What is Wardley Mapping?
Wardley Maps (invented by Simon Wardley) add value over traditional strategy and EA models by providing a way of mapping trends and evolution that is backed by empirical evidence. They also support deep understanding of the different phases of innovation, productization and commoditization and the impact of these on culture, skills, tactics and plans.
Excerpt from Wardley Mapping by Simon Wardley - Illustrates evolution and relevant culture
Why Inspired?
We have a long track record of innovation in methods, techniques, frameworks, models and enterprise architecture. We have unique meta models and artefacts in the Holistic Architecture Language and have trained hundreds of architects over several decades. We are pleased to be working with Simon and incorporating his thinking into our methods, model and training. We are uniquely equipped to integrate his approach with EA and related models, methods and maps.

Platform
To support learning, we use the Ruzuku course delivery platform. This allows us to provide course overviews, online enrolment and payment, online course structure and progress tracking, forums for student collaboration, recorded session videos and support materials such as white papers, readings, example models and video clips.
We make use of Zoom for live lectures with rich student interaction via video, audio, screen sharing, break-away rooms and chat facilities. Students will need a PC / Mac / high end tablet and a reliable Internet connection to participate.
We will share examples in our enterprise level enterprise modelling and knowledge management platform: Enterprise Value Architect (EVA) to demonstrate what an integrated tooling environment can achieve. Of course, techniques can also be supported by other competent toolsets.
Pricing (Introductory Workshop only)
Being based in a developing economy region (South Africa) we are acutely aware of the difficulty of paying for world class tuition in devalued currency. Accordingly we have two tier pricing for the course:
| Location | Cost (before taxes) |
|---|---|
| Developing Economies | ZAR 1860 / USD 100 |
| Developed Economies | USD 150 |
If you are unsure of your current economy’s status, please refer to the full country lists.
