Solutions Architect – Do the Right Thing
Are these challenges you face?
- making sure you are solving the real problem – that you’ve understood its true nature
- developing a holistic and comprehensive solution to address multiple challenges
- avoiding, minimizing, or even taking advantage of the disruptions that challenge many business segments and organizations
- identifying viable alternative solutions so you can make an informed choice
- choosing an approach that gives early results so you can validate your design
- identifying and managing the changes required for a successful outcome
Steps you can take:
- Take a “design oriented” approach to deliver a viable solution.
- Challenge assumptions, explicit and hidden – and get to the roots and true nature of your opportunities or challenges.
- Get input, participation and buy-in from all significant stakeholders.
- Develop alternative solutions – evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
- Build and test prototypes to validate your approach.
- Anticipate the impact your project is going to have on the people and culture of your organization.
