Enterprise Architecture Beyond IT | Nov 6, 2026 | Embracing Digital This Week Deep Dive

This week, I attended The Open Group Summit 2026, celebrating 30 years of collaboration, enterprise architecture, and open standards. We heard from outstanding enterprise architects and industry leaders who have helped shape how organizations approach technology and digital transformation. An especially exciting development was the continued momentum behind the Open Digital Transformation Architecture (O-DXA) standard. Our work is progressing through the snapshot and review stages as we move toward our goal of ratification over the coming months. The key message: Enterprise architecture is evolving beyond traditional IT systems to encompass the entire organization — its strategy, people, processes, digital capabilities, and physical operations.
