Suzanne Maxted – Business & Information Architect, Methods

Suzanne is a highly experienced business and information architect. She translates strategic direction, untangles complex situations and conflicting perspectives, and derives patterns from the messiness often found in organisations. Creating a line-of-sight between strategy and implementation, she identifies gaps and duplication. Suzanne says that her job is to highlight the sense, and the nonsense, of a scheme by using the evidence and displaying it in rigorous architectural models.

Achieving a distinction for her Masters dissertation that researched how to communicate the ecological and social impact of a UK government project using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, her client and research participant reported that: "Suzanne's approach has very significant merit. This is the first thing I have seen that forces creativity, allowing us to step back and look at additional value, opportunities and risks in how we achieve our goals for better outcomes socially and economically, as well as environmentally."
