The evolution of Enterprise Architecture in business transformation

The evolution of Enterprise Architecture in business transformation

Organizations of all sizes and industries face an increasingly complex and rapidly changing business environment that may hinder successful business transformation. The leading innovation author and speaker Peter Hinssen calls it the “Never Normal” – a world with more frequent ‘seismic shocks’ of technology innovation, geopolitical conflicts, and ecological challenges affecting the very fundamentals of business, and the ‘polycrises’ when multiple catastrophic events occur together.
 

This new reality presents a wickedly complex challenge for business leaders to understand and respond more quickly to this mix of threats and opportunities while simultaneously transforming their organizations to achieve business goals.

Organizations must embrace the uncertainty of not knowing what will happen next and methods that enable them to navigate this complexity early enough, or they risk going the way of Kodak, Blockbuster, and Nokia.

Building the Future: Strategy, Growth, and Vision for 2025

Overview of a futuristic digital city

It’s been a great first quarter, and I’d like to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve achieved since bringing together three market leaders in Enterprise Architecture. The merger of Bizzdesign, MEGA, and Alfabet has created a powerful force in the industry – one that’s already delivering results. Together, we’re building something new: a unified organization with a bold vision, strong momentum, and the expertise to help our customers navigate constant change.

For the first time as a combined company, we shared insight into our scale and momentum. We’ve now built a $110 million revenue business with strong ARR and a healthy EBITDA profit margin. With 600+ employees and over 2,000 customers, we’re continuing to scale with purpose.
