Subject: What's new at Intersection Group: New partner, new course, and countdown to Montréal

Dear Friend,


It's been a busy few weeks at Intersection Group. We want to use this newsletter to give you a quick overview of what's coming up: a new partner joining the EDGY ecosystem, our next steps toward Intersection 26, and a new EDGY course cohort starting in October.


A new partner: Lyster - The Multiplayer Knowledge Graph

We're proud to welcome Lyster, a new enterprise modelling tool built for real-time, multiplayer collaboration, as our newest partner! Find more details below.


Intersection 26: Only 6 weeks to go

This October, we're bringing the Intersection conference to North America for the first time. And with the program filling up, this is your last chance to grab an Early Bird ticket.


Before we get there, join our free virtual session with Daniel Simon on September 16.


Learn from the authors of EDGY

Our next EDGY Language Foundations course starts October 21. Over six weeks, you'll learn how to use EDGY's Enterprise Design Facets and Elements to bring more clarity and impact to the organisations you work with.


That's the overview, scroll down for all the details. We hope to see you in Montréal, online, or in the next course cohort. Thanks for being part of this journey with us!


Warm regards,

The Intersection Group Team

Partner Spotlight:

Lyster is a new enterprise modeling tool with support for EDGY, BPMN, ArchiMate® and more. Our goal is to make real-time collaboration fun, colorful and engaging for everyone in the organization, regardless of expertise. We’ve met many fantastic and likeminded people in the EDGY community, and we are proud to sponsor their mission. We look forward to working with you all to shape Lyster to your needs and to implement future iterations of EDGY. Feature requests welcome!


As a software vendor, we strive to provide a best-in-class multiplayer experience and maximum portability for your data. Whether you’re hosting workshops for a team of 10 or collaborating on interlinked diagrams in an organization of 10,000, Lyster’s got you covered. Build your own dashboards with our REST API, or connect the agent of your choice to our MCP interface.


Lyster AB is a Stockholm-based startup founded in 2025. Free trials are available on request at https://lyster.io.


Innovation begins with a spark: a flash of insight, a lingering annoyance, a new technology, a bold question. But a spark alone cannot sustain a fire. The true challenge of innovation and change today isn’t just generating ideas. It is designing and architecting the systems that allow those ideas to survive, scale, and deliver real-world impact.


Welcome to the 12th edition of the Intersection conference in Montréal, our first edition happening in North America. This year, we are moving past the “innovation theatre” to explore the mechanics of impact.


Take a look at a selection of sessions from the Intersection 26 program:

PS: Before we gather in Canada, we’re kicking things off with a free virtual Intersection session with Daniel Simon. Learn more. Join for free.


Taken by over 180 students, this is a popular 6-week-long hands-on interactive course that will equip you with the EDGY skills needed to achieve more impact on the organisations you work with. And no, this is not about running another Design Thinking workshop or learning a huge Enterprise Architecture framework by heart. Instead, this intensive and immersive format will teach you how to use a combined design and architecture approach to give shape to enterprises. Upon completion, you'll obtain a certificate as an EDGY practitioner from Intersection Group.


Learning objectives of this course: work with Enterprise Design Facets, Enterprise Elements and Relationships to:

(1) Frame challenges and scope meaningful change.

(2) Co-design with a simple visual language for everyone.

(3) Inform strategy with identity, intent and agency.

(4) Use human insights to spot opportunities to make a difference.

(5) Implement capabilities needed to deliver at scale.
