What is Business Architecture?

ENKI's Definition:

Business Architecture is about learning how a business needs to change, designing the change, communicating it to others in their own language, getting everyone on board, and leading the transition. According to Lawrence Dillon, ENKI’s CEO and the person that created Business Architecture, there are 10 segments to Business Architecture. Most people who claim to know Business Architecture can guess at only a handful of these segments. They refer to them as People, Process, and Technology. At a macro uninformed level, that is correct but not helpful.

As part of ENKI’s Business Architecture offering, we create and influence various business designs that tie to the business strategy and inform executives.  We design business systems that identify, link, and consider the higher-level strategy's benefits, implications, challenges, and realities. We engage employees and work through the organization's change journey proactively to drive the sustainability of the change desired. Our ten segments to business architecture supported by our 7+1 architecture model is unique to ENKI because we created the majority of what most people only guess at and claim to be experts in, and we created it based on our combined experience.

 

ENKI's Approach:

ENKI delivers the smartly managed vision of the connection and integration of business components (processes, systems, people) into the realization of the business strategy.

This is a core foundation of what we do and supports everything we work on and deliver.  As you can imagine, there is not a single deliverable that should be able to accomplish this vision.  ENKI provides a varying degree of deliverables based on client needs.  Although this is the foundation for what we do, our approach is based on decades of experience in improving the execution of business strategy and transformational initiatives.  

ENKI believes in focused execution and deliverables that fill in the details with your teams to help clarify the path to the smartly managed vision.  In the end, your teams have the material created along the way and the experience set to know what to do with it to enable your business and achieve your goals.  This is what no one else delivers.
