7. Business Architecture Guild (Scotland)
– Business Architecture in the Digital Economy
Business Environment (External)
• Provides massive insight Internally & Externally
• Can provide massive distortions if not applied in context (e.g. LEGO)
• Regulatory implications
• Provides low ops costs for “codifiable” activities
• Huge implications of future of workforce
• Allows scaling & agility (esp for start-ups & innovation)
• Prone to outages like any other infrastructure (e.g. AWS)
• Doesn’t change the fact that risk can’t be outsourced
• Massive disruption to marketing (“segment size of 1”)
• Provides platform for instant comms broadcasts (e.g. DJT, Sports, etc)
• Significant impact on mental health
• Personal Information challenges (e.g. Cambridge Analytica, GDPR)
• Provides transaction authenticity (e.g. Currency, Democracy)
• Potentially large amount of data storage and hence electricity (e.g. Blockchain Ireland)
• Heat dissipation challenges (e.g. Stornaway Submerged Data Centre)
