2018 Workshop

MACC 2018’s Workshop

Technologies today can advance business in unprecedented ways and business must leverage them to stay competitive. To support and embrace digital disruption, the business must develop a separate, integrated Innovation Strategy that supports their Business Strategy.  To be effective, architects must understand how to apply traditional approaches to dramatically changing technology landscape. Architecture Strategy is the bridge between Business and Innovation Strategy that provides target state architectures and roadmaps for execution of digital business transformation.

In this workshop, we will work through a case study using a pragmatic approach to support a collaborative architecture process that is informed by target state architectures supporting the new world of architecture and increased expectations of all architects involved in the delivery of innovative solutions to the enterprise.  A mix of presentation, group discussions, and exercises will be used to provide an understanding of the role each discipline plays.
