The Evolution of Business Architecture in Business Strategy

Nilesh Makan, Lead Business Architect at Old Mutual, will explore the critical need for a holistic, systems-level view of the enterprise in today's complex and unpredictable world.

As organisations face increasing complexity, traditional siloed problem-solving is no longer effective. In this session, Nilesh will discuss how Business Architecture serves as a practical lens for navigating this complexity, closing the gap between good intentions and real-world outcomes.

In his presentation, Nilesh discusses:

• Navigating Complexity: Moving beyond yesterday's siloed thinking in an increasingly incomprehensible world.

• The Systems-Level View: Connecting the dots across functions and surfacing hidden organisational dependencies.

• Linking Strategy to Execution: Using Business Architecture as a practical tool rather than just a theoretical framework exercise.

• Clarity as an Advantage: Helping leaders make sense of complexity to deliver sustainable change.
