So I have showed how the Milky Way can be useful to see and understand all the perspectives in play. When we talk about the perspectives we refer to them as the three eco systems in play. The external eco system with the customer, supplier and other relevant external actors and their interaction with our…
The Milky Way was first developed and used at TUI Nordics back in 2013. Here is a short summary of what we did during the first years of usage. We had a traditional IT / Business relationship, a not so fast development of new solutions, a situation with little overview which led to sub optimizing…
Here are some examples of what a Milky Way could be and how it is used. I hope these examples will give you a better understanding of the value of a model/map like the Milky Way. A presentation from the Intersection conference in Barcelona 2017. Intersection x17 Milky Way Masterclass from Annika Klyver A presentation…
Well most of you probably think of the stars on the night sky but this is not what I meant. There is a connection but I will come to that one later. A Milky Way map is a map that describes an organization or a network of organizations using business capabilities, customer (or other relevant…
When I entered the field of business architecture in 2006/7 I came from a background as a business controller gone business developer, forced to at least understand IT and information structures. I studied psychology for a year during a maternity leave with a focus on cognition and knowledge creation among other things. I had also…
A lot has happened since the last post in 2015. This new way of thinking and working with Business Architecture is not so new anymore. We are still working with the Milky Way model, business capability map, still improving, adding layers and perspectives to it. Four years of working, teaching and thinking has moved our…
Sometimes I am refered to as the mother of the Milky Way and Daniel Lundgren at Fritidsresor (TUI Nordic) as the father. In a way it is true, we have worked with the TUI Nordic Milky Way for almost 3 years now. Taking it from the idea to where we are today. We gave a…
We felt we wanted to share the insights and the thinking to more people then our customers. We gave the first masterclass in October and November 2014. We started with a three day class and 8 participants. The focus was to make the participants work with their own Milky Ways based on their business. A year…
It has been a long time since I posted anything here. But things have been far from quiet and calm… The Milky Way, “Vintergatan” has developed further as a concept/method, in a number of customer assignments and as a masterclass given in cooperation with Dataföreningen Kompetens (The Swedish Computer Association).
Fritidsresor höll ett mycket uppskattat föredrag på EA-träffen förra veckan. De beskrev sin resa från ett läge där EA var en tung börda att släpa på, hela EA-toolen som skulle matas och alla som inte förstod eller ville använda sig av modellerna till dagens situation där vi som arkitekter beskrivs som de som vet och…
I fredags höll jag och kollegan, Peter Tallungs, ett frukostseminarium om EA och designthinking. Inspirerade av The design way skriven av Stolterman och Nelson försökte vi öppna för tanken att vi som arkitekter inte kan se vårt arbete som något objektivt, rationellt och analytiskt. Vi skapar något nytt, något som inte har funnits förut. Om…
Jag har tillsammans med kollegorna hos min kund arbetat med en modell som vi kallar Vintergatan sen i våras. Vi har inte pratat så mycket om den utan mer ställt frågor till olika verksamhetsdelar utifrån den. På arkitektspråk så är det en business capability karta där vi har lagt ut delarna i de operativa processernas…
