Make transformations fast, not furious with LeanIX - The hidden power of Enterprise Architecture

The business landscape has never been more dynamic. Opportunities and challenges emerge at an unprecedented pace, and companies must respond swiftly if they want to stay competitive. Regardless of the scale, all transformations require time, effort, and resources.

However, according to McKinsey & Company, 70% of digital transformations fail. But why is this the case?

• Uncover the most common reasons why business transformations fail and understand how Enterprise Architecture can help ensure success.
• Get a practical demonstration of how LeanIX can be leveraged to document, visualize, analyze, and improve the architectural landscape. In doing so, you'll see how it fosters alignment between IT and Business objectives and accelerates transformation initiatives.
