Topic: Next Generation of Enterprise Architects
Key points of interest :
• At macro level, changes in the industry are creating two discontinuities- innovation Network and Value perception in the Enterprise.
• Innovation Network implies how different disciplines engage, work, define, generate and manage value. How inside the organization and industry professionals interact. How Organization protect their intellectual property.
• Value perception has shifted – it is no longer defined by Financial measures, recognize it is important for long term sustainability and it low includes social responsibility such as green footprint, 360 degree view etc.
• EA’s are not making decisions but have the RESPONSIBILITY (RACI Governance) to ensure quality of information upon which decisions are made is the highest quality at price
Further Discussion Threads:
• I understand the need for network and new value perception, the question is how do you transition a current Command and Control Organization structure into Network Organization?
• There is no industry out their that has lead in this space, so research and discussion among thought leaders is as open as wild wild west.
