The problem that prompted us
Enterprise software has been improving for decades. Strategy tools, portfolio tools, architecture tools, risk and compliance tools: all of them more capable, more integrated and more sophisticated than ever before. And yet the gap between what organisations decide to do and what they actually do remains stubbornly persistent. The reason, we came to understand, is not a shortage of good tools. It is a shortage of decision context. Every tool captures a domain. None of them capture the decision that connects the domains. When strategy is set in one system, investment approved in another, architecture designed in a third and risk governed in a fourth, the decisions that link them all are invisible. Context is lost. Coherence dissolves. And organisations discover the consequences long after they are fixable.
