Bizzdesign Enterprise Architecture Podcast

Alko is the national alcoholic beverage retailing monopoly in Finland. It is the only store in the country which retails beer over 5.5% ABV, wine, and spirits.
In this episode, we speak to AJ Kangas about how the pandemic affected its retail operations in Finland.

In this session, we will be talking to Regine and John at Auckland Transport about how EA is having an impact on the organization. Specifically, we talk about

• How the team breaks down the organization into 8 domains
• How the team collaborates to understand the goals and outcomes of the business and aligning transformation to meet those goals
• How to avoid EA being seen as the “Standards Police” and move that reputation to that of a collaborator and enabler to digital transformation
• The development of the Government Enterprise Architecture for New Zealand (GEA-NZ) Framework and how this framework is getting attention from other governments around the world

In this episode, we are joined by Milan Guenther, Co-Author of Enterprise Design Patterns and President at Intersection Group, and Marc Lankhorst, Chief Technology Evangelist at BiZZdesign. We discuss the emerging trend of increasingly blurred organizational boundaries between supply chain, partners and the customers, and the overall enterprise ecosystem - and how this necessitates a much more thorough and proactive process of enterprise design and ecosystem modeling.

In this episode, we speak to Ian Anderson at Ellucian. Ian has deep experience in Enterprise Architecture in the Higher Education space and begins by drawing the parallels between Higher Ed and Enterprises - noting that both are businesses and in that respect very similar in how they operate - the only difference being that Higher Ed talks about Faculty, Students and Courses - whereas enterprises talk about staff, customers and products. We hope you enjoy the interview.

In this episode we will be talking to Jeremy Viner from the Royal Bank of Scotland, Jeremy takes us through a journey of change at the bank, retiring legacy systems and replacing with new standards, process and tools to increase the impact of EA at the bank. But we don't just talk software, instead Jeremy talks us through the change process he undertook within the context of the Kotter change model.
