Target Architecture as a Strategic Transition Mechanism: A Capability-Driven Framework for Enterprise Transformation, Roadmapping, and Benefits Governance

Abstract

Target architecture is widely used to describe a desired future state, yet many initiatives treat it as a static collection of diagrams. This paper develops a capability-driven Target Architecture Realization Framework connecting business outcomes, baseline evidence, capability gaps, integrated target-state design, transition architectures, investment roadmaps, and benefits governance.
