Enterprise Architecture Enabling Recipes
Our Recipes are formulated approaches to achieving certain goals within the DISCON Framework.
These Recipes are made up of individual Techniques that when performed in a specific context, contributes to the Recipe’s goal.
Included in these 31 Recipes are; the reason for existence (Recipe goal), the list of Techniques used, the dependency between these Techniques (resulting in the required deployment sequence of these Techniques) and an overview flow description guiding you through the Recipe.

Enterprise Architecture Enabling Techniques
Our Techniques play the role of a ‘toolset’ that enable us to practice Enterprise Architecture effectively.
The 23 Techniques vary from analysis tools to mathematical algorithms. These Techniques can be used in a variety of scenarios to achieve different goals. Likewise, new Recipes can be created by using different combinations of Techniques in order to achieve different goals in different scenarios. The result is a Methodology that is applicable for any industry and any scenario within that industry.
