EA Modernization in the Age of Digital Disruption [Webcast]
In summer 2019 I participated in a panel discussion about EA Modernization, hosted by Mega:
“Listen in as EA-industry veteran John Varricchio, MEGA Chief Strategy Officer Dan Hebda, and KPMG Enterprise Architecture practice leader Roland Woldt, discuss strategies and real-world examples of how EA can become a digital advisor to the business.”
During the conversation we talked about the role of EA and its perceived value in today’s digital transformations, the need of Business and IT alignment, as well as how EA enables faster Agile delivery. It became clear that an Modernization of EA in organizations needs to be more than just doing the same things using different terms.
Overall, it was a very good experience talking with these senior executives, as well as meeting the nice folks at Mega. Have a look and listen in on the webcase below (or watch it on YouTube).
Roland Woldt is a well-rounded executive with 25+ years of Business Transformation consulting and software development/system implementation experience, in addition to leadership positions within the German Armed Forces (11 years).
He has worked as Team Lead, Engagement/Program Manager, and Enterprise/Solution Architect for many projects. Within these projects, he was responsible for the full project life cycle, from shaping a solution and selling it, to setting up a methodological approach through design, implementation, and testing, up to the rollout of solutions.
In addition to this, Roland has managed consulting offerings during their lifecycle from the definition, delivery to update, and had revenue responsibility for them.
Roland has had many roles: VP of Global Consulting at iGrafx, Head of Software AG’s Global Process Mining CoE, Director in KPMG’s Advisory (running the EA offering for the US firm), and other leadership positions at Software AG/IDS Scheer and Accenture. Before that, he served as an active-duty and reserve officer in the German Armed Forces.
