Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 999 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Network Architecture improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:

  1. What is in the scope and what is not in scope?

  2. Do you have/need 24-hour access to key personnel?

  3. Implementation planning: is a pilot needed to test the changes before a full roll out occurs?

  4. How do you gather the stories?

  5. Who pays the cost?

  6. What have you done to protect your business from competitive encroachment?

  7. Was a Network Architecture charter developed?

  8. Is there any way to speed up the process?

  9. What is the craziest thing you can do?

  10. Do several people in different organizational units assist with the Network Architecture process?


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

  • The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Network Architecture book in PDF containing 994 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...

Your Network Architecture self-assessment dashboard which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next:

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Network Architecture projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based Best Practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in Network Architecture and put Process Design strategies into practice according to Best Practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Network Architecture investments work better.

This Network Architecture All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
