How the Enterprise Works as a Connected System
The Operating Model explains how BC Group Africa is structured, while the Digital Twin illustrates how the different parts of the enterprise interact. It shows conceptually how changes in one area can influence others, how the enterprise evolves over time, and how performance and value can inform future strategy and decisions. The Digital Twin is an educational model designed to explain these relationships; it is not a live simulation of the Group’s operations or data.
How influence travels
Showing how strategic intent moves through the enterprise from planning and decision-making to delivery, operation and, ultimately, the creation of long-term value.
How Changes Connect Across the Enterprise
Select a conceptual change to explore how it may influence other connected areas of the enterprise. This illustrates relationships and dependencies within the enterprise architecture and is intended for educational purposes only; it does not forecast business performance or predict outcomes.
Starting at Capabilities: A new capability conceptually changes how delivery is coordinated, and ripples onward.
