# Pragmatic Consulting — TOGAF, ArchiMate & Best-Practice ArchitectureEnterprise-architecture and organizational consulting that ships outcomes, not shelfware — TOGAF and Kotusev's Best Practice Architecture, ArchiMate models, public procurement under GATT/WTO, and in-house teams we build and hand over.

Good consulting leaves you stronger, not dependent — outcomes you own, not a binder of shelfware. We ground ours in proven enterprise-architecture practice — **TOGAF** (the architecture method), **Kotusev's Best Practice Architecture** (what enterprise architecture *actually* looks like when it works) and **ArchiMate** (the modelling language) — and bring hands-on **public-procurement** and **organizational-design** experience. The point is delivery, not academia: a clear target architecture, an organization that can run it, and a team we train and hand over to you.

We are **TOGAF Level 1 & 2 certified** and qualified in **Kotusev's Best Practice Architecture**. We have designed and built organizations, trained their architecture, security and development teams, and handed over to the client several times. For public tenders we have hands-on experience under the **GATT/WTO** procurement regime — open, selective and invitation procedures — on **both sides**, as the contracting authority's advisor and as the bidder.

## What we bring — and what each gives you, pragmatically

| Framework / capability | What it gives you — pragmatically | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
| **TOGAF** (architecture method) | A structured way from business strategy to a target architecture and a roadmap — used pragmatically, not as a 1,000-page artifact nobody reads. We are TOGAF Level 1 & 2 certified. | Enterprise architecture · [Rent-an-Enterprise-Architect](/portfolio/rent-an-enterprise-architect/) |
| **Best Practice Architecture** (Kotusev) | Enterprise architecture grounded in what *actually* works in practice — the empirical correction to framework dogma. Lean artifacts that get used, not shelved. | EA that ships · [Rent-an-Enterprise-Architect](/portfolio/rent-an-enterprise-architect/) |
| **ArchiMate** (The Open Group) | A shared model of business, application and technology layers — so strategy, architecture and change are visible and discussable, not slideware. Pairs with the [Automation](/automation/) work. | Architecture modelling · [Rent-an-Enterprise-Architect](/portfolio/rent-an-enterprise-architect/) |
| **Public procurement (GATT/WTO)** | Hands-on tender expertise under the WTO/GPA regime — open, selective and invitation procedures — on both sides: advising the contracting authority and constructing winning, compliant bids. | Tenders · [Rent-a-Public-Tender-Lead](/portfolio/rent-a-public-tender-lead/) |
| **Organizational design & handover** | We design and build the organization, train your architecture, security and development teams, and hand over — so it runs without us. No dependency by design. | Org design & team building · [Rent-a-Security-Officer](/portfolio/rent-a-security-officer/) |

The questions below are grouped for the **CEO** (what to do), the **CIO** (how), the frameworks and methodology, and working together.
