Summary
Industry thought leader Whynde Kuehn served as guest editor for this September 2018 issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal, focused architecture as the critical enabler for achieving organizational agility. Kuehn’s opening statement provides a thoughtful commentary on the concept of business agility — the ability of an organization to continually anticipate and react to change in response to significant forces such as globalization and technology. She further constructs the idea that organizations are living organisms that must continuously adapt to today’s changing business and market environments.
The nine articles within this issue explore the contradictory idea that architecture — something perceived as structural, static, constraining, governing — is actually the enabler for an organization, which allows it to become more agile and fluid, from strategy through execution.
