Abstract

This chapter describes the power of using Enterprise Architecture (EA) taxonomies in making sense of an organisation and its components to support portfolio visibility and optimise decision-making. It describes the use of taxonomies in a manner that has been successfully applied across a range of medium to large organisations particularly at a whole-of-government level within the Queensland Government, the Gold Coast City Council, and at an agency level within the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General. These taxonomies enable increased visibility of an organisation’s investment portfolio to support more structured decision-making and provide a basis for evidence-based policy development. At the whole-of-government level, this supports optimisation of information and IT investments across the entire connected government portfolio.
