OSRAM is going through a fundamental transformation. In his presentation held at EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn Cajus Nitsch, Enterprise Architect at OSRAM, shared some insights of what they are doing and how this related to the required restart of Enterprise Architecture Management. You will learn how Nitsch turned a simple CIO documentation requirement in a project to shape an lean EA approach. With the help on the OSRAM EAM introduction project they were able to go on a 2 year journey with some tangible results for the IT organization. He closes with the success factors and pitfalls.

Reflection on 2 year OSRAM EA journey
• Put EA tool not in focus
• Select talents inside the organization to show development
path for jump start EA
• Target the whole IT organization
• Bring architecture team physically together (Workshops)
• Invest in communication
• Utilize every event to get the documentation up to date works
• Without capacity EA is not effective
• To develop internal IT staff towards
architecture is quite an effort and not
always possible
• Reserve time for communication outside
project frame
• EA is still away from business
