Summary

Digital technology is transforming markets. Companies engaging in markets undergoing transformation are finding that their traditional products — and their product-centric mindset — no longer fulfill customer needs.

Enterprise architecture (EA) is the bridge between customer understanding, digital products, and digital operational excellence — but few firms know how to build this bridge. This report describes the strategic approach that 2014 EA Award winner Australia Post — a traditional firm reinventing itself in the face of changing markets — took to architecting its digital transformation. EA professionals in established firms should apply this approach to guide their own firm's transformation.
