How Enterprise Architects can get more support for technology led innovation
Enterprise Architects are increasingly vital as guides for technology-led innovation, but they often struggle with obstacles like siloed teams, misaligned priorities, outdated governance, and unclear strategic value. The blog outlines six core challenges—stakeholder engagement, tool selection, IT-business integration, security compliance, operational balance, and sustaining innovation—and offers a proactive roadmap: embrace a “fail fast, learn fast” mindset; align product roadmaps with enterprise architecture; build shared, modular platforms; and adopt agile governance supported by orchestration tooling.

How to fast-track prototypes to production
Organizations can build prototypes quickly, but turning those early experiments into reliable, production-ready solutions is where most teams stall. This article breaks down the core practices for fast-tracking prototypes to production—from defining success upfront and strengthening data foundations to applying agile methods with governance guardrails; so, your POCs don’t die but scale into real business impact.
IT Is Too Slow to Innovate: Why the Real Problem Isn’t Speed
IT doesn’t have a speed problem—it has a complexity problem. Scott Sandschafer shares how CIOs can break through the clutter with innovation sandboxes and automated orchestration that finally enable fast, compliant innovation.
From AI Pilots to AI Products: Why So Many AI Pilots Stall
Most AI pilots “work”… until they have to work with everything else. The model looks great in a notebook; then it collides with data quality, access controls, identity, environments, approvals, SLAs, and somebody’s quarter-end release freeze. This is the POC graveyard: where clever prototypes go to wait for a platform that never arrives, or for…
Implementing cloud guardrails without slowing down delivery – Part 2
Implementing cloud guardrails requires a combination of process changes and enabling technology. Here are some best practices to ensure your guardrails truly empower teams rather than hinder them.
Implementing cloud guardrails without slowing down delivery – Part 1
Summary Enterprises can build cloud platforms quickly and safely by embedding automated “guardrails” – predefined security, compliance, and governance checks – into every step of cloud development. This approach removes manual bottlenecks and ensures teams move fast without breaking rules. By treating policies as code and using self-service frameworks with built-in safeguards, organizations accelerate delivery…
