EDGY 23 Concept Scheme

• ▼Base Elements
  Four generic elements to describe what is happening in an enterprise and its ecosystem: People, Outcome, Activity, and Object.

  Scope Note: Base elements are the most fundamental building blocks of the EDGY language. All facet and intersection elements are specializations of one of these four base elements.

  • Outcome ↗
  • Activity ↗
  • Object ↗
• ▼Facet Elements
  Nine elements that describe an enterprise using a specific enterprise design facet, subdivided into three facet categories: Identity, Architecture, and Experience.

  Scope Note: Each facet element specializes one of the four base elements and adds facet-specific semantics. Identity: Purpose (outcome), Story (activity), Content (object). Architecture: Capability (outcome), Process (activity), Asset (object). Experience: Task (outcome), Journey (activity), Channel (object).

  • ▼Identity Elements
    Elements belonging to the Identity facet — answering why the enterprise exists, who it is, and what matters to it: Purpose, Story, and Content.

  • ▼Architecture Elements
    Elements belonging to the Architecture facet — answering how the enterprise runs, what it is capable of, and what makes everything work together: Capability, Process, and Asset.

    • Capability ↗
    • Process ↗
    • Asset ↗
  • ▼Experience Elements
    Elements belonging to the Experience facet — answering what role the enterprise plays in people's lives: Task, Journey, and Channel.

    • Task ↗
    • Journey ↗
    • Channel ↗
• ▼Intersection Elements
  Three elements that sit at the intersection of two facets: Organisation (Identity ∩ Architecture), Product (Architecture ∩ Experience), Brand (Identity ∩ Experience).

  Scope Note: Intersection elements bridge two facets and enable cross-facet design conversations. All three are specializations of the Object base element.
