Sorry, but live event needed to be canceled. Watch the recording of a previous EDGY webinar instead.
Designers, architects and analysts habitually produce maps and visualizations. EDGY is designed to be a visual language to create mappings and visualisations as perspectives on an enterprise model. Instead of just producing more and more isolated artefacts, we create individual mappings as representations of an integrated semantic model.
Here are a few questions you should ask when designing better enterprises:
In the past, these questions have been treated separately by specialist functions and disciplines, leading to incoherent, siloed, underperforming enterprises. Elements like a sound strategy, a well performing operating model, or a winning product design are simply impossible to get right if there is no coherence in the way people working to create the enterprise (its cocreators) answer these questions.
These universal facets of identity, experience and architecture apply to all enterprises: large companies, start-ups, public institutions, ... . They provide useful lenses to understand why an enterprise exists, what it is supposed to deliver to whom, and how all of this is supposed to work.
EDGY, a graphical language for collaborative enterprise design, is complementary to more specific visual languages such as ArchiMate or UML but covers a broader range of view angles needed to create better enterprises.
