Description
Constructing a solid foundation for business execution is crucial for achieving success, yet many firms struggle to get ahead. Enterprise Architecture as Strategy: Creating a Foundation for Business Execution provides guidance on how to build a robust IT infrastructure and digitized business processes to automate core capabilities. The authors demonstrate how to define an operating model, a vision for how a firm will survive and grow, and implement it through enterprise architecture. By making tough decisions about which processes to execute well and implementing the necessary IT systems, companies can enhance profitability, reduce time to market, and improve strategy execution. A key insight from the book is that enterprise architecture may matter more than strategy itself when it comes to executing business goals. With clear and engaging explanations, the authors show how to apply this concept to real-world companies and achieve tangible results.
