What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management Demystified

Ep. 15 - Strategic Process Consulting: Zach Bennett


Listen Later

Setting up a strategic process consulting practice or firm in our industry is not easy. On the one hand side you have the large system integrators/Big 4 companies, and on the other side you have the tool vendors helping setting up internal practices and capabilities. Finding your niche in that setup and build a sustainable business is a challenge.

Showing an example of a successful enterprise, we are talking with Zach Bennett, who runs his own firm Visual Enterprise Architecture for over 25 years, in this episode of the podcast.

Zach is a senior executive leader with demonstrated success in delivering transformational solutions and working directly with senior business and IT leadership to achieve strategic goals. He also championed culture of continuous business transformation across entire organizations and established company Centers of Excellence for Business Transformation and Enterprise Architecture and execution of transformational programs and projects.

We are talking about the following topics:

  • Zach’s background
  • Where a small boutique firm in the process/EA industry can position itself (vs. the Big 4/SIs or tool vendors)
  • How external consultants bring in new ideas, but also provide the continuity in an organization when their people move around every few years
  • Zach’s perspective on where the market goes and what skills a newbie should develop
  • How to grow a consultant team and what to look for when hiring
  • Adding products to consulting offers
  • Trends and challenges in the future
