The Reconcile stage is the consensus and gap-resolution engine of the FORGE methodology within the GEAR framework. It compares empirical observations from the Find and Observe stages against strategic mission objectives to expose misalignments, resolve stakeholder conflicts, and negotiate architectural tradeoffs. By aligning executive intent with operational realities across the transformation dimensions, Reconcile establishes an agreed-upon, prioritized target architecture roadmap before significant capital is committed.
Bridge the gaps between silos. Ensure that business leaders, architects, and operators are working toward the same mission-driven outcomes.
Reconcile high-level executive strategy with the operational reality discovered in the previous stages. Adjust plans to account for real-world constraints.
