About this episode

The episode discusses the drawbacks of Enterprise Architecture in large enterprises and offers insights on how to restructure organizations to move away from outdated solutions.

It emerges from a common set of conditions - and so in many ways it is an unsurprising thing to see in large enterprise. However, so-called "Enterprise Architecture", and really any software architecture that hardens into a role or department, is nothing but waste. On this episode we discuss why that is, and what you can do about it. Like any other deep organizational wound - simply pulling the knife out isn't a great solution. Delicately and skillfully setting up your organziation so that it is no longer dependent on this antiquated solution is the path that the leader should follow. Thanks for joining us this month - please enjoy the episode!
