Explore the ArchiMate framework, crafted by ex-McKinsey & Big 4 consultants, for effective Enterprise Architecture modeling and stakeholder alignment. ArchiMate is a 30-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a holistic view of the enterprise strategic, operational, and technical domains. EA provides a clear and comprehensive view of the current state of the enterprise, as well as the desired future state. However, EA initiatives often stall—bogged down by unclear frameworks, steep learning curves, and models that fail to resonate with senior leadership.
This PPT highlights the ArchiMate framework, a modeling language developed by The Open Group—the same body behind TOGAF. ArchiMate addresses key adoption barriers: fragmented views, misaligned stakeholders, and dense documentation. It provides a visual, structured way to describe enterprise change, making it easier for architects and executives to align.
ArchiMate is comprised of 6 layers and 4 aspects:
LAYERS
1. Strategy Layer – Defines vision, capabilities, and drivers 2. Business Layer – Maps processes, roles, and business services 3. Application Layer – Covers software systems and their interactions 4. Technology Layer – Includes platforms, networks, and technical infrastructure 5. Physical Layer – Models tangible assets such as hardware and equipment 6. Implementation & Migration Layer – Addresses planning, transitions, and Transformation initiatives.
ASPECTS
1. Passive Structure – Represents "what is manipulated" by behavior—data, content, or artifacts 2. Behavior – Captures the "what" being performed—internal processes, functions, and services 3. Active Structure – Models the "who" responsible for a behavior or function 4. Motivation – Explains the rationale for EA decisions
This PowerPoint presentation on ArchiMate also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT slide introduces the ArchiMate framework for modeling enterprise architecture through 3 core perspectives: structural, behavioral, and informational. These aspects are organized in a 3x3 matrix, with columns representing architectural concerns—passive structure, behavior, and active structure—and rows corresponding to enterprise layers: business, application, and technology. Passive structure includes business objects, data objects, and deployment packages. Behavior encompasses internal processes and services, such as order fulfillment and user authentication. Active structure models responsible entities like business actors and application components. Together, these aspects enhance enterprise architecture modeling by integrating structure, behavior, and responsibility, offering a multi-dimensional view for strategic planning and transformation initiatives.
ArchiMate is a visual language for enterprise architecture that clarifies models and replaces fragmented documentation with a structured syntax and semantics framework. It enables architects and operational teams to align strategy with execution through a unified view of processes, systems, and resources. ArchiMate models consist of 6 primary layers: Strategy, Business, Application, Technology, Physical, and Implementation & Migration, each serving distinct purposes from defining high-level vision to mapping infrastructure and planning transitions. This layered approach highlights interconnectedness and complexity, simplifying architectural structures for decision-making, change management, and stakeholder communication. Developed by consultants from McKinsey and Big 4 firms, ArchiMate enhances clarity and alignment across organizational levels, making it a valuable tool for managing enterprise complexity.
The ArchiMate Framework has evolved from a three-layer structure to include additional layers that reflect modern enterprise complexity. Version 3.0 introduced layers such as Business, Application, Technology, Physical, and Implementation & Migration, enhancing its utility across strategic, operational, and transformation domains. This expansion provides a comprehensive view of enterprise architecture, linking strategic goals with physical assets and migration plans. The framework segments these layers into 3 core aspects: Passive Structure, Behavior, and Active Structure, illustrating a layered approach to enterprise modeling. An additional aspect, Motivation, connects enterprise vision to architecture and technology investments, clarifying the rationale behind decisions and stakeholder goals. The extended framework supports integrated understanding, decision-making, and transformation planning for complex organizations aligning strategy, operations, and technology.
This PPT slide explains enterprise architecture (EA) and its integration of 7 core domains to support organizational planning and decision-making. A mature EA practice consolidates architectural domains into a unified system, clarifying standards and aligning change initiatives with long-term goals.
The core domains include:
- Strategy: Defines vision, goals, and strategic initiatives for decision-making.
- Performance Architecture: Establishes key performance indicators for progress tracking.
- Business Transformation/EA Roadmap: Provides a structured plan for implementing changes.
- Information/Data Architecture: Manages data governance and security for accuracy and utilization.
- Service/Application Architecture: Describes interactions between software applications and business processes.
- Infrastructure/Technical Architecture: Involves scalable technology components supporting applications and data.
- Business Architecture: Illustrates functions, roles, and processes to meet organizational objectives.
Integrating these domains enforces standards and ensures alignment with strategic objectives for effective enterprise management.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
