We have just released our new INNOQ podcast episode “Enterprise Architektur – Vom Elfenbeinturm ins Clubhaus“.
Anja Kammer and I talk about how Enterprise Architecture can support companies to make sure IT supports their company goals and strategy. Again, this podcast is in german.
The main message of this podcast is that EAs need to understand the needs of all stakeholders and players affected by a change and find a solution that addresses most of these needs. Therefore being an EA means understanding the organization, the roles involved and -often forgotten- the individual persons fulfilling those roles.
EAs don’t take decisions alone and on their own and then enforce their implementation, but instead shall enable other architects, developers and other persons involved to take their own informed decisions.
In Team Topologies speech modern EA teams do their work as enabling teams.
In easy terms: be accessible, friendly, smile and help others grow.
