WELCOME TO ENTERPRISE BLUEPRINT X
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by!
Welcome to Enterprise Blueprint X, a blog about the fascinating, sometimes frustrating, but always future-shaping world of how we build, manage, and transform enterprises.
Let’s be honest: terms like PLM, Digital Twins, Digital Threads, Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, Data & AI don’t exactly scream Friday night excitement. But here’s the thing... These are the invisible backbones of the modern world. They’re why your car isn’t delivered as a box of parts, why planes fly (safely), and why companies don’t (always) collapse under the weight of their own spreadsheets.
This blog is where I take those heavy topics, dust them off, and serve them up with a bit of humor and a dash of storytelling. Expect practical insights, thought-provoking perspectives, and the occasional analogy that involves IKEA furniture, sci-fi spaceships, or coffee addiction.
Why “Blueprint X”? Because enterprises aren’t built on luck - they’re built on structure, vision, and the ability to connect dots across silos. And when you add a little imagination (that’s the “X”), you get the foundations for real transformation.
So whether you’re a fellow architect of complexity, a curious technologist, or someone who just wants to know why “digital thread” isn’t a new kind of sewing kit - you’re in the right place.
Grab a seat, pour yourself a coffee, and let’s blueprint the future together.
Who am I?
I’m Erik - a strategy & management consultant known for strong business acumen (aka: I know how companies actually work and make money, and occasionally how to improve their top and bottom lines) and over 20 years of experience driving product strategy, development, and lifecycle management across the full product value chain - from engineering and manufacturing to supply chain and service operations.
I’m passionate about advising clients on product strategy & lifecycle management and on establishing digital twins & threads to connect the enterprise.
My expertise lies in strategies that enable interoperability, reduce time-to-market, improve operational efficiency, lower costs, boost innovation, and drive revenue growth through business architecture, process optimization, data, AI, and cutting-edge digital solutions.
