What is CCPPOLDAT?

An acronym for a cross functional set of views used to represent an enterprise without functional structural bias. Customer, channel, product,process, organisation, location, data, application and technology. Can have additional letters for additional views e.g. R&C risk and compliance.

The use of these base nine dimensions are more rich and meaningful than first impressions may suggest. Can be used as a basic framework for a business/enterprise architecture.

Dominant in business dimensions with specific focus to customer centric approaches.

Used for describing operating models, gap analysis and for project or change impacts and baselines.

A valuable business front end method to couple with TOGAF 9 or other Enterprise I.T. architectural frameworks.

Was developed and enhanced in Centrica Plc. (British Gas) from the original POLDAT framework originally created by the Computer Science Corporation CSC. Widely used in UK financial services organisations.

Acknowledgements to: CSC. Farnborough Hants. and specifically Jim Murphy/Dawn McMylor  of Centrica Plc. who originally  brought this to my attention and evangelised the technique in the early 2000's.
