Traditionally, EA has focused on delivering a set of guiding principles, frameworks, reference models, blueprints, and roadmaps to support operational ­excellence as well as strategic business and IT alignment goals. Today this focus is shifting toward lever­aging collaborative, agile, disruptive, and innovative approaches to executing EA practices for digital transformation. Like many thought leaders, I believe that in order to successfully implement a new change, a new EA must be pro­active and customer-oriented. This new EA must be innovative enough to deliver tangible business results more consistently and more frequently to capitalize on the IoT opportunity. EA and IoT together help enterprises to leverage their capabilities (people, process, and technology) while establishing mechanisms or conduits for the digital transformation.

Culture is defined by the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular social group. Workplace culture is the environment that you create for your employees. This includes the mix of organizational leadership, values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviors, and attitudes that contribute to the emotional and relational environment of the workplace. The authors define six drivers that determine the culture of a workplace and provide insight on how these drivers interact to create an environment that is either enabling and energizing or toxic and debilitating, with an extended discussion of the perceived value of people and teams.
There has been much talk recently regarding a convergence of information security and privacy. Not that this is anything particularly new - convergence has been happening ever since privacy became a concern. After all, privacy requires the implementation of robust information security controls and appropriate safeguards. There are at least 46 privacy breach notice laws in the US alone; understanding and complying with their multiple requirements (to say nothing of the growing number of other national and international privacy laws) will require privacy and information security areas to work together for effective enterprise-wide management.
How do we ensure that we are getting the most from big data, cognitive computing, and whatever lies beyond, to improve the probability of making the right decisions, in the right context, and for the right reasons? We believe that lessons learned in over five decades of Lean Thinking can help guide us forward in this journey, and we will use examples from the financial services industry to illustrate them.
