Business Architecture Guild

International Development Organization (IDO) Team Charter Purpose The purpose of the International Development Organization (IDO) Reference Model Team is to develop a new industry reference model for business architecture to address the needs of organizations that are mission-based and member-funded. An IDO delivers international development services which may include funding. The IDO Reference Model will provide an international development organization or International Development Organization with a cohesive starting point for understanding the information and actions needed to aid International Development Organizational collaboration. Scope 1. Scope is initially focused on developing business architecture knowledge base content for international development services using content from the Guild’s existing Government Reference Model, and a pre-publication draft of the Guild’s Member-Based Organization Reference Model. 2. Later iterations of development may bring in additional organizations and institutions, such as the United Nations1 system of regional or country level entities and other development institutions not covered due to lack of representation and mandate in this space, at the time of establishing this charter. 3. Create mappings of capabilities, value streams, information, and stakeholder blueprints sufficient to provide a baseline or starting point for organizational business architecture efforts. 4. Identify approaches organizations can take when adopting the model, including likely variations or customizations. 5. A definition is provided only to determine the scope of this Reference Model. International Development Organizations (IDOs) plan and implement initiatives with the principal purpose of international development across various markets, sectors towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IDOs are mission-driven and may include members, beneficiaries, partners, and other entities. Examples of IDOs in this context may include: * International Organizations such as: UNDP (United Nations Development Program), WHO (World Health Organization), WFP (World Food Program), Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), WBG (World Bank Group), IADB (Inter-American Development Bank); * NGOs such as: WaterAid * Think Tanks and Academia: Brookings Institution, Human Rights Watch * Foundations such as: Gates Foundation Goals 1. Articulate the business model of a mission-driven, member-based organization 2. Introduce new content to the Government Reference Model focusing on international developmental organizational services and member-based organizational structure. 1. Further the extension of the GRM through the IDO reference model. 2. Enhance the utility of the BIZBOK® Guide. 3. Publish readily consumable reference model content for the IDO that can be adapted and customized by Guild members. 4. Extend the core capabilities of the business architecture practice by adding the ability to consume, integrate and leverage the reference business architecture model to create organization-specific models. 5. Develop a business architecture community of experts on business architecture models for enabling and/or enhancing business architecture practices specific to the organization. 6. Engage and inform Business Architecture Guild members on the topic of business architecture for international development organizations. 1.The founding sub-group members come from the World Bank Group (WBG) and its encompassing institutions (IFC, IDA, IBRD, MIGA, ICSID) and WaterAid.

This means that the team member brings industry-specific expertise and/or a vested interest in establishing a reference model for in-house use for a respective organization. * The second category of experience is in business architecture. A team member will have experience in formal value stream, capability, and other business architecture domain mapping categories, or, the team member has minimally read BIZBOK® Guide sections 1, 2.2, 2.4, and other sections as may apply to the work underway, and has viewed the latest value stream mapping and capability mapping webinars on the Guild site. In summary, a team member will have experience or be working in the vertical industry and have experience in or has familiarized themselves with basic mapping principles, guidelines, and best practices as defined by the Guild. Expectations The expectation for a team member is as follows: * Team member will participate in virtual team meetings as appropriate to team needs and scheduling commitments where missing meetings on a continuing, extended basis will result in being removed from the team * Team member will contribute content to various deliverables as determined by the team and the team leadership * As appropriate to the prior expectations, team members will be able to dedicate a minimum of 2 hours per week (or more as need and timing determines)
