Enterprise Canvas and service-design
Enterprise Canvas and service-design
Modelling the enterprise as services
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog covers the Enterprise Canvas model-type and its related uses and modelling methods.
Enterprise Canvas is designed for use in service-oriented modelling for enterprise-architectures and the like. It can be used to describe any aspect of the enterprise, providing a consistent, unified view all the way from strategy to execution. it’s simple enough to be used in freeform ‘back-of-the-napkin’ sketches, yet it also supports the kind of formal rigour needed for structured diagrams, information-repositories and automatable simulations. And although it’s simpler and easier to use than most of the common enterprise-architecture notations, it’s also compatible enough with them not only to link to such models, but to use essentially the same notations within existing toolsets.
This is the first of a two-part series, showing the initial Enterprise Canvas model and usages up to 2014. The second part in the series, Updates on Enterprise Canvas: More detail on methods for service-design, describes further developments and usages from 2014 onwards.
This book includes about 35 posts and 110 images from the weblog. These posts are split into five groups:
- Enterprise Canvas: Origins - outlines the purpose, structure and content for the initial version of the Enterprise Canvas model.
- Enterprise Canvas: More Detail - summarises additional details that have been amended in or added to the Enterprise Canvas model.
- Enterprise Canvas: Context-Space - describes how to use Enterprise Canvas in context-space mapping for business-models and more.
- Enterprise Canvas: Services - considers a variety of themes about services in general.
- Enterprise Canvas: Theory and Practice - explores some of the underlying concepts, theory and practices behind the Enterprise Canvas model.
