One of the curses (“my name is Legion, for we are many”) of being an Architect is that they often can see things, as plain as day, that others who are not Architects cannot see. This does NOT mean that Architects are in some way superior or more important. It just means they are different. It’s like everyone else can only see visible light, but Architects can see the full spectrum from infrared to ultraviolet and beyond. Architects can hear what others cannot hear, feel what others cannot feel, smell what others cannot smell and taste what others cannot taste.

Adopt this component by...

“The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.”

- Aristotle Onassis

C-Suite: Mandate that people should exploit the fact Architects should be exploited to easily see things that others find difficult or impossible to see.

Questions to ponder...

Would you like to see things others cannot?

Would you like know things others do not?

Do you think seeing into the future is valuable?

We are very happy to use animals that have super-senses like the dogs to sniff out drugs and explosives, so why do people shy away from using that strange “animal” called an Architect?

Does your Enterprise shy away from Architects?
