主播大秀

Back in July 2018 Andy Leigh and I published a blogpost on the 主播大秀 Capability Framework we developed following a strategic analysis conducted by the Technology Strategy and Architecture team.

The article concluded with a call to open up the debate and get people talking about what are the significant capabilities that a modern media organisation needs to be successful. By sharing this capability model more widely, we hoped to prompt feedback and suggestions for improvements.

During our Enterprise Architecture discussions with other EBU members (IRT, SRG, WDR, BR and SWR) a desire was expressed for integrated enterprise architecture products that are media industry specific and these EBU members requested that we share the 主播大秀 capability framework to support the creation of an EBU owned model which could be adopted by its members.

In July of this year the EBU technical committee formally approved the work to create an EBU media industry capability model. I now co-chair a small working project within the EBU which comes under the infrastructure and security group chaired by the 主播大秀’s Phil Tudor. We have been working on developing the EBU’s business capability map since May of this year.

An EBU media industry capability framework could then be integrated into other EBU models like the business object and process model () further increasing the value that the EBU can provide to members’ architecture practitioners. We also see these benefits extending to the external market providing a mechanism that the EBU can use to articulate the needs of its members to suppliers of technology.

The discussions that we have had as a part of developing the EBU model has challenged Andy’s and my thinking on certain areas of the 主播大秀 model and the working group has had to create new more formal definitions for key concepts that have been used to describe capabilities. This knowledge will be used to improve and update our own 主播大秀 Technology Capability framework once the work is complete.
