After reflection on this week’s module I have concluded that we have a poor business framework. As I look through our website and make connections with different business departments we have at our district I have come to the conclusion that we are a bit unorganized. The district I work for is very small compared to others in our area but I’m sure with a strong BA it would benefit us none the less. As I was trying to gain information about different departments in our district I was constantly given wrong information about who does what and how different departments work. I can see how the lack of information that each department have on each other can be a problem. I can recall a day last year where the busses where three hour late because they did not know it was a minimum day. How does that happen? How does one of the most vital parts of your business structure have no idea of what is happening on a daily. Through this research I believe that our Business Architecture is not well developed. A good BA in a school setting will result in the best educational outcomes to students. This happens because BA can help schools realign their business processes, systems and resources throughout the school. To me it seems like we need to define the vision of our school better and give stakeholders a clearer and more precise strategy to give all stakeholders the best results possible. References:
