In-person Lunch with Roger Burlton, President of Process Renewal Consulting Group Inc.:

Connecting Enterprise Architecture and Business Strategy

Enterprise Architecture is typically called upon to help us define the needs for Information Technology priorities, structure, and change. This is an important and helpful service but are we doing enough? Are we missing the opportunity to be key players in the strategic aspects of business planning and operations as organizations move to increase digitalization?

This session will explore how enterprise architects can, and need to be present and have influence in the establishment of the work structure of the enterprise by tackling external stakeholder needs and expectations and assuring their traceability to the processes / value streams that are executed every day. Can we help to bring a consistency that serves all architectural and business management points of view?

If we can align and trace external stakeholders, strategy, Information, business performance measurement, processes, change priorities, the business change portfolio, and delivery of all aspects of true capability then we have an opportunity to make a marked difference in our increasingly connected businesses.
