Knowledge System
Brings methodologies, frameworks and operational knowledge together within a unified way of working.
MARIT Advisory Architecture
MARIT Knowledge System
A structured system of knowledge, methodologies and frameworks that connects facts, analysis and experience into reliable technology decisions.
Explore how MKS works →What is the MARIT Knowledge System?
MKS is a systematic framework that standardises how MARIT gathers facts, structures analysis and shapes recommendations for complex technology decisions.
Structured Approach
Introduces a clear logic from fact gathering through assessment, conclusions and recommendations.
Consistency
Enables different advisory engagements to be conducted according to common principles and quality standards.
Practical Application
Translates the methodological framework into a concrete way of working adapted to the client’s business and technology context.
How is MKS organised?
MKS connects methodological foundations and operational knowledge in a unified system for the consistent application of the MARIT advisory approach.
MKS-F Series
Foundation
Establishes the strategic and methodological foundations of the system through positioning, methodology and key advisory frameworks.
MKS-O Series
Operational Knowledge
Translates methodologies and frameworks into practical tools, guidance and control elements for day-to-day advisory work.
From Evidence to Decision and Action
MKS introduces a clear flow from gathering relevant facts, through structured assessment, to decisions and concrete next steps.
Evidence
Facts as the Starting Point
Relevant data, documentation, observations and business context are gathered as a verifiable basis for further analysis.
Assessment
Structured Assessment
Facts are examined through appropriate methodologies and frameworks to identify findings, risks, dependencies and opportunities.
Decision
A Clear Basis for Decision-Making
Conclusions, options and recommendations are structured to enable informed technology decisions aligned with business priorities.
Action
From Decision to Next Steps
Decisions are translated into priorities, a roadmap, governance guidance or other concrete activities required for implementation.
Methodology & Frameworks
MKS brings together a methodology and specialised frameworks that ensure a consistent approach to different types of technology decisions and advisory engagements.
MKS-101
Enterprise Technology Advisory Methodology
Defines a common way of working across different types of engagements, from understanding the business context and gathering facts to conclusions, recommendations and next steps.
MKS-102
Enterprise Technology Assessment Framework
Provides a consistent way to assess the current state, technology capabilities, risks, constraints and opportunities for improvement.
MKS-103
Technology Due Diligence Framework
Guides the assessment of the technology condition, key risks, dependencies and organisational capabilities when technology is an important factor in a business transaction or investment decision.
MKS-104
Technology Strategy Framework
Connects business priorities, technology opportunities and assessment outcomes into a structured technology direction and Technology Roadmap.
Why does MKS matter to clients?
A structured approach increases the clarity, consistency and reliability of technology decisions, particularly when they are complex, long-term or business-critical.
Consistency
The same principles and standards are applied across different types of advisory engagements, without improvisation in critical steps.
Traceability
A clear link between facts, findings, risks, conclusions and recommendations makes it possible to understand how a decision was formed.
Objectivity
The assessment is based on relevant facts, business context and a predefined methodological framework, rather than vendor interests.
Transparency
The client has clear insight into the assessment logic, the criteria used and the basis on which conclusions and recommendations were reached.
Repeatability
A structured way of working enables similar situations to be assessed according to common principles and makes results easier to compare over time.
Application in Decision-Making
Results are not an end in themselves — they are shaped to support concrete decisions, priorities and the organisation’s next steps.
Complex technology decisions require a clear and consistent framework.
Let’s discuss how a structured advisory approach can support the decisions facing your organisation.
