Capture mission and values fast; align EA/AI decisions to them.
Pragmatic steps that connect values to measurable architectural outcomes.
Quickly confirm values, mission, and goals; convert them into architectural guardrails, decision principles, and success measures tied to tangible outcomes.
Use capabilities as a tool—not an end—to create shared understanding and alignment. Apply overlays for value, cost, KPIs, and risk; technical overlays for application portfolio, time criticality, and security. Integrate capability and architecture views with BI insights without drifting into theory.
Move from as‑is to evolving to‑be. Establish stable baselines and foundations for agile execution, capability adoption waves, and governance loops—because the world changes and so should the architecture.
