We’re inviting employees at all levels to share their experiences and perspectives on their workplace’s design. Your voice can help us uncover where Enterprises are falling short and how we can make them better. | | Why Participate? You're part of the picture: Your insights will help paint a clearer picture of what makes workplaces thrive (or struggle). Early Insights: Be among the first to access the results. It’s Quick: The survey takes only 5-8 minutes to complete.
Thank you for participanting in the survey, and we hope to see you at one of our webinars!
Best regards, Milan and Wolfgang | | | UX for Enterprise Impact: Using EDGY as a Catalyst for Cross-Functional Co-Design with Eric Letarte & Milan Guenther
March 12th, 4pm CET
UX in the enterprise is about much more than designing internal apps. But how to build up impact on the enterprise itself, and address change as part of your design approach?
This talk will delve into real-world applications of EDGY, an open-source tool designed to enable collaboration and build bridges in collaborative enterprise design. Through a set of case studies and firsthand experiences from Canada and Europe, we will explore how EDGY has been used to address UX challenges. We’ll touch upon... ...overcoming siloed design teams ...addressing complex user needs ...streamlining processes ...measuring success
By sharing practical insights and lessons learned, this talk aims to inspire attendees to try out EDGY for their own Enterprise UX challenges. | | | Killing the blank page with EDGY and AI with Milan Guenther & Russel Blair
March 26th, 4pm CET
How to design with EDGY and AI? In this webinar, we’ll show you how to combine generative AI with the power of EDGY to come up rapidly with complex enterprise designs. We are using a repository based enterprise architecture tool and EDGY, an open source visual language, to feed AI models with context-rich queries. The resulting maps and models are… wrong.
But they have proven to be inspiring or even triggering for conversations across a diverse stakeholder community, and shortcut our way to a set of correct and useful models that inform design decisions. Moreover they can highlight blind spots and interrelationships previously unknown and thereby enrich the design process with minimal effort.
Takeaways: Recognising blank page moments in complex challenges How to embed context and an ad hoc Training in an LLM prompt How to make generate a web of coherent maps such as Journey, Capability, Organisation or Process Maps that cover a complete design related to a given challenge How to use these maps and how not to use them when co-creating with others When to keep tackling the blank page yourself instead
| | | Why we fail at change, and how EDGY can help us succeed more often with Helgi Björgvinsson
April 9th, 4pm CEST
In 500 B.C., Heraclitus famously said, “Change is the only constant.” Yet, 2,500 years later, we’re still terrible at it, which makes me wonder if even that is a constant. Curious about why we struggle so much with change, I asked ChatGPT how many unique reasons it could provide. Its response: “Hold my beer!”
In this talk, you will learn what ChatGPT revealed after I handed its beer back. We’ll then explore some fundamental reasons for why change and transformation initiatives fail so often and introduce a simple, practical approach to overcome these challenges, helping you accomplish more meaningful and lasting change, more consistently.
We’ll touch upon… …key obstacles that hinder successful change ...practical tools and methods to navigate these challenges ...how to integrate these tools and methods into your own work ...the importance of structure and consistency for succeeding with change
By sharing practical insights and methods, this talk will equipe you to tools to better deal with change, and succeed at it more often. | | | 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
