A strategy that doesn’t reach the front line
What you’re experiencing
The plan is clear at the top, blurry on the ground.
The answer
Connect each objective to the teams and processes that carry it.
Enterprise Design
See how everything connects, and solve complex problems at the source. For the whole organization, or one project at a time.
When Enterprise Design makes the difference
Situations leadership teams face, at the scale of a single project or the whole organization.
A merger or acquisition
What you’re experiencing
Two cultures, two ways of working, synergies to deliver.
The answer
Decide what to unite, what to preserve and what to transform.
A transformation running out of steam
What you’re experiencing
Projects pile up, the experience barely changes.
The answer
Invest where it really matters.
Costly silos
What you’re experiencing
Each team optimizes its own part; the customer lives the gaps.
The answer
Make journeys and shared responsibilities visible.
AI arriving in the organization
What you’re experiencing
Initiatives everywhere, with no big picture.
The answer
Place AI within the organization before choosing the tools.
Growth or repositioning
What you’re experiencing
The company has changed, but not its structure or its brand.
The answer
Realign identity, organization and offering.
Launching a new service
What you’re experiencing
It touches several teams and no one sees the whole picture.
The answer
Design the service and the organization that delivers it, together.
Is your situation different?
A project, a team or the whole organization: tell us about your challenge.
Everyone is right… in their own language
Finance talks costs, IT talks systems, marketing talks customers, operations talks deadlines. Everyone sees clearly, but no one sees the whole.
The solution: a shared language, simple and visual, understood from the boardroom to the front line. That’s what EDGY brings →
Three familiar symptoms
The Tower of Babel
Meetings go in circles: everyone uses their own words.
The ivory tower
Decisions are made far from the people who apply them.
The Jenga tower
Pull out one piece, and three others move without warning.
Enterprise Design in brief
Enterprise Design applies the design approach to the organization itself, whether it’s a project, a team or the whole company.
Starting or realigning a project calls for several choices:
- Who should be involved?
- What processes should we put in place?
- What experience do we want to offer customers and employees?
- What ambition are we aiming for?
- How will we talk about it with stakeholders?
Enterprise Design sheds light on these decisions and connects them into a coherent whole that can evolve over time.
The big picture
See the connections before acting.
A collaborative approach
Design with the people who will bring the change to life.
Intentional choices
Decide, rather than pile up projects.
The right scale
Start where the challenge is.
EDGY, a shared language for designing the enterprise
One of the tools of Enterprise Design: an open visual language to map an organization, a team or a project on a single canvas.
- Identity: purpose, values, culture
- Architecture: capabilities, processes, resources
- Experience: customer and employee journeys
A common vocabulary, from the boardroom to the front line.
What it changes in practice
For your leadership team, four concrete effects.
-
Better-informed decisions
See the impact of a choice before committing to it.
-
An aligned leadership team
One map, one language.
-
Less risky transformations
Blind spots surface early.
-
A strategy you can execute
Every direction is connected to the people who deliver it.
No off-the-shelf solutions
Every organization is unique. Our approach, in three steps:
Spark the right conversations
Bring the right perspectives together around the problem.
Map to clarify
Visualize the organization with EDGY to decide together.
Build on solid ground
Put in place a stable system that can evolve.
Above all: with you, not for you.
