The Business Architecture Framework primarily addresses structural friction by defining the organization and key business processes. It helps to clarify ownership and improve cross-functional alignment by establishing a structured approach to business design.

The Business Architecture Framework provides a comprehensive view of an organization's structure, processes, and business models. It is used to align strategic objectives with tactical demands, ensuring that all aspects of the business are optimized and interrelated. This framework helps in identifying opportunities for improvement, facilitating change management, and driving business outcomes effectively.
