Designing Enterprise Architect Talent Pipeline For DXC
Learn how StackRoute’s Architect Competency Development Program helped DXC upskill its enterprise architects to face the complex business landscape.
The Problem
Incorporating Learning Intervention Structure
As a leading IT solutions provider, DXC Technology faced the challenge of upskilling its practicing architects to meet the evolving demands of digital transformation. Enterprise architects must transition from their traditional roles to become strategic enablers capable of designing evolving enterprise architecture.
A critical requirement was an effective learning initiative that would not only enhance technical expertise but also empower professionals to clearly communicate the strategic value of enterprise architecture (EA).
The Solution
A custom-designed mentor-led sessions to foster EA Strategic Mindset
StackRoute crafted a five-month learning program specifically designed to meet the needs of DXC’s enterprise architects. The program was structured into three essential phases: EA Strategic Mindset, EA Processes, and Moving from "T" to "X."
As a holistic approach, our program enabled participants to manage entire systems architecture, business processes, and IT infrastructure, simplifying digital transformation challenges. As a comprehensive program, it helped lead the pathway for
- Enterprise Architects transition from tech theorists and model creators to becoming practical communicators and skilled engineers who connect tech with business and
- From enforcers to coaches leading their teams for world-class delivery across projects
