Integrating SFIA with other frameworks

By Matthew Burrows
Accredited SFIA Partner and trainer , BSMimpact , recently ran a SFIA event in the UK . It was a full day event providing both an IT and an HR focus for attendees . The objective was to showcase the many ways SFIA can be used within organisations , from understanding the skills you have and the skills you need , to identifying training needs , developing role descriptions , and integrating with other frameworks .
Interestingly , the presentation rated highest by attendees was “ SFIA in Digital Transformation ”, which talked about integrating SFIA with other frameworks such as COBIT and SIAM , and provided examples of where this has worked well . 88 % of the attendees rated this presentation as Excellent , with the remainder rating it Satisfactory .
Some of the comments about this session included :
“ Loved the COBIT and SFIA layer idea ”
“ Integration with SIAM and CoBIT should be made available to the whole SFIA community ”

This feedback highlights that people are really interested in how they can maximise the value of SFIA , and are keen to understand how to embed SFIA into their organisations and existing frameworks .
itSMF International now have a Global SFIA Mapping licence , which allows all itSMF chapters to use SFIA for various purposes . Please contact me , as the itSMF ’ s representative on the SFIA Council , if you need any help with how SFIA can be used for itSMF member benefit .
