The emergence of CX design as a key discipline practiced by many organizations has opened up some questions about how it relates to business architecture. This Executive Update provides an overview of the benefits and integration points between CX design and business architecture, two mutually beneficial disciplines, both critical to customer centricity and transformation. 

EA can be an effective tool for addressing digital and IT transformation in businesses of any size, as long as they are not rigid about their approach and do not try using a big hammer where thumb pressure will work.

This Executive Update highlights the importance of V for value in big data strategies. The discussion also explores how the adoption of big data is more than using technologies or undertaking analytics.

In this Advisor, I look at three stages of information superiority, with increasing levels of customer centricity.

In this on-demand webinar, you'll discover the challenges and pitfalls associated with adopting design thinking and learn how to overcome these challenges in your organization.

Cloud service providers (CSPs) are a new breed of IT service provider, popular around the world and across industries, and so the regulatory spotlight is shining on them more as they acquire larger enterprise customers in regulated industries.

In this article, Evangelos Vayias and Ioannis Konstantinidis offer a roadmap for digital transformation and tell us how OTE Group used it to transform itself “from a ‘fast-bleeding,’ bureaucratic telco into a modern, competitive, high-performance service company” through the application of IoT-related technologies. 

This Advisor proposes a five-“I” framework for carrying out a discovery process to uncover opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement in business applications. Application development and support teams can use this framework for running continuous improvements using collaborating innovation and proactively address the evolving needs of business.

Agility, the ability to change direction fast when change is needed, is not something achieved by training your teams in a base set of practices. That might improve efficiency, but it doesn’t, of itself, give the ability to change direction rapidly. If you need agility, you need people who understand; who understand what is appropriate in the new context, and who can switch to doing that very rapidly.

In this article, Claude Baudoin discusses promising IIoT applications in the oil and gas (O&G) sector. 

Anjali Kaushik and Kanishk Gaur discuss the most important reason for not adopting IIoT: security. In this article, they warn readers of the possible damage that can result from a lack of adequate security, providing several real-world examples of the harm caused by past cyber attacks. 

This article examines the way the data collected over the IIoT ecosystem of interconnected humans and machines can be collected, managed, and exploited. The authors focus particularly on a concept they call "enterprise personal analytics" (EPA) and provide a digital transformation roadmap companies can use to adopt EPA, examining the emerging concept through different perspectives (company, worker, and modality) and related concerns (individual information systems architecture, knowledge and intellectual property, motivation and remuneration, information governance, and quality assurance).

Łukasz Paciorkowski starts by asking two critical questions: first, why should we implement IIoT solutions, and second, how should we do so? He convincingly demonstrates why companies should invest in the Industrial Internet by offering a real-world example taken from an ongoing project in the biopharma industry, one of the world’s most restricted fields. 

We’re in the very beginning of a revolution dubbed the "Internet of Things," which enables us to propose and develop solutions for interacting with everything connected to the global Internet. Today, it’s the time for everything, rather than everyone, to get connected.

Discover a light and flexible planning process that is rigorous enough to create performance indices that can control your project. You’ll learn how to plan your Agile project so that you can develop an effective and flexible performance measurement baseline (PMB) that sustains the implementation of EVM controls.  

In this Advisor, we provide an overview of our view on the role of the enterprise architect as a catalyst in enabling business transformation, driving innovation, and managing the innovation lifecycle.

The healthcare industry is wide open for applying blockchain technology, and we are seeing many projects and commercial efforts underway that center around healthcare data sharing, data protection, regulatory compliance, and process and transaction optimization.

If we believe AI to be a threat to our civilization, it must introduce some substantial risk that is different from the risks that we are already exposed to. Does AI really introduce a new risk? Do machines that incorporate AI pose a threat to human existence? This Executive Update attempts to answer that question.

One can argue that Agile methods do not pay off without trust to oil the wheels.
