Subject: Enterprise Design in Action: Two New Webinars + Survey Results

Dear Friend,


We want to use this newsletter to highlight two important updates. First, we're adding two new sessions to our 2025 webinar series. Second, we're sharing the results from the State of Enterprise Design Survey we conducted earlier this year.


Two Brand-New Webinars!

A few weeks ago, we announced the first four webinars of the year, and so far, they've been a huge success! Today, we're excited to introduce two more webinars we have lined up for you.


Join us to explore 7 Core Maps That Facilitate Enterprise Design, where you'll learn how to structure your enterprise design work using seven powerful maps connected to EDGY.

Or sign up for "Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups" to discover how EDGY and the Enterprise Scan can help your team test assumptions and align more effectively.


Best of all, registration is completely free! Just head over to our event page to sign up. You can find more details about the upcoming webinars below.


Enterprise Design Survey - Results are in!

Earlier this year, we invited employees at all levels to share their experiences with workplace design—what works, what doesn’t, and where enterprises fall short.

Now, we’re excited to share the results!


Here are some important findings:

  • 32% of respondents are unsure of who makes decisions about their team's activities

  • 25% of respondents have a hard time communicating their team's Purpose and story to others

  • 20% of respondents are unsure of how their team affects the corporate brand

  • Only 50% claim they will still be working at their current company a year from now

Want to explore the data yourself? Check out the survey results below!

Thanks for being part of our community—we’re looking forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming webinars!


Best regards,

Milan and Wolfgang

Capability Maps that talk business:

5 heatmapping techniques that turn your map into an executive dashboard

with Jim Dowling, Rich Lynch & Wolfgang Goebl


April 23rd, 4pm CEST


Capability maps have a long history. They came out of business schools in the 50ies. In recent years the enterprise and business architecture communities seem to have taken over, making capabilities more of an IT rather than a business modeling concept. Most capability maps we've seen fail to achieve their original purpose: to enable business people to design better enterprises - ones that are fit for purpose, efficient, adaptable to change, and satisfying to customers.


In this newest update of our well-received Capability webinar, Jim Dowling, Rich Lynch and Wolfgang Goebl will discuss how to bring the concept to where it belongs - as a tool for strategic management.


You will learn:

  • how to design your Capabilities to optimise flow and adaptability

  • how to assess Capability performance using the attributes effectiveness, efficiency and adaptability

  • how to iterate and socialize to build a coalition for gap closure

  • how to establish Capabilities as the cornerstone of strategic management

7 Core Maps That Facilitate Enterprise Design

And How to EDGY-fy Yours

with Jean-Sébastien Daigle


May 7th, 4pm CEST


EDGY is a powerful mental model, but how does it work in the real world and over time? Can you really design an enterprise with it? How do you develop an enterprise strategy using it? And what happens if you integrate different models and methodologies?


Since the beta version of EDGY, I’ve tested it in every project I’ve worked on—and it works wonderfully. However, the language and Facet Model alone are not enough. That’s why I developed seven core maps to guide your enterprise design initiatives. These maps are at the heart of my practice and are connected to custom EDGY maps designed to empower experts across disciplines.


Interested? Here’s what you’ll learn in this session:

  • What are the seven core maps

  • How they are connected

  • How to use them for co-creation

  • How to apply them as a subject matter expert

"Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups"

Test your assumptions and align your team with EDGY and the Enterprise Scan

with Helgi Björgvinsson


May 21st, 4pm CEST


Assumptions are inevitable in any change or transformation initiative, they help drive progress. However, when they become too numerous or too significant, they can derail our efforts rather than lead to success.


In this talk, we’ll explore some reasons behind why we make assumptions and how we can address them within our teams. We’ll dive into how EDGY and the Enterprise Scan can help us test our assumptions, improve alignment, and ensure that everyone is moving in the same direction, at the same pace, toward the same goal.


Takeaways:

  • How to apply EDGY and the Enterprise Scan to test assumptions

  • How assumption testing enhances team alignment and collaboration

  • The process of performing an Enterprise Scan

  • Practical tips for succeeding with an Enterprise Scan
