Entreprise Architecture

The MIT Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR), led by Peter Weill and Stephanie Woerner, recently released a major update to its renowned digital business model framework. Based on an analysis of 2,378 companies studied between 2013 and 2025, this new framework is no longer “digital”: it is AI-native. It is based on two simple axes: action along the value chain (assisting vs. representing the customer) and business execution (structured vs. adaptive), which defin

Today, the average large enterprise runs 2,191 applications and has no idea what half of them do (Torii, 2026). Forty-eight percent of enterprise applications are unmanaged (Productiv, 2024). Shadow IT accounts for between 30% and 40% of IT spending (Gartner). This is not a governance crisis. It is a strategic opportunity that few CIOs have yet seized. The application portfolio: the blind spot of IT performance For years, the priority was delivery. Delivering projects, deploy

In 2025, 78% of enterprise architects considered AI to be their top strategic priority. A year later, it is no longer a priority. Welcome to the era of learning architecture. Traditional enterprise architecture is dead. Long live intelligent architecture. In 2026, organizations are adopting AI-driven architectures capable of adapting, learning, and evolving autonomously. Next-generation EA platforms, including that of our partner Ardoq, now natively integrate predictive analy

Enterprise Architecture is a common language that enables an organization to see itself as it is, decide what it wants to become, and measure every step of its transformation. At Gabriel Greenfield, we have built the Meridian method around enterprise architecture. Our partnerships with Ardoq and Boldo are the practical embodiment of this approach. Background: Why enterprise architecture is becoming strategic again Too many transformation programs still operate in a state of p

An Enterprise Architecture tool for a Digital Transformation roadmap: feedback from Ardoq A few months ago, we shared our thoughts on the new challenge that Digital Transformation represents for Enterprise Architecture. We highlighted the new challenges of an agile and collaborative approach to enterprise architecture in order to manage the dual alignment of changing and unpredictable developments in business models and operations on the one hand, and technological innovation

Today, the cloud and the implementation of DevOps practices are at the forefront of key technologies for digital transformation. But how can an enterprise architecture approach be adapted to the current challenge of controlled adoption of the cloud model? How can enterprise architecture assets be enriched and used to better respond to the challenges of digital transformation? We have identified the new challenges of an agile and collaborative Enterprise Architecture practice
