Our workstreams are run by a group of members developing new open source Enterprise Design tools and approaches. They are led and run by our members and supported by our network of partner enterprises and vendors. We explore fundamental enterprise characteristics and design/architecture considerations using EDGY, our Open Source tool for Enterprise Design, and identify ways to describe and capture enterprises and their evolution, connect relevant disciplines and their viewpoints, and translate between various perspectives.
Based on this shared understanding, we develop a set of tools with content, tools and examples to deal with enterprise change and co-creation, uncover recurring Enterprise Design Patterns and contributing to EDGY for enterprise innovation and transformation. If you are interested in getting involved, have a look at how to join and contribute to a workstream.
