Questions to ponder...

Does your Enterprise recognise that people working towards the top of the Transformation stack are more Architects than Engineers?

Does your Enterprise recognise that people working towards the bottom of the Transformation stack are more Engineers than Architects?

If not, does this create any problems?

Does this create any opportunities for education?

Considering each phase of Transformation, do people who work there think of themselves primarily as Architects or Engineers or a mixture?

Which phase of Transformation do you primarily work in?

Do you consider yourself to be primarily an Architect or Engineer or a mixture?

Are the Architecture and Engineering disciplines recognised in your Enterprise?

Are they working in harmony or not?

If not, what will you do to increase the harmony?
