Designing Digital Transformation with Enterprise Architecture
Thursday 03 March 2022Â
Disrupt or be disrupted in the new digital landscape?
The dynamic change in technology capabilities and customer requirements means that business strategies must be fluid. Effective business design enables a company to respond to new competitive challenges and opportunities. But, can companies implement their business strategies without designing for digital? In this webinar, we will explain how Enterprise Architecture can help to design and ensure success with digital transformations. In companies that that are designed for digital, people, processes, data, technology and physical infrastructure are aligned to identify and deliver innovative services and solutions. This webinar offers different perspectives and practical examples on digital design with Enterprise Architecture and Enterprise Modelling from both academic and industry experts.
