Original EA Survey
Several years ago, Henley Business School launched a research project with McKinsey & Company to better understand what makes Enterprise Architecture successful.
The results of this survey – some findings can be found here – delivered many insights. It showed that digital transformations without the involvement of Enterprise Architecture teams accumulate technical debt and reduce reuse. In contrast the proper setup of Enterprise Architecture counteracts these issues and enhances the value of the group.
Why this new survey?
The original research focused on Enterprise Architecture as an organizational unit, accepting that most levers of operating model performance are moved by executives.
This new survey evaluates the skills of these leaders, and also the capabilities of all those working in architecture and transformation across the enterprise.
The main questions span your Personal, Architecture and Enterprise Capabilities. It also includes the enterprise context and factors affecting your performance and progression.
Benefits to you and the community
We need your support to create a comprehensive database of skills and success patterns in Enterprise Architecture and Transformation.
Participants will receive a personal overview of their capabilities and access to summary results after collection of sufficient data points.
