In today’s fast-moving business world, there’s a lot of talk about big changes happening in companies. You might hear terms like “business transformation” and “digital transformation” thrown around, but sometimes all this talk doesn’t seem to lead to much real progress.
It’s like when someone seems really busy but isn’t actually getting much done. That’s what we call “marketecture” – it looks interesting, but it’s not very useful in the end.
Let’s delve into how HOBA Tech’s methodology that’s trusted by the UK Government, FTSE-100, and fast growing companies worldwide, that avoids marketecture and gets onto actual transformation.
So, what does it mean when we talk about "business architecture" falling short?
So, what does it mean when we talk about “business architecture” falling short? Let’s break it down. Imagine a big building, like a skyscraper. Before you can build a skyscraper, you need a plan, right? That plan is like the architecture of the building – it lays out how everything will fit together and work.
In the business world, “business architecture” is like that plan. It’s supposed to help companies figure out how to organize themselves and make changes to improve.
People who know a lot about technology pretend to know about how businesses should change.
But sometimes, people who know a lot about technology pretend to know about how businesses should change.
They might talk about things like “business capability mapping,” which sounds impressive but might not actually help much.
Even company leaders can get caught up in this, listening to fancy presentations from big consulting firms without fully understanding what they’re getting into.
This often leads to projects that focus too much on technology and forget about the most important part – the people who work in the company.
So why does this matter?
So why does this matter? Because many of these projects end up failing. In fact, studies show that about 70% of them don’t succeed.
They fail because they don’t involve the people who actually work in the company, or because they don’t have clear goals, or because they’re missing important information. And it makes you wonder – if these consulting firms have some of the smartest people, why do they still fail?
Is it because they don’t know what they’re doing, or is there something else going on?
Think about big projects like building a new train line or improving border security.
These projects often take much longer and cost much more than planned.
And who pays for these projects? We do – with our taxes. But despite all the money spent, we often don’t see the results we were promised.
To quote Mariana Mazzucato: ‘The McKinseys and the Deloittes have no expertise in the areas that they’re advising in’. Think about that for a minute.

But theres hope!
But there’s hope. Companies like HOBA Tech are doing things differently.
