This marks the 50th installment of StraightTalk, and we’re returning to our roots. Waaay back in Post No. 3, we introduced a new vision for strategy execution and explored how business architecture could help to enable it. We called it the Strategy Execution Metanoia, because a metanoia is a transformational moment – when you see the world in a different way and can’t go back.

StraightTalk focuses on business architecture, but we know that our discipline is part of a larger entity — the enterprise architecture (EA) umbrella. As a result, a strong partnership among every one of the architecture disciplines is critical for all of our success — and for the success of our organizations. This installment highlights the notable progress made so far by the Business Architecture Workstream, within the Open Group Architecture Forum, to align the TOGAF® enterprise architecture framework with the BIZBOK® Guide.

In this installment of StraightTalk, we explore another topic relevant to our digital future: blockchain and distributed ledger technology. We explore how business architecture can help organizations to leverage blockchain and distributed ledger technology for value.

Business architecture is front and center to helping organizations prepare for a digital future. In this installment of StraightTalk, we explore how business architecture can help organizations to harness this artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
