The Transformable Enterprise Noah Fang

The organizations of today are forced to constantly transform themselves to remain competitive in the new digital world, but only a few know how to design and execute the process of transformation. "Anyone can pick up the brush and the palette," said Elizabeth Margo, "but only a few know how to paint the masterpiece." Enterprise transformation the hard way-the heroic way-is no longer a viable option. Only the transformable will survive and thrive. The Transformable Enterprise: Enterprise Architecture in a New Key challenges current enterprise architecture practices, which are mostly inspired by engineers seeking freedom from constraints of science, art, and architecture in both structure and style. The game's afoot. Immerse yourself in the world of the New Key Club at its most prestigious epoch-making event and witness scientists, artists, designers, and engineers ruminating on the purpose, function, process, structure, and culture of the constituent parts of the transformable enterprise. With access to the secret materials from the last event, you will become the linchpin of your future enterprise and its transformations. Let the authors take you on a journey of exploration and discovery in and around this fascinating, romantic world of enterprise architecture and transformation that will help you: - identify and remove the blocks that keep you from moving to the right side of the architecture/engineering continuum; - leverage the guiding metaphor of a powerful enterprise transformation to frame the concept of transformable enterprise, generate new insights, and open new horizons; - understand how to align an enterprise's social and digital architectures; - make visibility, legibility, clarity, and uniformity the essential characteristics of your enterprise; and - discover and implement the winning formula for your enterprise.
