For several years I have been intrigued by the possibility of runtime functional architectures that manifest continuous firm-aware, business objectives driven, context-adaptable, enterprise-wide integrated processes. In essence, a directed network of cooperating, and potentially best solution competing,  business-intelligent patterns that, in aggregate, form a real-time goal-seeking, current state of the organization as directly related to its competitive environment. Clearly, this presupposes a multi-tiered foundation built upon modern business and organizational principles: a deployed working knowledge of that which firms do in order to achieve intended goals.

A formalized business model, driven and informed by a structured non-trivial business vision, provides the requisite business-tier operational framework. This article focuses on business vision with objective to  offer a high-level context to operationalize same: transform business vision from intangible to tangible, from a set of operationally detached statements to actionable and directly referable business guiding knowledge.
