You are searching for a template. I will write about we do for years. We use the Tom Peter´s Seven S model to evaluate the whole impact at enterprise architecture level and make an gap analysis between the actual architecture (as-is) and future architecture (to-be). Saving Changes...

My recommendation is take a closer look to the model. Each time something will be started in your organization you have to perform an activity that belongs to business analysis and is named "enterprise analysis" (now, "needs analysis" in the PMI´s PGBA). That is because to not fail the whole organization has to be "seen" from the systemic point of view. The deliverable for needs analysis is the business case document which, as you know, is the input to PMI´s PMBOK initiation process. But what is critical for me is the fact that thanks to analyze the organizational architecture (architecture = components PLUS relations) you can detect all the impact the new initiative will create at organizational level.

Th model is explained inside Tom Peter's book "in search of excellence". In my opinion this is a book each business analist must read. I know that Tom Peters has an official site too. Saving Changes...
