Architecture isn't about adding structure. It's about removing friction,
creating alignment, and building momentum. Every engagement focuses on
one outcome: escape velocity.
From complexity to clarity: the transformation that creates lift.
Strategic Clarity
From fragmented initiatives to unified direction.
Strategy without architecture is a wish list. Architecture without strategy is documentation. I connect the two, creating the "golden thread" from purpose to objectives to capabilities to change.
What This Looks Like
Target state architecture that executives can actually use
Strategic narratives that align leadership teams
Portfolio prioritisation based on capability impact
Roadmaps that sequence change intelligently
The Shift
Leaders stop debating what to do next. They start designing intentionally, with a shared understanding of what matters and why.
Architectural Coherence
Shared language. Connected systems. One source of truth.
Most organisations have architecture. It's just scattered across PowerPoints, spreadsheets, Confluence pages, and people's heads. I consolidate, structure, and connect it into a coherent system that everyone can use.
What This Looks Like
Enterprise capability models (L1–L4) aligned with industry standards
Value stream mapping across customer journeys
Domain-driven design for complex systems
Service blueprints connecting front-stage to back-stage
Architecture governance that enables rather than blocks
The Shift
Teams stop arguing about definitions. They start operating with shared vocabulary and connected understanding across business, technology, and data.
Execution Confidence
From uncertain delivery to purposeful momentum.
The gap between strategy and execution is where transformation goes to die. I close that gap, turning architectural clarity into actionable blueprints that delivery teams can run with.
What This Looks Like
Initiative-to-capability mapping and impact assessment
Feature decomposition and backlog structuring
Architecture integration with agile delivery
Transformation blueprints with clear dependencies
Measurable outcomes tied to capability maturity
The Shift
Delivery stops feeling like guesswork. Teams move forward with purpose, direction, and confidence that what they're building actually matters.
AI-Augmented Architecture
Architecture at the speed of thought.
I build and deploy AI-powered tools that accelerate architectural work: knowledge graphs that detect patterns, automated mapping that saves weeks, insights that surface what humans miss.
What This Looks Like
Architecture knowledge graph development
Automated capability mapping and heatmaps
AI-assisted transformation narratives
Dynamic capability modelling
Real-time inference across capabilities, objectives, and KPIs
The Shift
Architecture stops being a bottleneck. It becomes an accelerant, delivering insights in hours instead of months.
Domain Expertise
Deep knowledge where complexity compounds fastest.
Financial services is where I've spent my career, and where architectural precision matters most. Banking, insurance, credit, claims. The domains where misalignment costs millions.
Customer journey architecture (Aware → Join → Use → Service → Change)
Workshops & Masterclasses
Making architecture accessible.
Architecture shouldn't require a PhD to understand. I design and deliver workshops that make strategic design practical: for executives, architects, and delivery teams.
What This Looks Like
DDD for Executives: Domain-driven design in 60 minutes, no jargon
Business Architecture 2.0: From process maps to dynamic capability systems
Platform & Ecosystem Design: Building business models that compound
EA Workbench Onboarding: Getting teams productive on the platform
