When you have been contemplating a nomination for this 12 months’s Forrester international Expertise Awards — together with the Enterprise Structure Award introduced in partnership with The Open Group — the submission deadline has been prolonged to Tuesday, June 2.
Right here’s the rationale I’m genuinely enthusiastic about this 12 months’s EA entries (and why a brief extension issues): the middle of gravity in enterprise structure is shifting from documentation to resolution velocity.
For years, the constant grievance about structure wasn’t “architects discovered points.” Groups get points from linters, safety scanners, and peer assessment each day. The grievance was uncertainty and delay — designs disappearing right into a queue with no predictable turnaround. That unpredictability turns governance into friction, even when the intent is sound.
What’s altering is the sensible potential for structure groups to ship quick first-pass suggestions — and to do it in methods which are simpler to undertake, simpler to iterate, and simpler to measure. In different phrases: much less ceremony, extra throughput, higher outcomes.
That’s precisely the type of story the EA Awards are supposed to floor: EA that’s visibly bettering danger administration, price effectivity, expertise, and outcomes — not EA as “framework compliance.”
In case your EA workforce has a concrete, numbers-backed instance of the way you’ve improved supply, lowered danger, accelerated modernization, or enabled smarter use of information/AI, I’d encourage you to submit.
