Modelling Value with ArchiMate

This paper investigates the suitability of the ArchiMate modelling language for the purposes of modelling value and related concepts and approaches. Based on this we propose several improvement which can help enterprise architects come one step closer to being able to model all aspects of an organisation, from its strategy, to the value it should create and deliver, to the abilities which are needed to realise this value, and to the architecture which supports this value creation and delivery. This can aid with motivating the value of a project, making changes directly aimed at improving customer value, and visualising the value exchanges within the value network of the organisation
