In the realm of business architecture, aligning organisational capabilities with strategic goals is essential for driving meaningful outcomes. The PPIT model—People, Process, Information, and Technology—is a powerful tool in business capability modelling, providing a structured approach to assess and develop maturity across these four critical domains. Its streamlined structure, with four maturity levels, offers a practical and effective way to guide organisations towards achieving their objectives.

At EA Learning, our Applied Business Architecture course equips professionals with the skills to apply models like PPIT effectively, enabling them to drive business value through clear, actionable insights.

What is the PPIT Model?

The PPIT model evaluates business capabilities across four domains:

  1. People: Ensures the right skills, roles, and culture align with the organisation’s objectives.
  2. Process: Measures the efficiency and effectiveness of workflows and operations.
  3. Information: Assesses the quality, availability, and governance of data.
  4. Technology: Evaluates the systems and tools supporting the business.


These domains are assessed through four maturity levels, ranging from basic capabilities to optimised performance. This simple yet comprehensive approach makes it an invaluable tool for professionals working in business architecture.

Why the PPIT Model Uses Four Maturity Levels

The PPIT model’s four maturity levels provide clarity and usability, emphasising practical distinctions without overcomplicating the evaluation process. This aligns seamlessly with the principles taught in the Applied Business Architecture course:

  1. Clarity and Usability: A simpler model is easier for stakeholders to understand and apply. Overly complex models can obscure insights, making it harder to prioritise improvements.
  2. Actionable Insights: Each level provides distinct, actionable steps to move from one maturity stage to the next. This approach is directly tied to the course’s focus on practical application and value delivery.
  3. Focus on Business Value: The four levels emphasise outcomes that add measurable value to the organisation, a core principle of Applied Business Architecture.
  4. Efficiency in Evaluation: By minimising unnecessary complexity, the model allows organisations to quickly identify gaps and opportunities for improvement without excessive resource expenditure.

Applying the PPIT Model in Business Architecture

In the Applied Business Architecture course, participants learn to use tools like the PPIT model to assess capabilities and align them with organisational strategies. This includes:
