TOGAF® is an IT-centric enterprise architecture framework designed for managing technology systems and infrastructure. While useful for systems architecture, it often falls short in delivering full business transformation because it excludes key business elements like people, change, and value realisation.

HOBA® (House of Business Architecture®) is business-led and outcome-focused. It’s built specifically for transformation—not just architecture—addressing strategy, process, people, data, and technology in one integrated method.

FAQs:

Can I use HOBA® and TOGAF® together?

Yes. HOBA® covers strategy and TOM design while TOGAF® can be used for detailed technical architecture if needed.

Why do most TOGAF® transformations fail to deliver value?

They often focus too heavily on IT without engaging stakeholders or aligning with measurable business outcomes.
