Assignment includes Enterprise X-Ray analysis of existing products to reveal structural gaps.
2. Strategy & Goals in Product Architecture:
Create product strategy models explicitly aligned with business objectives.
3. System Logic & Process Flow:
Develop detailed system logic maps and variable-based models for precise process-system alignment.
Outcome: A clear, structured understanding of foundational Enterprise Anatomy principles for products.
Phase 2 (Months 4-6): Creating Robust Product Architecture Models
In Phase 2, participants learn to define detailed, robust, scalable architectures that directly support enterprise goals and customer expectations.
1. Linking Strategy, Process & Systems:
Create integrated architectures bridging strategic intent, operational processes, and system logic.
2. Component Specifications & Interoperability:
Develop modular component-level mappings to ensure reusability, flexibility, and interoperability.
3. Scalability & Performance Models:
Design scalable architectural blueprints optimized for performance, growth, and enterprise demands.
Outcome: Expertise in defining scalable, modular, and strategically aligned product architectures.
Phase 3 (Months 7-9): Defining Implementation & Operational Models Using Enterprise Anatomy
Phase 3 equips participants to translate high-level architecture into actionable implementation and sustainable operational models.
1. Implementation Tasks & Activities:
Clearly specify tasks and activities required to implement components effectively.
2. Operational Model Definition:
Design operational models closely aligned with the implementation tasks, ensuring smooth transition and sustainability.
3. Aligning Implementation & Operations with Strategy:
Ensure comprehensive linkage between strategic goals, detailed implementation tasks, and robust operational management.
Outcome: Capability to structure practical, executable product implementation plans and operational frameworks.
Phase 4 (Months 10-12): Specialization & Final Enterprise X-Ray Project
In the final phase, participants specialize in one strategic path to gain deep expertise tailored to their business needs and industry contexts.
Participants choose from one of the following specialization tracks:
1. Scaling a Product as a Business Unit:
Focus Areas: Scaling strategies, go-to-market approaches, operational and organizational structuring, and funding strategies.
Final Deliverable: Comprehensive scaling blueprint supported by Enterprise X-Ray diagnostics.
2. Business Model Innovation & Monetization:
Focus Areas: Monetization strategies, revenue modeling, market differentiation, and alignment.
Final Deliverable: Business model innovation and monetization strategy blueprint with validated Enterprise X-Ray insights.
3. Industry-Specific Product Architecture:
Focus Areas: Customized architectures tailored to solving specific industry challenges such as regulatory compliance, interoperability, and operational efficiency.
Final Deliverable: Fully mapped Enterprise Anatomy Blueprint addressing industry-specific product needs.
Final Evaluation: Participants present their projects to an ICMG Expert Panel for rigorous validation.
