The Architect
“I work out how the parts need to fit before people start building.”
What Architects do
Architects turn a big idea into a clear structure, plan or strategy that other people can use.
When Architects add value
- Creating a clear plan for a new product, service or business.
- Working out how people, tasks and resources need to fit together.
- Turning a broad ambition into practical decisions.
What to watch for
Architects can spend too long improving the plan before testing it with real people. A clear design still needs to be tried in the real world.
Try this in your own situation
You are planning a shared project. You work out how the tasks, time and resources fit together so everyone can see a workable approach.
A question to reflect on
When did making a plan help you or someone else get started?
Something to try
Sketch the main parts of something you are planning. Ask someone who will use it which part needs more thought.
