COVID-19 is spreading at fast speed, and time is of the essence to share, coordinate, and take actions to mitigate pandemic propagation. Current centralized database solutions solve part of the problem, but require an overarching and time-consuming coordination between multiple government and health authorities, including the entire chain of decision makers to collect test data, analyze/diagnostic, register, monitor, and enforce regulations and policies to isolate and monitor COVID-19 cases. Blockchain DLT technology solves the coordination challenges of broken healthcare centralized data lake silos, creating an open, trusted, immutable, and decentralized data architecture framework to speed up a multi-party, end-to-end COVID-19 data-sharing coordination process, while preserving patients’ data privacy.

This Executive Update series examines the extent that organizations are using or planning to use CX practices and technologies, the status of implementing CX management, the establishment of dedicated enterprise CX groups, and the reason such groups oversee CX initiatives. Here in Part IX, we examine findings pertaining to several enterprise CX adoption trends.

COVID-19 has already had a massive impact on all our lives and is on track to continue doing so for some time. In this situation, technology is playing an increasing role in moving life and business forward. This will all have long-term, and potentially positive, impacts on society and how we run our lives.

A project can reconfigure the arrangement of distributed resources, human or otherwise, at any point in the lifecycle of the project, especially with the help of enterprise architecture (EA) to substantially rethink project technology and even organizational approaches. Projects can and should reinvent themselves.

We all are now experiencing a major unprecedented and unexpected crisis caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The situation we’re facing now is unseen previously, unanticipated, and unimaginable. Any help that we can enlist to emerge from this unprecedented crisis — and other potential crises we may encounter in the future — is worth pursuing. In this Advisor, let’s explore how autonomous technology can be employed in key areas to control and manage emergencies we face now.

In Part 2 of this on-demand webinar, series Dr. Laurel Austin explores why people make decisions contrary to data and experts’ advice and how organizations can improve their decision-making as they are faced with tough business decisions, whether pertaining to layoffs, abrupt changes in strategies and plans, or issuing guidelines related to coronavirus concerns.

Companies around the globe are quickly moving to a fully distributed model, many without the training and preparation needed to ensure their teams achieve and sustain success. Led by Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant John Heintz, these four virtual workshops will help your organization boost its distributed software team performance, enabling your software teams to survive and thrive in dispersed environments.

This Executive Update sets out a roadmap to help companies understand what becoming a digital company means for them and how a digital equilibrium can be achieved, based on experience with traditional, non-digital businesses.

Just as my trainer says in the gym, “Use it or lose it!” the same can be true of enterprise agility in the digital era. What are the organizational exercises — the squats and the pushups for an enterprise — that make a difference? Some of these, like adopting a new exercise regime, could be quite radical. Choosing new ways of working, changing organizational precepts, and focusing on continuous improvement could be some of the fundamental changes.

I don’t have to tell you about the impact of the coronavirus — you are feeling it. While we are all negatively affected personally, businesses are experiencing a spectrum of effects. Some are seeing an explosion of their e-commerce activities. Others are watching their business collapse as activities at all points in their supply chain slow down. Much has been written about dealing with explosive growth, so let’s focus on the downside case. This is where organizations show their true character.

This Executive Update provides an overview of the essential role business architecture plays in defining, designing, implementing, and managing business ecosystems, along with examples of where this concept is emerging in practice.

This Advisor explores two key ways in which the concept of business design can help bolster artificial intelligence (AI): by improving the customer experience and by identifying and protecting the data that powers AI.

The coronavirus outbreak is forcing executives, managers, policy makers, and the rank-and-file within organizations worldwide to quickly assess the risks they face and make business- and life-impacting decisions. In Part 1 of this 2-part webinar series, Dr. Laurel Austin reviews how we manage risk, and practices we need to employ to help us overcome common errors in how people perceive, assess, and react to risks they face.

Our role as software architects is, first and foremost, to stay in our lane; we are not epidemiologists and should not share our opinions about the right course of action for anyone other than ourselves. The resulting, emergent, unpredictable result of these millions of decisions will shape our future for a long time to come.

In this edition of The Cutter Edge, we address the trends in Cybersecurity that will impact the year ahead, how autonomous systems are at a tipping point with the convergence of new technologies, what you can do to address and manage the risks inherent in a crisis, and more!

As the novel coronavirus contagion rages, governments and commercial enterprises are utilizing blockchain to better manage the disease and mitigate its impact. This Advisor explores how the pandemic is driving the use of blockchain technology across the globe.

Working agreements establish the ground rules needed to encourage acceptable behavior, create depend­ability, and foster consistency in day-to-day work. They also signal the intent of the individual employees to work together as a team.

With announcements on two regulations, one addressing the certification of unmanned aircraft and the other the certification of carriers using drones for delivery, the FAA revealed the regulatory framework that accom­modates commercial package delivery by drones.

My studies of enterprise architecture practices in multiple diverse organizations have identified several consistent patterns describing the size and structure of architecture functions that companies tend to find optimal for their needs. As we explore in this Advisor, we can use these empirically observed generalities to synthesize a simple, heuristic three-step approach for designing organization-specific architecture functions.
