimal BTPAP. The authors propose the use the BTPAP in various types of transformation projects, like for example, in the case of transformation of enterprise’s human resources activities, financial systems transformation, logistics transformation projects, or even in audit operations. The BTPAP is a specific profile which is mainly based on the manager’s original capabilities and affinities, which are in turn supported by the optimal educational curriculum, by worthful experiences in transformation projects and above all, such profile should be supported by a tuneable transformation framework. A transformation framework is a set of existing frameworks that are integrated to support all types of transformation activities, like the selection of the optimal BTPAP. This framework’s originality is that it can be used in any stage of the transformation project for any type of problem and to audit the BTPAP’s effectiveness. The main limitation is the enterprise’s capacity to restructure and unbundle its legacy environments.
