In this episode of Transformational Blueprints, we interview Petra in’t Veld-Brown, an expert in strategic business transformation and enterprise architecture.
With over 30 years of experience, Petra shares her journey and insights into effectively integrating business change delivery with architecture.
The conversation covers the evolving role of architects from technical experts to enablers of organisational change, the importance of transparency and clear communication, and how architects can influence business decisions without being perceived as blockers. Petra also discusses how can architects can ensure accountability for architecture outcomes without stepping into operational decision-making?
