 Hello, I'm Steve Nunn, President and CEO of the Open Group. Welcome to Toolkit Tuesday, where we highlight the various components and leading experts of the Architects Toolkit, a collated portfolio of the most pertinent technology standards for enterprise architects. During the series, I'll be calling on a number of recognised experts who will bring their particular insights on how to most effectively use the various tools in the Architects Toolkit. We'll have a mix of interviews, panel sessions and pre-recorded presentations along the way. While all standards of the Open Group are designed so they can be adopted independently of one another, the greatest value for an organisation can be derived when they're used in unison. The sum of the parts should be greater than the whole. In the Architects Toolkit, we have collated a portfolio of the most pertinent ones for architects, together, all in one place. For most of these tools, certification from the Open Group is also available, so practitioners can demonstrate that they have the skills required and recruiters can take the guesswork out of the recruitment process, all backed up by our Open Badges programme. Everyone, to Toolkit Tuesday, the second ever Toolkit Tuesday. I hope wherever you are in the world, you are safe and well. My name is Steve Nunn, I'm the President and CEO of the Open Group and it's my great pleasure to welcome you today. I know you're all busy people and giving up your time to attend this is a big deal, so we appreciate it and we hope that you'll get a lot out of it, I'm sure you will. Today, we are going to get a lot of information covered. We're going to examine how organisations and enterprise architecture practices need to adapt in order to keep delivering value. Through the use of some case study examples, we'll show you how the standards, reference papers, tools and techniques in the Open Group Architects Toolkit can be used to fulfil organisational needs in areas such as architecture, IT service management, security, digital transformation, enterprise agility and business value orientation. So that's a lot, as I say, but to guide us through it, I'm delighted to introduce a colleague of mine, Sonia Gonzalez-Paredes, who is the TOCAF Standard Product Manager here at the Open Group. Sonia has 30 years experience as a business and enterprise architecture consultant in different fields and industry verticals. Sonia's professional experience as a project manager includes leading highly effective teams and applying different frameworks, best practices and tools. So welcome to Toolkit Tuesday everyone and in particular welcome Sonia, over to you. Thank you very much Steve for this world welcome and thank you everybody for joining us today to this second episode of our Tuesday Toolkit. Today I'm going to lead you to this second episode which is Enterprise Architecture and the Architects Toolkit Support and Digital Transformation. Through these minutes we are going to cover these topics, new market trends and challenges and especially how the new economy and organisations need to adapt to support that and to continue delivering value, especially how Enterprise Architects needs to adapt to fulfill those challenges and looking into the future, how we can apply the Open Group Architects Toolkit to cover all these new trends and continue driving our business and digital transformation and we're going to give specific examples of how the Architect Toolkit's elements have been used together to provide this value. So starting with the business trends, as you know the latest years have been challenging for the world. We have experimented in a new way of living therefore organisations need to adapt. Virtual work and virtual reality are two of the biggest challenges that are forcing all organisations to adapt to provide this new way of working to employees. That implies of course having sure they have the proper platforms. Data is now more important than ever. Data has always been an asset. How is it more important to provide this seamless access to data and also to protect data from attacks on cyber security and cyber security threats that are now also increasing in these times. The power of social media and social engagement now, the power isn't the hands of the customer. Therefore we need to change our organisation to face this new power of the customer and provide them a new customer experience and also this new virtual reality that we need to address now in this new way of making business. Also other important areas are the way that we are conducting our business. Through the value chain is now changed. It's not only international changes and value chains but also local ones. Mostly because of the pandemic those international value chains are being disrupted so we need to adapt to more local and global production. Also they need to get new financial option to found our business is also increasing. So we have technologies now that crowdfunding and those of the blockchain technologies and more important than ever they need to have a sustainable practice and sustain the environment and therefore in the centre of all that is they need to change our business model to innovate and provide these solutions using the very use of our resources and facing all these new trends. How about enterprise architecture? You know there have been studies like this one that you will see here that you will find in the link below which is how the enterprise architecture practice need to change now to address this new digital era and also post COVID-19 and remote work and remote transaction will continue to be the biggest trends. Therefore architects are key to provide this landscape of organisation and to facilitate the access to cloud technologies in order to really migrate solutions to the cloud we need to be aware on the whole landscape how to integrate the different solutions. Also as we said before they need to provide a very customer experience to map this customer journey to the value stream and business capabilities is quite important. They need to have security architecture and cyber security, to presilence the ability to react faster to the changes is also something that will be a big trend so therefore enterprise architects need to be able to provide big landscape and support the high level managers to take decision, inform decision. The need for agility is also now bigger than ever. The need for EA to support not only agile delivery for software or technology but also to supply enterprise agility as a whole. In the center of that we can say that now enterprise architecture needs to move and make a shift and become something more cross cutting, more immersed into the company instead of being something top down. It's something that should be more into the day-to-day operation working closer with the different areas to help fulfil this need for the organisation to react faster than that. In that regard also the enterprise architect need to change their role to face this new age. You should maintain the strategic focus of course, architects has always been there to support the decision taking but now they should innovate more. They should be more aware of the need to provide value in a faster way to support innovation, to support experimentation, to address these new competitors that are more agile and more aggressive than it should be before. They need to have governance but following a more dynamic approach is also key and also very important digital transformation is much more than just technology that implies also for the whole organisation to be ready to face the new challenges and to be ready to adopt new technologies in a way that will really provide value and beyond all sustainable EA they need to have this socio-economical and environmental feasibility is also key and the fact to present all this big picture and also very important for practitioners not to forget that the same there to be adapt which is actually one of the principles of the TOGAP standard. Therefore the need to which one is our EA maturity is key. There are studies that prove that the more mature the EA capability the more value architects are delivering and also the more rapidly and agile that we are able to sustain these changes. So therefore being able to understand our own reality is key and paramount for the practice. But what about the know and the trends is how to build on the trends how we can really instead of seeing trends like something negative how we can leverage them for example reinventing our business model the operational model more sustainable reliable faster response security and risk are now more important than ever so they need to have sort of trust architecture structure for example is key they need to have this new digital frontier for innovation so now the digital products are the ones that are more trendy so we need to be able to provide an innovate and not only provide digital products but also the digital platform to sustain them. The business of technology is now also increasing so it's not anymore about business in IT but it's the whole organization that wants and needs to change. Everything is in the cloud now they need to have this distribution is key the digital products are also sustained for that this global connectivity which is even beyond frontiers and is becoming international and regional. Data has always been important but now they will have artificial intelligence and data scientists and machine data is also important and to also understand and profiling our customers now the customer is the center everything the power of the customer and the need to provide this digital experience and digital reality in a consistent way is also very important so we need to be able to respond to all these new trends so in order to do that we can see something like this some kind of like a reference architecture and reference models in which of top we need to have these trends that we have talked before and we need to have this business model transformation started with the strategy of course with being aware of the voice of the customer customer is at the center customer desire the outside in view is not anymore about what my company wants but what my customer wants to be able to define prototypes and product solutions faster and to learn rapidly from them the ability to provide this digital platform this digital access and this business on operational backbone and of course all these need to be sustained by the infrastructure therefore the importance of providing this digital platform so things like data intelligence that I have mentioned before sustainability, digital technologies, cloud technology trends automation, robotics, artificial intelligence are things that need to be immersed in there but more important than the technology is how we can prepare the organization for this so organizational structure, shift is important and the change management of the organization is also key and also cross-coding all that that we have mentioned before we can never forget security risk management which is key and they need to be protected against cyber crime that can be pretty disruptive so this is an idea how we can provide this general landscape to build on the trends that we have mentioned before so what about the enterprise architects toolkit are saying here is the right tool for the right job and like Steve said at the beginning the importance of this toolkit is not only the individual tool but how they can leverage each other and be more powerful when they are used together so in this toolkit we have models and guides like for example the open footprint data model and also the set of models that you will find in the SAP TOGAP series guys which is a very rich set of ecosystem surrounding the TOGAP standard in which you will have guidance to fulfill different topics open standards on frameworks of course like the TOGAP standard, the open process automation and the open agile architecture which is supporting along with the TOGAP standard the need for agility reference architectures are important to pursue reuse and a more better use of the resources so we have the IT for IT reference architecture the healthcare, the commercial aviation the phase technical standard and the source of reference architecture all of them are there for you to use and finally we also have the bodies of knowledge and tools like the digital practitioner body of knowledge which is the set of knowledge and practices that you could use to scale your practice and your transformation to address the new digital change open fair knowledge is also there and the risk analysis tools that will also fulfill the need to have this security and risk analysis tools and above all that we know that things like the TOGAP standard is also now supporting new technology trends adoption using all these enterprise toolkit so we are going to go very briefly over the different bodies of knowledge of course the TOGAP standard I'm sure more you are very familiar with the TOGAP ADM which is a trainer of the open group the TOGAP standard continue to be a proving enterprise architecture methodology supporting enterprise architecture but it's going beyond that now because now it's changing it's also evolving like everything that needs to evolve to now support business and not only that but also business and digital transformation therefore the new vision for the TOGAP standard is not only to hold the general practice that we find in TOGAP 9.2 which is the fundamental content like the ADM, the tools and techniques the content framework but also providing more specific guidance to support specific topics like for example different architecture styles like cloud, agile support for architecture areas like more support for technology architecture data and information architecture and business architecture the need for the standard to be used with other frameworks like really security reference models and cloud models specific verticals like for example in banking and industry in the government and of course the need to have practical application at the end of the presentation we are going to show some specific examples of the use of the TOGAP standard and the toolkit in specific use cases it's also have the open agile architecture which was released last year and it's going deeper into the agile space it has the product center having this value driven approach and having the customer experience on top a product value oriented view a new operational and business model and of course the need to have the proper software and hardware immersed into the organizational change by adopting the AEA the OEA organization will address agile and digital capabilities in a continuous and dynamic way I invite you to take a look of the standard which is published in our open group library and take a look at all these excellent set of practices that are also based on real locations and you should be asking how this relates with the TOGAP standard the two of them are like everything in the toolkit meant to be used together and leverage each other so we have in one hand the TOGAP standard which is fulfilling the general practice and we have the OEA which is going deeper into the agile space effective collaboration team also in view product oriented and value oriented how to fit an organizational agile change to support digital transformation and in the middle in the intersection we have both of them working to support agile EA delivery and important the agile enterprise so the two standards are meant to inform and leverage each other and that has part of the work that is ongoing right now into the architecto forum and also into the board has delivered the OEA it's also work in progress to provide more guidance in this space how about digital? as you know they are different dimension for the digital space and you will find a lot of this also in the DP book we need to provide digitization which is information and digital form but also to improve your processes to really come into a digitalization process and finally the digital transformation which is the change across the whole company which is beyond technology and also implies a cultural change in a way of working and so it's important to keep this distinction and you will find a lot of guidance in relation to this also in the DP book archimage like you also know it's the de facto modeling language for interpreter also meant to be used along with the TOGAP standard there is a very guidance how to use the two standard together in our library and there's more coming now so you will see here how archimage has been used in several real case applications to provide enterprise architectural models that will support communication with different stakeholders and also to understand the landscape of your organization in a more effective way the IT4IT reference architecture meant to provide the business of IT and now it's going deeper because in our snapshot that you will find our library you will find out they're supporting now the concept of the digital product so the whole value change which is based on a strategy to portfolio requirement to deploy request to fulfill and detect to correct is now focused in the digital product which is the way that it is explored and conceived and defined to innovate all the way how it is deployed and developed following a continuous delivery process and the approach how it can be a service to the customer with the proper customer service and support and then how it can be operational in a continuous detect to correct approach and continuous delivery value you will find also the snapshot in our library and we invite you to also use it and comment in relation with the value of this valuable reference architecture so trust like we've mentioned there is also an ongoing project into the security architecture along with the architecture forum to build this sort of trust architecture which is also going to be key especially now that we mentioned at the beginning the cyber threats and cyber security is going more and more important especially now that we have the virtuality has the new way of living also very important is how all these portfolio of standard are meant to be used together for a long term vision the talk of standard should be in the center of everything but this is showing that the different standards are meant to be used together to integrate for example the talk of standard is addressing now micro service architecture there's guidance new guidance coming in that space the one that I just mentioned so trust architecture the IT for IT reference architecture following the digital product is also work in progress to work along with the talk of standard and there are also actually white papers library around that the archimage modeling language the DP book which is also guidance how to use the DP book along with the talk of standard guidance that will be coming soon and of course like I explained before how the talk of standard can be used along with the open model architecture standards and also between the different standard there is also a lot of integration and guidance how they can leverage each other we have seen this before but now more important is how we can position the different elements the different standards into this how for example the DP book can support digital transformation how the OAA can support a new business model how security can of course support security and sort of trust and cyber crime how the talk of standard can hold landscape but at the same time provide this new business strategy and way of working and in order to do that we are going to provide examples real cases some of them provided by our members you will find some of these examples in our library some others are in ours or in plenaries that we have we also have in our download for example we have a specific example in the steel industry the EA for manufacturer in theta steel this is a document that you will find in our library this is a very good example how the archimage standard and enterprise data have been used to improve the business process for the manufacturing and producing of steel in this industry through Europe also we have a week which is in the aircraft manufacturing industry they have built a whole digital transformation landscape using the talk of an archimage standard to provide new digital offering and use of business architecture and business model but being sure that they are supported properly by the different digital platform in shell we have this in one of our plenaries last year the talk of standard to agile development at shell this is a very good example how the talk of standard and also the archimage model in the station can be used along with agile in this specific example we understand how shell has used an approach to have microservice or micro cycles of the talk of ADM to fulfill a digital space how the talk of standard ADM can be used in an agile pattern the other one is a work along with the TDC and Theta consultancy services also a white paper that you will find in our library the hybrid enterprise architectural practice for the by model delivery which is an adaptation of the talk of ADM you will find in this interesting white paper how these two industries and enterprise work together to provide an agile approach following this balance between having an agile delivery but keeping the right governance across the different landscape and having the proper strategy alignment this is a very interesting white paper as well we also have other examples for example in OXO in Mexico they use the company called FENSA in the retail industry they use the ENREA approach to start building their practice and to provide this new architecture for improving their retail operations in Mexico we also have another very important reference model in the industry space the industry reference architecture which is providing a set of building blocks how to improve the industry as a whole following a digital transformation and for the industry also based in the talk of standard reference models in banking there are several samples we have EA and talk of in different regions like for example in Latin America in which has been used to support no IT governance framework for the banking also there are examples in the insurance free information and data models based on Archimedes and talk of they have been used and as you may know by and the banking industry architecture network which is fully mobile using the Archimedes model in notation buying industry also you will find several examples in our website in our library about how the talk of standard can support the implementation of the buy and reference model for banking and following also the industry pattern also in AVID they have also used the talk of standard the Archimedes standard and the IT for IT to provide these tools for a new governance model so what they have done is they put this new digital transformation big project through the whole company using the talk of ADM as have the general model to support governance and the general development process and they use the IT for IT for reference architecture following the value chain and they use the Archimedes model to actually deliver in the digital transformation so this is a very good example of the three standard used together so these examples are in the in different industries but we also have very important examples in governments for example this important initiative the built on road initiative which is the information exchange regional international commerce in Asia this is a big one and this is actually a model how to improve communication commercial interchange and this is based on data reference model business and data reference model based also use the talk of standard and EA and like I said is covering all the region in Asia to facilitate this interchange and commercial also we have other examples like Fujitsu which is provided use the IT for IT the talk of standard and the IT for IT reference architecture to provide the IT delivery model for the public transportation in the UK and also they have delivery service architecture and cloud architectures using both standard which is again a specific example in the government also you may have heard about that the in EA which is a big reference architecture project in the India government they are based on talk of approach and talk of reference models and they are building a huge reference which is covered the whole India and different regions in India and a specific example of talk of application you will also find several examples in our website the European interoperability reference architecture is also based on Archimade it's a set of building blocks they are also you will find our site and this is supporting interchange of information for the government in Europe also the Netherlands tax and customer administration they have a talk of standard to provide and deliver a set of models connecting their business and their processes with the underlying technology platforms. We have also another example in Uruguay the AGESIC AGESIC agency they have built a new e-government framework and set of reference models based on the talk and finally we have the UK Ministry of Defense Ernest and John Hanke work and implemented a series of reference and service models also based on the talk of standard so this is some of the examples so finally our vision is to keep this ongoing evolution not only for the talk of we are preparing a new release trying to address this continuation through guidance into these new trends but also to become the digital first enterprise which is our main objecting now mostly which is our vision and with that thank you for your attention I think we may have some time for some Q&A and before besides that you will find a lot of information on our website the Architects Toolkit which you will find all these in which we are able to find all these examples that we have shown today. Back to you now Steve. Thank you Sonia, thank you that's a lot of material covered in a short time and for those of you wondering yes the fact that you've registered means that you'll get access to this presentation in fact the whole of this episode of Toolkit Tuesday and you'll be notified when it's available so you can rewatch it or watch the bits that you missed so we're very short on time before the end of the session Sonia Sogongen just limit us to one question you've talked about the value of the standards and bodies of knowledge best practices etc for business transformation digital transformation whatever you might be working on in your organization but obviously like any tool you have to know how to use it for it to really have the value to realize that value so that means people need to be taught how to use it or they need guidance on how to use it so is that kind of guidance available? Actually yes we have already available some of these guidance in our library for the different standards some of the documents that I mentioned for example the ones for security how to use the standards together IT for IT Togoff and Archimage we can find that guidance in our website also we have a lot of set of very good guys in the space of business architecture and also information architecture there are other topics like digital agile technology trends which is guided that is coming so be following continue following our website because we are planning to release a very good set of guides around these topics as well Great okay thank you very much so yeah the answer for a lot of this is go to the open group library which was the the topic for our first toolkit Tuesday a couple of weeks ago so we do have to move on and realize there are some other questions that people are starting to have we'll do our best to get those answered if you supplied your details to us when you registered which I think you did but in the meantime we do have to move on we promise people 30 minutes and we have to stick to that so a warm thank you from everyone Sonia for leading us through that and as I say there's a lot of information there for people to go through and some useful guidance and links so do take the time to do that when when we make that available to you so meanwhile thank you very much Sonia okay thank you thank you everybody for joining have a good day bye take care Hi everyone when I first introduced toolkit Tuesday one of the things I said we would feature from time to time is a group of experts and the concept here is that we might call on an expert in a particular area to perhaps expand on the definition of a term or put it in context perhaps or perhaps talk about a concept that is the subject of the day or perhaps just talk in more detail about a particular tool in the toolkit so today I'd just like to put some faces to names on the initial set of experts that you can expect to see in the coming weeks and they are Terry Blevins from Enterprise wise LLC Chris Frost from Fujitsu Paul Homan from IBM and my colleagues at the open group Chris Ford and Andrew Josie so expect to hear from them in the coming weeks and they will bring their expert opinions to bear and we look forward to them joining toolkit Tuesday let's get back to the show so folks thank you for joining us today as I said we've got some experts next time on toolkit Tuesday we'll be hearing from one of them Chris Ford he is going to talk about the future of architects business innovation and digital transformation so that's August 31 two weeks from today please join us then for toolkit Tuesday episode 3 where the majority of the time will be taken up by Chris but we'll have some other bits for you as well so please register we hope to see you soon until then be safe and well wherever you are in the world I'm Steve Nunn thank you for joining toolkit Tuesday
