5 Principles for Modern Solution Architecture Work

Execution is the strategy

Architects should focus not only on analysis but on contributing to successful execution. An agile approach continuously tests, evaluates, and corrects change theses, ensuring that architecture is actively used and valuable.

Build trust

Trust is earned by creating sustainable value and making a lasting impact. Architecture involves understanding the playing field, communicating with stakeholders, and creating shared insights that contribute to both operations and change.

Team-driven effort

Architecture is a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders. It facilitates collaboration between different roles, ensuring diverse perspectives are considered in the change process.

Value-driven intervention

Creating values aligned with a concrete mission is crucial. A pragmatic architecture approach balances strategic and operational considerations without compromising on value creation.

Adequate structure

Rather than heavy investments in extensive architecture models, Forefront advocates for a structure solid enough to get the job done. Acknowledging the complexity of businesses, our approach aligns with the agile world, recognizing the need for flexibility within a solid framework.
