Next Generation of Enterprise Architecture Design Thinking Workshop

Objective of Meeting

The main goal of the meeting was to discuss and shape Enterprise Architecture in the new era Forum activity in order to clarify the scope and approach. The session was organized in the form of a Design Thinking workshop in order to facilitate brainstorming and innovative ideas from attendees.

Summary

The meeting started with a presentation delivered by the Forum Vice-Chair in relation to the Design Thinking activity. The Forum Director also provided a summary of the meetings held in advance of the workshop to provide an overview of the whole  activity.  The Forum Co-Chair explained the materials and approach to be used and provided a summary of the session organized in June that was the starting point for this session. Attendees used the materials to provide input in the form of post-its and a flip chart to discuss ideas in relation to the Enterprise Architecture discipline and its major actors to clarify the course of action to be taken.

The session continued with brainstorming from attendees, followed by the wrap-up and definition of actions.
