A World Renewed

Remote work during the pandemic has presented Enterprise Architects (EA’s) and Technology Innovation leaders with new challenges. Collaborating on developing new solutions and rapid prototyping while staying attentive to costs, information security risks, and business strategy top the list.

Architects have a unique understanding of the interconnectedness and dependencies in their enterprises, both vertical between strategy, operations, and execution and lateral between stages in the value stream, dependencies between capabilities, or the flow of information across the application landscape.

Prior to the pandemic, EA’s could use this knowledge for digital transformation, improving business agility, streamlining operations or rolling new infrastructure to support the digital workplace. Today, EA’s can use the same knowledge to support urgent demands such as scaling up certain operations and enabling the digital workforce to get started.

Organizations need to re-prioritize their strategic investment roadmaps with scenario planning efforts led by EA’s. Take actions that are differentiating showing the new way for future growth. Leveraging tools such as maturity assessment capabilities, value stream maps can help identify management of current and future costs.

Pro-actively engage and support business leaders overseeing critical initiatives
