On Developing Business Architectures: A Multi-Framework Evaluation of an Early Stage Enterprise
About the Presentation
This presentation examines the efficiency and effectiveness of using multiple frameworks to analyze an early stage enterprise within the medical technology industry, Lentesco Luminarium. The company faces a critical choice between two growth strategies: vertical penetration within existing modalities or horizontal growth into new modalities, so Montoya will explore what tools might inform and guide the executive team to make the right decision for Lentesco’s particular industry, maturity, and size. In addition to the standard Lean Advancement Initiative suite of tools, he uses Nightingale and Rhodes’ eight Enterprise Architecture views, Kaplan’s Balanced Scorecard, Piepenbrock’s Evolution of Business Ecosystems, McKinsey’s 7S framework, and Grave’s Spiral Dynamics. He concludes that Lentesco needs to improve transparency and communication, and he suggests the use of the McKinsey 7S framework to put concepts into perspective as simply as possible. For a multiple perspective evaluation, he suggests the EA 8 Views framework.
