Five Questions Every Leadership Team Should Be Able To Answer

Five questions every leadership team should be able to answer — but most can’t.

1️⃣ Can you name every system you run, and what each one costs?
2️⃣ If a critical integration failed tomorrow, do you know exactly what breaks — and in what order?
3️⃣ Can you trace how your most sensitive data moves across systems, and who can access it?
4️⃣ If you change a core process, can you see every dependency that the change will trigger?
5️⃣ Can you tell your board, with confidence, where your highest technology risk sits right now?

Most organisations can’t answer all five; Not because they lack capability, but because the view was never built, or never kept current as the landscape evolved.

In every current state assessment we run, we find:
➡️ Applications still being paid for that no one uses
➡️ Dependencies no one fully understands
➡️ Risks that were never formally assessed
➡️ Decisions being made on assumptions, not facts

EnterpriseArchitecture isn’t documentation. It’s the discipline that connects your systems, your data, and your decisions — so that when things change, you’re not flying blind.

What you map in the first 2 weeks, you’ll rely on for the next two years.
If these questions don’t have clean answers in your organisation, that’s exactly where we start.
