QuestionQ77
VerifiedIntroduction to Applying the ADMOverview
You are serving as an Enterprise Architect at a technology company. The company has several subsidiary companies involved in mobile, online shopping, cloud computing services, and a social media platform. The company has expanded quickly and says it is adding 20 million new users each month.
The company has a well-established Enterprise Architecture (EA) program based on the TOGAF standard, jointly sponsored by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). In your position as an Enterprise Architect on the EA team, you collaborate closely with the business stakeholders across the company as well as the sponsors.
Existing environment
Senior leadership in the company is concerned about the organization’s ability to respond to the challenges of climate change and the opportunities related to artificial intelligence. They are worried that the business will not be sustainable unless significant changes are made. Most senior leaders believe that operations must become more efficient, and that the organization needs to change in order to achieve its future goals.
The CEO has decided that reorganizing its subsidiaries around artificial intelligence and machine learning will improve the way the company creates and delivers value. The sponsors have approved an EA project for the reorganization. The EA team has developed a strategic architecture with the CEO and CIO. It includes an Architecture Vision and high-level definitions of the domain architectures. This defines an ambitious plan over a three-year period and covers three distinct transformations to implement the reorganization.
Requirements
The sponsors have read reports indicating that up to 70% of companies are failing at digital and artificial intelligence transformation. They have made it clear that, before approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, the EA team must assess and mitigate the risks associated with the reorganization. They want assurance that the reorganization will succeed and deliver the promised increases in value for the business.
You have been asked by the EA team leader to recommend an approach for addressing the sponsors’ request.
