The first three COVID waves drove a huge State and government response -- dozens of system upgrades and new systems for epidemiology, population health, contact tracing, testing, trace, isolation, premise registrations for visitor QR code checkins, border protection, waste water monitoring, data correlation and prediction services, public health communication and publications, websites, social, apps, language translation and confirmation services, and more! Now, we are dialling back some systems and services, making others more robust, and resuming stalled projects that were put on hold between 2020-21. Revisiting business case and rationale for upgrading and scaling certain projects.

But the bigger issue for us is the realisation that EA needs to reposition itself from a traditional focus on mapping, guarding and policing technology across the enterprise, to being active in redesigning the way we operate in what has become an accelerated Digital Era.  What does this mean for EA? 

We will be exploring:

• What the traditional conception of EA is based on
• Five reasons why it needs to change 
• Where the opportunities are for architecting the enterprise in the Digital era
• What you need to do, and how you can start.
