Course goals
- have an understanding of what Digital Transformation is, the forces that drive Digital Transformation and which elements are important for a successful transformation
- know what an Operating Model Canvas (OMC) is, and be able to apply it in a real life situation
- know what the Business Activity Model (BAM), and be able to apply it in a real life situation
- know about the main frameworks, modelling techniques and analysis techniques for Enterprise Architecture, and be able to effectively use them to analyze a real organization.
- be able to report about an Enterprise Architecture and perform an analysis if the Enterprise Architecture is fit for Digital Transformation
- be able to explain the alignment between Business and IT, related to Enterprise Architecture and Digital Transformation.
- assignments (50% of the final mark)
- exam at the end of the course (50%)
To qualify for a repair of the final result the mark needs to be at least a 4, or “AANV”.
Content
Digital transformation is about gaining a competitive advantage by implementing new information technology.
This transformation process is often a challenge for an organization.
Old legacy systems, not IT Savy enough, lack of understanding the enterprise architecture, are just a few reasons why digital transformation is difficult.
In the DTA course we will discuss different strategies for digital transformation and the relation with enterprise architecture.
Enterprise architecture itself will be discussed to give an understanding of the different models used, and as a preparation for the assignment.
In the assignment parts of the enterprise architecture of an organization will be described and analyzed.
The outcome of this analysis will be discussed in the contact of digital transformation.
Course form
Lectures, tutorials, assignments.
Lectures and tutorials will be mixed. The time available will partly be used for discussing literature, and partly be used for discussing the assignment.
Also if possible some discussions will take place in a Future Lecture Space (depending on availability of the FSL rooms).
Assignment: in teams of 2 or 3 students a real life organization will be described and analyzed in the context of digital transformation.
Since the assignment can't be fulfilled without the proper training in the methods and tools it is required to be present during the lectures and tutorials.
