The Gartner® report Predicts 2024: Enterprise Architecture and Franchising Delivers New Value discusses some of the key challenges facing Chief Enterprise Architects in 2024. These include greater expectations from CxOs, greater financial evaluation of EA value, and an increased demand for EA services, leading other teams to undertake the discipline of EA rather than use the EA Team to provide them.
The report states that “By 2027, 60% of centralized EA functions will face an identity crisis as the work is increasingly delivered by adjacent business and IT functional units.”
At EAS we observe many of the challenges outlined in the report being faced by our clients, and are aligned with the suggestions made by Gartner, including:
- A focus on business architecture
- Using EA Governance as an enabler not a blocker
- Being a hub for innovation management
- Clearly defining the value being delivered by the EA Team
