The Open Group sat down with Dr. Robert Winter, professor at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, to talk about Enterprise Architecture management and transformation management following his keynote at the Barcelona Conference on Tuesday, October 23.
Dr. Winter’s session opened with the question, “Should we design and engineer methods like software?” His answer: “Yes!” Dr. Winter stresses that customization and componentization are essential when building Enterprise Architectures, making sure that architectures are constructed to fit a specific need or case and that components are reused. He also notes that enterprise architects cannot accomplish everything alone, as team work between enterprise architects and other departments are critical to organizational success.
