Joint Venture: Dr Salim Sheikh & Rob Cheeseman

"Architecture that used to take months can now be explored in minutes — without losing the human judgement that matters."

What the Platform Delivers

  • AS-IS Architecture Snapshot
    Clear view of business capabilities, systems, data, pain points, and risks.
  • TO-BE Target Architecture Options
    Multiple future-state designs, each with pros, cons, trade-offs, and risk profiles.
  • Transformation Roadmap
    Phased approach with quick wins, dependencies, and people-change implications.
  • Executive-Ready Summary
    Decision-focused narrative for boards, executives, and elected members.

Use this alongside the EA Agent MVP to move from narrative → options → roadmap in a single conversation.

How It Works

2. AI-Driven Analysis

The EA Agent synthesises your situation and generates AS-IS views, TO-BE options, and roadmaps.

3. Expert Review & Judgement

Salim and Rob review, refine, and guide decisions — ensuring outputs are realistic and human-centred.

4. Ready to Act

Use the outputs for options appraisal, business cases, roadmapping, and leadership briefings.
