Wondering how to start or mature your business architecture practice,
how to provide insights into your business transformations,
how to support the execution of your business strategies, or
simply have a sounding board for your business architecture engagements?
Our mentoring and coaching sessions are designed to support you with these and other business scenarios and challenges, no matter where you are in your business architecture journey.
Mentoring provides a sustainable partnership in which the knowledge and know-how is retained within your organization. Emphasizing the pragmatism principle and the fact that business architecture is not a one size fits all, we leverage our years of experience and expertise to guide you through your endeavours and provide you advice on how to apply business architecture tools and techniques in your specific business scenarios.
Archist provides virtual mentoring in the form of coaching hours to individuals and teams.
"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!"
