Business Roadmapping requires a sound base from which to develop various alternative futures as well as a systematic evaluation
process for future information and intelligence streams.

Supporting Business Roadmaps
Analyse information on the status of the existing technology base to determine how well the technologies
will support new innovation, product and service delivery.
Recognise that technology and technology
planning, not equipment, are crucial inputs into defining strategic business directions.
Goes well beyond
an equipment based spot check to address the future business opportunities that technology can influence.
Intelligence can driven by software applications that are used to analyse raw data. Amassing information is not a productive
exercise.
Strategic thinking needs to be applied so that environmental scans provide insights into a future 10 and
more years out. At a practical level, business intelligence processes are established based on the business value
criteria for each organisation.
Business Intelligence provides an interface between what the organisation does and the changing
environment in which the organisation operates. Business Intelligence enables organisations to analyse and monitor the
environment likely to impinge on business operations.
Bmaps provides a process that is not just reporting, but that enables
organisations to modify their Business Roadmaps to make strategic decisions and to identify new business opportunities.
The success of Business Roadmaps relies entirely on the quality of the information on which the roadmap is built. Two key inputs are identified - accurate analysis of the NOW (Strategic Technology Audit) and a process to enable the business to monitor and evaluate the potential impact of enveloping trends (Business Intelligence).
