Business architecture and enterprise architects have a central role in defining the enterprise of the future, facilitate change and communication, harness innovation, enforce governance, and orchestrate an intelligent global organization.
Innovation & architecture: Business architecture integrates the art and science for unpuzzling innovation serendipity. Business management needs to work on an opportunity and then figure out what is the enterprise architecture existing out there for harnessing innovation. To continuously innovate within organizations, individuals and groups need to connect and communicate more openly, easily and effectively. A clearly designed architecture brings enriched knowledge, technology/process aspect, a broader perspective on how to explore the customers’ need, developing a robust innovation pipeline to improve. It’s also a good planning and communication tool to craft innovation strategy and enhance cross-functional collaboration.
Innovation is the essence of evolution. It takes vision, empathy, and understanding to drive innovation effort. Customer-centric innovation often happens at the intersection of people, process, and technology, tailoring their taste to provide people-centric solutions, with a measurable and sustainable increase in effectiveness and customer value creation. A well-designed architecture helps to eliminate confusion, apply a holistic view, align resources and talent, develop the culture of learning and innovation, take customized approaches to each critical problem, and solve it innovatively.
Globalization & architecture: Organizations face numerous distractions and all sorts of challenges, striving to build global companies. It’s critical to look deeply into the future which can have a profound effect on where you go, and how you get there. With today’s business velocity and frequent digital disruptions, the challenge of Business Architecture is to build a global organization in times of change. Forethoughtful companies leverage Business Architecture to orchestrate dynamic planning processes, encouraging cross boundary management disciplines.
In practice, business architecture as an effective communication tool can help an organization understand and manage globalization. Digital boundary is not static, business architecture as an effective communication tool helps organizational management understand organizational and departmental level readiness for any change in business capabilities and manage globalization dynamically and effectively. Business management leverages business architecture as a tool to optimize processes with expanded business boundaries, enabling information and idea flow by reducing tensions, frictions, and conflicts that arise, building a real-time intelligent global organization.
Architecture & governance: Governance is one of the most important tasks of enterprise-architecture, to ensure the enterprise is running in the right direction and well heading to the destination. Governance is about enforcing "decision-making optimization" and “accountability enforcement.” There are governance practices to enforce accountability at every level of the organization. And there are varying governance activities such as delegation of authority, auditing, or strategy monitoring, etc. Enterprise-architecture as a governance enabler can be used to raise visibility and awareness for many business issues that are captured at the different levels of the organization.
How to enforce the organizational governance discipline depends on the nature, scale, and complexity of the organization. It’s important to clarify and enhance governance with organization roles and responsibilities. Governance can begin with frameworks, policies and standards to be put in place, governance practice should be shared cross-enterprise collaboratively. So enterprise-architecture can be used in governance efforts that help business management gain an in-depth understanding of their risks and conducts; right use of standards, policies, and industry reference models, improve the level of organizational maturity.
Complexity and uncertainty have increased significantly; imagine the complexity that comes in due to these characteristics (less structure, fewer rules and regulations, diversity, ambiguity, unpredictability, lack of linearity, and increased flux, working and impacting together. The planning process is never "done,” it is a continuous cycle with the proper adjustment on the way. Business architecture and enterprise architects have a central role in defining the enterprise of the future, facilitate change and communication, harness innovation, enforce governance, and orchestrate an intelligent global organization.
