The Orthogramic approach

How to explain Orthogramic in 30 seconds

Orthogramic takes an innovative approach because we recognize that traditional business architecture practices often struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of business change when relying on manual methods. This has led to several challenges:

Limited scope

Many organizations only focus on a small number of business architecture domains, primarily capabilities and value streams, rather than utilizing a more comprehensive approach. This narrow focus can limit the effectiveness of business architecture in driving broader strategic alignment.

Project-centric approach

Business architecture practices often get drawn down into a project focus, where architects spend more time on specific projects rather than maintaining a holistic view of the organization. This can dilute the impact of business architecture on long-term strategic goals.

Lack of stakeholder influence

Traditional methods often fail to effectively engage and influence key stakeholders, making it difficult to drive meaningful change across the organization. Without strong stakeholder buy-in, business architecture initiatives can struggle to gain traction.

Inefficient data extraction and synthesis

Manually extracting and synthesizing business architecture domain data from stakeholders and documents can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. As a result, organizations often fail to produce broadly focused and authoritative documentation that truly reflects their strategic and operational needs.

Orthogramic addresses these challenges by automating key processes, expanding the scope of business architecture beyond capabilities and value streams, and providing tools that ensure broader, more effective engagement with stakeholders. This approach enables organizations to keep pace with business changes while producing comprehensive, authoritative documentation that drives strategic alignment.
