Enabling rapid digital transformation

Abstract

This chapter introduces several methodologies to rapid digital transformation, including Segregated Business Services Design, based on pre-emptive identification and definition of eventually possible digital interfaces throughout the enterprise’s business ecosystem. Adopted as a pattern-based modelling style from the get-go, this does not make the EA development heavier, but it makes the enterprise intrinsically ready for rapid changes, such as client-facing service digitalization, digital outsourcing, digital consolidation of internal services, digital interaction with suppliers, and generally digital-oriented business model change.
