Aligning Business, Innovation and Architecture Strategy
Businesses today cannot ignore technology disruption and innovation if they are to be competitive. To support and embrace digital disruption, the business must develop a separate, integrated Innovation Strategy aligned to their Business Strategy. These strategies, in turn, must be aligned to an Architecture Strategy. The Workshop will present the strategy development and architecture process and practices that can be used to align Business, Innovation and Architecture strategies. Attendees will be led through a process of presentation and labs to provide hands-on exercises to understand the strategy alignment process and will highlight the development of an Innovation Strategy.
