Adaptive Enterprise Architecture - by Rubi Kaur (Hardcover)

About the Book

Build adaptive enterprise architecture practices that align business strategy with technology infrastructure in the age of complexity and responsibility.

Book Synopsis

Adaptive Enterprise Architecture by Rubi Kaur is a practical guide for enterprise architects and technology leaders who need architecture to become a strategic, responsive capability rather than a static governance process.

Drawing on decades of experience, this book explains why traditional enterprise architecture practices are no longer enough in a world shaped by AI, complex organizational structures, ESG requirements, technology supply chains and geopolitical risk. The book introduces the FLOW model, a practical approach to building architecture that evolves alongside changing business conditions.

Through reflection prompts, practical experiments, practitioner interviews and real-world examples from financial services, telecommunications, the public sector and consulting, you will learn how to:

- Build adaptive architecture that evolves with business priorities
- Orchestrate across business, technology, people and AI
- Create agile governance that responds to changing conditions
- Reimagine the enterprise architect as a strategic orchestrator
- Navigate complexity, emerging technology and interconnected business risks

Adaptive Enterprise Architecture equips architects to operate in flow, strengthening strategic alignment, organizational adaptability and decision-making as technology and business conditions evolve.

Themes include: enterprise architecture, adaptive architecture, AI strategy, agile governance, technology risk, business transformation
