SIM Enterprise Architecture: "Turning Strategy Into Reality With Business Architecture"
2024-02-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
About the Session:
Effective strategy execution – the ability to translate and implement business direction in a coordinated way at pace – has never been more important than it is now. With digital business and a connected world, change is the new normal and resources are precious.
Business architecture is increasingly recognized as a key enabler of strategy execution by organizations, industry associations, and academia. Business architecture not only bridges a unique and important gap for organizations, but also facilitates stronger partnerships between business and technology teams.
Join “Strategy to Reality“ author, Whynde Kuehn, and guest expert panelists Ben Abrishami-Shirazi, Anu Ganesh, and Geeta Pyne in an interactive discussion where we will explore how organizations can build new muscle for cohesive, end-to-end strategy execution. We will then explore business and enterprise architecture’s critical role across strategy execution to help translate strategies into reality and build modular, future ready organizations that are resilient, agile, and poised for digital business and growth. Finally, we will discuss practical next steps to move these ideas into action.
Thank you to our sponsor:
