Sheridan:  Good for modeling the current state but not so good for the future.

NYU:  Business capabilities were hard to grasp.  Had I had to adjust the mental model of liking apps to capabilities.  Having the tools

Pilots:  Ardoq, BizzDesign, Essential.  Essential has a fixed price.  Other models had to limit editors, X-Consumer, and Y-Editor.  Essential started with 10 licenses and now are at 60.  Free if you want to run your own server.  19K cost.

UI:  Navigating the political layer of applications and data.  

BizzDesign: We started with 3 licenses to endit and consume. We're up to 10 now. The annual co



st is around 20K.   Can't move from one system to another easily.

  • Phil:  Ardoq, you get what you get when the visualization invoked, an enabler of relationships.  Not taking Lucidchart away from the Solution Architects.  The layout impositions provides some reliefs.  Mindful of what layer you are showing to the audiences

  • NYU:  Pick the focus and and get the value out first before you move on to the next shiny thing.  Showing other schools what is possible.  One group wants to start at the capability level.
