...

Consider the following model

 


The model is more than just a taxonomy.  If we explode it and present three example what-if scenarios, we can see what these correlations are

 


In this model, when a particular what-if scenario is run, the arrows indicate the direction of impact analysis e.g. "an operating system becoming obsolete" has a direct impact into the Technology Domain, which directly affects the Information Architecture (Data and Application domains) which may impact on the running of the business - so you might perform an OS upgrade that stops an application from running which means the data made available through that application is no longer available which directly affects the running of the business.

Example of building the correlations

Consider the the following example where your organisation has a timesheet process

...

Now you start to think to yourself "what What type of applications do I need to the support the activities and the data?"

And finally, you realise that these applications need a platform to execute on
