Architecture that connects strategy to delivery
Business, data, application and technology architecture focused on decisions that can be funded and delivered.
- Enterprise Blueprint and capability mapping
- Target and transition architectures
- Architecture governance and Design Authority
- Portfolio rationalisation and investment priorities
Independent enterprise architecture consulting
I work with organisations that need an enterprise architecture consultant to connect business strategy with technology investment. Based in Hertfordshire, I support clients across London, the UK and internationally, working with executive sponsors and delivery teams.
The starting point is the decision your business needs to make: where to invest, how to simplify an application portfolio, or how to deliver digital transformation without creating more complexity. I assess business capabilities, data, applications, integration and infrastructure together, so the roadmap reflects dependencies and commercial priorities.
Architecture governance that supports delivery
Support includes target operating models, target and transition architectures, application rationalisation and architecture reviews. A proportionate Design Authority, clear standards and reusable patterns help teams make decisions without turning governance into a bottleneck.
For related needs, explore fractional CTO and CIO services or legacy modernisation and cloud migration planning. My Toolstation and Travis Perkins case study provides an example from my career.
