Enterprise Architecture: The People Have Spoken
Lean Leader Summit 2025
As IT professionals and enterprise architects, we often become enamored with or disrupted by technology. Technology is what motivates and challenges us. Understanding how we can leverage it to make positive change in our business organizations is important and necessary.
But the biggest obstacle to realizing change is not technology. It is people. Managing change involves giving as much or more attention to the people aspect as it does understanding and leveraging technology. Yet, most IT professionals don’t address this aspect sufficiently enough to enable change in their organizations.
This presentation will focus on managing change, evolving corporate culture, and ensuring that you have the right skills in place to make effective change in your organization. Don’t underestimate the power of the people. They can make or break your target enterprise architecture.
So, You Think You are Doing Digital Transformation?
