We have established this blog as a place to discuss the many dimensions of Strategic Enterprise Architecting for Disruptive Change. There is no doubt that many enterprises are facing serious challenges including Generative AI, the worldwide epidemic, climate change, and workforce realignment. Business strategies need to anticipate and respond to disruptions on an ongoing basis, ensuring that their core capabilities remain relevant and effective.
As we present in our book, in many ways, enterprises need to be aware of the future that has already happened and adapt their culture, processes, information, technology, and resources rapidly. These adaptations are needed to ensure fitness for today’s purpose.
However, the scope and timeframe of disruptions must include different plausible futures, which, when represented by scenarios, provide a approach that emphasizes flexibility for rapid adaptation to any of the identified set of plausible futures. Strategic signals help uncover shifts that may suggest that some futures are no longer plausible, while others emerge as contenders.
We will entertain discussions of many topics relating to strategic business and architectures for enterprises. In a sense, it’s a time bomb, since failure to plan for fitness for future disruptions could impact the viability of the enterprise, as we have seen with many established household names in recent years. We represent this with the word cloud below.
