Case Study: Alliander drives agile digital transformation with Bizzdesign HoriZZon

Alliander Uses Capability-based Planning to Support Agile Digital Transformation

Alliander, the largest regional grid operator in the Netherlands, faced a significant challenge after adopting a Scaled Agile delivery model with over 90 autonomous teams. While individual teams were efficient, there was a lack of coordination and a shared vision, making it difficult to manage dependencies and ensure progress towards strategic goals during their large-scale digital transformation. To bring clarity, they turned to Bizzdesign and its HoriZZon platform.

Bizzdesign solved this by implementing a capability-based planning approach. Using HoriZZon, Alliander created a comprehensive business capability model that provided a common vocabulary and a digital representation of the organization. This enabled detailed analysis of dependencies, costs, and performance. The solution delivered transparency, enhanced strategic decision-making, and minimized disruption, ultimately allowing Alliander to effectively manage its transformation and align IT investments with business performance.
