In this installment of StraightTalk, we will explore just a few different ways in which business architecture can be leveraged for initiative planning.

Silos are in many ways just inherently human, but unchecked, they can become detrimental to an organization’s success. Business architecture is uniquely qualified to break down and bridge silos, as this installment explores.
