Find

Map the Landscape

Identify the Components

The Find stage is about discovery. Before any transformation can begin, you must have a clear understanding of the current state. This isn't just about official inventory; it's about uncovering the hidden reality of how the enterprise operates.

Mapping O-DXA Domains

Look across the Strategic, Organizational, Process, Digital, and Physical domains. Identify the key assets, actors, and constraints in each.

Surface Shadow IT

Identify the "informal" systems and processes that teams have built to work around official limitations. These often represent unmet needs.

Stakeholder Identification

Determine who owns, operates, and relies on each component. Map the lines of accountability and influence.
