Enterprise Transformation and the Role of Open Standards

Enterprise transformation seems to be gathering momentum within the

enterprise architecture community. The term, enterprise transformation,

suggests the process of fundamentally changing an enterprise. Sometimes the

transformation is dramatic but for most of us it is a steady process.

Key takeaways:

Setting expectations and planning transformation

The role of standards in enterprise transformation

The work of the members of The Open Group.

Allen Brown, President and CEO of The Open Group, will present at this month’s

EA Forum. Allen has been responsible for driving The Open Group’s strategic

plan and day-to-day operations for over 10 years. He is TOGAF® 9 certified, an

MBA alumnus of the London Business School and a Fellow of the Association of

Chartered Certified Accountants.


Enterprise Transformation

The role of open standards

Customers and suppliers working

together


A journey …


There is no miracle moment

“The good-to-great companies had

no name for their transformations.

There was no launch event, no tag

line, no programmatic feel

whatsoever. Some executives said

that they weren’t even aware that a

major transformation was under way

until they were well into it. It was

often more obvious to them after the

fact than at the time.”

Great companies

Gillette

“We didn’t really make a big conscious decision or

launch a big program to initiate a major change or

transition. Individually and collectively we were

coming to conclusions about what we could do to

dramatically improve our performance”

Kimberly-Clark

“I don’t think it was done as bluntly as it sounds.

These things don’t happen overnight. They grow.

The ideas grow and mushroom and come into

being.”
