Forrester has announced that this year’s Enterprise Architecture (EA) Awards are being co-judged by The Open Group.

In selecting the winners of the 2023 Enterprise Architecture Award, the judges from Forrester and The Open Group are looking for stories of Enterprise Architecture excellence resulting in tangible business and customer results. Outcome-driven approaches to EA help firms become future fit — adaptive, creative, and resilient. This year’s winners will embody the six principles of outcome-driven enterprise architecture: valuable, influential, continuous, agile, accountable, and pragmatic.

The Enterprise Architecture Award winner will demonstrate:​

• An EA roadmap that contributes to the future fitness of the technology organization and the entire business
• EA practices that drive change, growth, and differentiation through timely yet strategic decisions
• An EA organization that embodies six principles: accountable, agile, continuous, influential, pragmatic, and valuable
• EA metrics that focus on customer outcomes and experiences

We encourage all companies that have achieved success in outcome-driven EA practices to participate in the Enterprise Architecture Awards. We are looking forward to seeing the leading-edge cases that showcase the very best EA practices.
