The Enterprise Competency Model

Developed an integrated enterprise competency model• Started with over 400 individual agency components and activities• Established 23 IC competencies• Identified 185 IC enterprise components• Defined each of the competencies and components



Exercising the Model with Mission Scenarios

• Over a dozen Mission Scenarios identified

• Develop process flows

• Identify Enduring Functional Exchanges (EFEs)

• Identify Barriers (Policy/Practice/Technical)

• Develop Recommendations

Making Architecture Relevant to Mission !
