BUILDING BLOCK - Enterprise Initiative

Description	Abstract Concept An Enterprise Initiative is a past, current or future state of the enterprise. Each stage represents an initiative comprising a purposeful set of activities whose primary purpose is focused on achieving a set of clearly defined objectives that may transcend organisational boundaries and consequently require integrated team working under the direction of an Architecture Governance Committee. Structural Partition of Enterprise Initiative: an Enterprise Initiative is either an Enterprise Stage or an Enterprise
Super Types	Initiative (from partition: Systemic Levels of Initiative)
Functional Domain	Enterprise Strategy & Roadmapping The Enterprise Strategy & Roadmapping domain supports the process of analysing and optimising the delivery of Enterprise Capability(ies) in line with the Enterprise market analysis and strategic intent.

Bounded Member	[*..0]	Bounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	A Bounded Member is an Entity Member that aggregates a Bounded Aggregate.Bounded Members can be related by means of Connectors which connect an Exit Border of a source Bounded Member to a corresponding Entry Border of a target Bounded Member.
Unbounded Member	[*..0]	Unbounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	An Unbounded Member is an Entity Member of an Aggregate Entity Block that aggregates an Unbounded Aggregate.Because Entity Members do not have borders, Unbounded Members cannot be related by Connection Relationships (see Bounded Aggregate).
Hierarchical Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Hierarchical Member is an Aggregate Member that is also a Block Lexical Scope for the Building Block it aggregates: it relates its aggregated block by nesting (see Nesting Relationship).Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks, in constrast to Block Members which are used to build network structures of Building Blocks.
Block Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Block Member is an Aggregate Member that aggregates its releated Building Block by reference (see Referencing Relationship).Block Members are used to build network structures of Building Blocks while Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks.
