Please read this scenario prior to answering the question.
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a leading global technology enterprise specializing in digital infrastructure, cloud computing, and data-centric innovation. The company provides a vast ecosystem of platforms that serve billions of users across the globe. These platforms span online marketplaces, advanced advertising networks, AI-driven services, productivity tools, and digital entertainment experiences.
The senior leadership within the company is worried about the company’s ability to address all the opportunities around artificial intelligence. They feel that the business is at risk of falling behind its competitors and that significant changes are necessary for the business to remain competitive. Most senior leaders feel that operations need to be more efficient and that the organization needs to change to achieve its future goals.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Information Officer and senior executives. In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the Enterprise Architecture team, you work closely with the business stakeholders in the company as well as the sponsors.
The Chief Executive Officer 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 a project for the reorganization, which is being led by the Enterprise Architecture team.
The Enterprise Architecture team has developed a strategic architecture that has been approved by the sponsors. It includes an Architecture Vision and high-level definitions of the domain architectures. This sets out a plan over a multi-year period and covers three distinct transformations to implement the reorganization.
The sponsors have read reports that the majority of transformation projects dealing with digital and artificial intelligence are failing. They have made it clear that, prior to approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, the Enterprise Architecture team needs to address the risks associated with the reorganization. They want assurance that the reorganization will succeed and deliver the promised increases in value for the business.
