    Feb 4 2026
    Welcome to a new episode of Digital Transformation Architect, where Dr. Darren dives deep into the powerful combination of the Open Digital Transformation Architecture (ODSA) and the FORGE methodology. Together, these frameworks provide a cohesive approach to digital transformation, addressing common organizational challenges and enhancing execution. Get ready to rethink how you capture and utilize architecture within your organization! ## Key Takeaways: - **Holistic View**: ODSA allows for a comprehensive analysis across five domains: strategic, organizational, process, digital, and physical. - **Common Taxonomy**: Merging ODSA with the FORGE methodology ensures clarity and reduces fragmentation in documentation. - **Continuous Improvement**: This approach shifts the perspective from architecture as merely documentation to an ongoing execution model. - **Iterative Process**: The FORGE methodology—Find, Observe, Reconcile, Ground, Enhance—encourages an iterative approach for sustainable results. - **Enhanced Capabilities**: Use the enhance phase to extend your current architecture with new processes, skills, or technologies. ## Chapters: - 00:00 - Introduction to Digital Transformation Architect - 01:15 - Overview of ODSA Framework - 03:45 - Introduction to the FORGE Methodology - 06:30 - The Importance of Common Taxonomy - 09:00 - Continuous Improvement and Execution - 12:15 - Deep Dive: The FORGE Process Explained - 15:00 - Conclusion and Next Steps for Implementation
