Independent consultant · Solopreneur

Hi, I'm Lars Barkman.

I help enterprises design, develop, and operate digital solutions they can rely on — and I build the models and tooling behind it.

The writings are where I think in the open — catching myself in the act of thinking, testing a position, or arriving at an understanding I only thought I had.

The ventures span two areas, each approached as knowledge, tooling, and services — consulting the most direct of them, and the rest where I stop describing problems and start building.

The resume is the 20+ years that led here — the same instinct running through all of it: to understand how things really work, and to make them work better.

    The Types of Enterprise Service
    The enterprise-service taxonomy divides first by delivery mechanism, then by primary consumer and promised capability across Digital and Human-Delivered Services.
  • Aug 29, 2026enterprise-design
    When a Digital Service Still Needs a Human
    Human involvement in a digital service can mean three different things β€” restoring a broken promise, extending it for one customer, or building capability outside it entirely β€” each with different economics and management responsibilities.

Everything I am involved in, in one view β€” two areas spanning the digital solution life cycle and enterprise operating, each worked as knowledge, tooling, and services.

  • Solution Architect (Interim)
    Stepping in as solution architect β€” designing the architecture, leading the technical decisions, and staying hands-on through delivery.
  • Enterprise Architect (Interim)
