Turning a business goal into a digital system begins by defining an observable outcome, the people who influence it, and the current constraints. The outcome is decomposed into business capabilities, workflows, data, decision rules, and evidence of success. Only then should the team choose process change, configuration, integration, automation, or custom software.

Buy mature products for standard capabilities. Configure when built-in settings can support the need. Integrate when strong products and data need to work together. Build when a workflow or experience is specific, important, and valuable enough to own. A hybrid strategy preserves control over differentiating work without rebuilding commodity components.
