Enterprise Architecture for Leadership
Enterprise Architecture (EA) has long been misunderstood as a bottleneck to innovation, often labeled the “department of no.” But in today’s fast-paced world of Agile, DevOps, Cloud, and AI, does EA still have a role to play—or is it a relic of the past?
This session will highlight the need for Enterprise Architecture in the modern enterprise. It will show how EA can help provide line-of-sight from business to IT assets and management. Leaders will learn how to build out a future-proof version of EA that thrives in the modern landscape.
