"My 1 on 1 coaching sessions with Navid have been invaluable in helping shape and formulate the best approach. I really value his feedback and guidance which is always given with such great consideration and care. His years of experience in applying the trade has helped me navigate many difficult scenarios and I always come away with clear next steps for me to apply."
Susie Moore, Founder & Manager Director, M2it (www.moore2it.com.au)
“Our organization has benefitted from Navid’s mentoring sessions by supporting our BizArch practice; capability and value stream mapping and continued guidance on next steps. He has provided simple and effective high-level model examples applicable for a new practice that is striving for acceptance. These template blueprints were effective in demonstrating the potential of the discipline and value delivery for executives. Navid brings a practical approach in applying the business architecture theory to our organization. He finds a way to ensure complexities are simplified and representations are about the business. Each session brings insight in applying the theory to our business in this early stage of maturity. I look forward to each session where one outcome is always a growth in confidence in building the practice within our organization.”

"I had the chance to have behind the scenes support with the mentoring sessions. The hours spent to discuss the implementation of business architecture [BA] practice in my organization with my mentor was really helpful. My mentor helped me to define a gradual strategy in order to integrate the practice in the organization. My objective was to show quickly the value of the practice by showing how BA can help to follow and monitor a big digital transformation project like the one my organization is actually running. My mentor suggests some blueprints that can help me demonstrating BA’s value quickly in order to get stakeholders’ buy-in more easily. Thank you very much Navid for your very good support!"
