Peru ran workshops with a wide variety of stakeholders across architecture, IT, business operations and legal technology teams - Using our proprietary Architecture Maturity Assessment toolkit, Peru undertook an accelerated review of the architecture function, looking into how the architecture function operated and the work they delivered - Our review recommended several timebound, prioritised next steps covering communication, usable and relevant artefacts, portfolio engagement and the revision of organisational structure (roles, responsibilities and skills). ## Outcome - Improvements to the governance framework and its operational efficiency and impact - Resetting team's responsibilities, objectives and ways of working to demonstrate value of architecture. - Identification of architectural and technical debt exposure reducing risk in the environment - Move from informing to influencing business decisions and programme investment priorities. ![chris\_smith](https://139544704.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/139544704/website/graphics/global/consultant-headshots/portrait-shots/chris_smith.webp) ## Start a conversation Get in touch with our principal consultants to learn more about what we can do for your organisation.  [Get in touch](https://peruconsulting.co.uk/contact) ## Similar customer stories [View case study](https://peruconsulting.co.uk/resources/get-out-of-the-building) ![background image](https://peruconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/website/graphics/global/case-studies/card-versions/fallback_industry_cta_image.webp) Get out of the building We can get somewhat absorbed by the issues within the four walls of our own organisation.
