From Capabilities to Services
Modelling for Business-IT Alignment
“Thus God knows the
world, because He
conceived it in His mind, as
if from the outside, before
it was created, and we do
not know its rule, because
we live inside it, having
found it already made.”
-William of Baskerville
“The Name of the Rose” miniseries 2019

systems ... are constrained to
produce designs which are
copies of the communication

organizations.”

“A complex system that works is
invariably found to have evolved
from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from
scratch never works and cannot
be patched up to make it work.
You have to start over with a
working simple system.”
