Enterprise Design Facets

The Enterprise Design Facets provide three fundamental perspectives that relate to any enterprise. They feature a set of questions that an enterprise needs to answer in order to achieve a coherent enterprise design. These questions can be applied at any level of the enterprise: from within the boundaries of a single unit of organisation all the way out to the surrounding ecosystem the enterprise is embedded in.

Each facet references a set of five enterprise elements: three facet elements, and two intersection elements, one at each overlap with a neighbouring facet. These five elements and their relationships are designed to answer the questions of that particular facet, and to allow exploring the interplay between them.
