NaturFlourish BCM as specified by Bruno and generated by AI in Adapt, Survive and Flourish.

Backstory:

Bruno was an EA consultant attached to the Tuesday Night Suvvoes Club and became involved in their efforts to help Sam Pinoak, the new CEO of NaturFlourish, transform his business. Bruno had only recently started using AI to generate a Business Capability Model strawman of the nutraceutical business. He had no work experience in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing. Normally, in the consulting team, this type of work would have taken two or three consultants at least a couple of days to produce the level of detail AI produced in minutes. He was comfortable enough with the quality to present it to Sam at their first meeting.

Bruno’s AI Query:

“I am an Enterprise Architect, and my client is a privately owned nutraceutical company. Please generate a Business Capability Model to Level 2, based on Australian companies such as Blackmores, Swisse, and similar organisations.”
