10:00 am – 11:00 am: “A New Take on Strategy Execution“

Klas Sjödahl

Senior Enterprise Architect ARDOQ

As organizations undergo increasingly faster rates of change and increased business model complexity, it’s getting less relevant to define long term strategies, and more on how one is able to steer towards intended sustainable strategy execution. In this context, a new model emerges that focuses on ongoing value creation and distributed decision-making where the Business Architect has an increasingly important role to play. Now more than ever, it’s important for Business Architects to establish the views and insights that will support multifaceted complex decision-making and preemptively mitigate downstream pitfalls.

In this session, attendees will learn more about this approach and how to continuously balance demands and execution with intended architecture.

Tanisha Fitts
VP Director, Business Process Optimization

Business Architecture at T. Rowe Price was not a linear, well-thought-out business strategy to create a business architecture practice or team. Business Architecture literally became an overnight strategic necessity as our Fortune 500 financial services firm had doubled in size and expanded to serve clients in over 50 countries in less than 4 years. This is the story and lessons learned of how a swat team of four associates with no Business Architecture training or backgrounds came together to become a business architecture practice and in less than 2 years and enabled a global, organization-wide dialogue on accountability and capability ownership – a foundational journey that has yielded significant business value for T. Rowe Price – and is positioned to pay dividends for years to come.
