What is Digital
Transformation?

technological and organizational
change in companies

• Front to back
–End-to-end from the customer
to the systems of record
• Breadth of interaction
–Diversity of customer
touchpoints an form factors
• Depth of community
–Broad ecosystems of vendors
and services

Digital Transformation
What are you transforming?
Digital Transformation =
Business Transformation
Customer
Experience
Technology
Internal
Organization
All of the
Above

Getting to ‘Square Zero’
• Digital transformation can’t start in
earnest until you clean up the worst
messes
– Does IT know what apps it’s responsible
for?
– Does IT know which systems talk to
which?
• Fix what’s broken
– Iteratively
– With constant focus on customer
priorities
– Avoid being dogmatic

Optimization vs. Innovation
Innovation
Disrupt status quo
to allow human
creativity to
flourish
Optimization
Establish
feedback loops
that maximize
business
outcome

Business Transformation for
Innovation
• How do you get teams to
capitalize on disruption?
• How do you take
creative individuals and
get them to innovate?
Self-Organization

EA Shouldn’t Be City Planning

• The more planned a city
is, the less agile it
becomes
• How do we get the
results we want from an
unplanned city?

New Role for Enterprise Architects
• Leverage data to
properly balance
optimization and
disruption
• Essential for achieving
market-leading levels
of innovation

The Center of Digital
Enablement
• Team responsible for end-
to-end best practice across
digital effort
• Where the enterprise
architects fit in
• Essentially becomes an
innovation competency
center

Let CODE self-organize

There is no Shortcut!
Remember, Digital
Transformation isn’t
about the Digital,
it’s about the
Transformation!
