Digital Practitioners Work Group
The Digital Practitioners Work Group held it inaugural face-to-face meeting on Wednesday, October 25, 2017. The meeting was attended by 20 people.
Objective of Meeting
The principal objectives of this meeting were to:
- Present a report on objectives and progress to date, particularly for members who had not previously been involved
- Begin initial development of a roadmap of deliverables
- Introduce how we will develop the brand and identity for the Work Group
Summary
Group discussions focused on the creation of a roadmap, considering such issues as:
- How do we define market segments?
- How do we define the characteristics of a digital professional?
A key insight, which was also reinforced by the plenary presentations, was that Digital Transformation is neither IT- or Business-led, but instead is a reaction of a fundamental shift in markets toward individualized experiences � in essence, Digital Transformation is customer-led.
Loren Baynes presented plans for developing brand identity and value messages that will flow into marketing materials, website, etc.
Mats Gejnevall gave a brief overview of ongoing work in the Architecture Forum to provide guidance in the TOGAF® context on Digital Transformation for application architecture.
Outputs
Detailed meeting minutes are available to Open Group members .
Next Steps
The group will continue its current operational tempo of virtual meetings every two weeks, and will plan a two-day session at the San Diego event.
