Enterprise Architecture
Objective
The key to the success of our Enterprise Architecture approach lies within two core values:
-
We base our solutions on previous successes
We rely on reusable results from both inside and outside the organization. This guarantees a maximum return of the time spent at our customers. -
Every organization is unique
An organization reveals its needs through its unique character. Therefore our approach first of all tunes in to management disciplines that are already deployed within the organization, like business planning and project portfolio management. The former discipline shows us how the organization defines its value, the latter shows us how it structures its activities.
Value proposition
-
Set up of an appropriate vision
We prescribe the effective use of Enterprise Architecture within the organization in a vision document. -
Elaboration of an effective strategy and road map
We fine tune the approach for the set up of a feasible Enterprise Architecture practice and work out a planning. -
Monitoring and supporting the effective practice
We embed the execution of the strategy into tasks like the expansion of an organizational structure and an Enterprise Architecture infrastructure, the facilitation of projects, the evaluation of consistency and conformity and the communication towards stakeholders.
Role
-
Provide advice
Advice with regards to (i) embedding EA within the organization, (ii) method, technique, tooling, (iii) analysis, diagnosis and prognosis and (iv) conceptualization and execution. -
Coaching
Since we consider Enterprise Architecture not as a project but as a permanent discipline, it is key to preserve the momentum of the EA practice. Coaching is the ideal means for it and this can be in the role of (i) adviser for the architecture sponsor, (ii) sparring partner for the Chief Architect, (ii) support for the Domain Architects and (iii) coach for the Project Managers. -
Back-up
Our Enterprise Architecture consultants can take care of the background research by which the internal architect roles can focus more on communication.
