Enterprise System Lead
If a football club has multiple squads competing in different leagues, someone needs to ensure that the coaching philosophies, talent development pipelines, and organizational practices work together. The sporting director fills this role: not coaching any single squad, but shaping the overall system in which all squads operate.
The Enterprise System Lead is this function in AME3.
- The Enterprise System Lead is the System Lead for the work system at Enterprise level.
- They can also be System Lead for an Arena.
The Enterprise System Lead works across all Arenas, ensuring that the Tournament runs effectively, that System Leads in different Arenas exchange practices, and that the organizational structure evolves with the Enterprise Product. They experiment with the right cadence for Tournaments and Matches, because no two organizations are the same.
In smaller organizations, the Enterprise System Lead may also serve as System Lead for one of the Arenas. As the Enterprise grows, this becomes impractical: the Enterprise-level work demands full attention. For a practical example of how this function develops, see The System Lead.
