HISTORY BEHIND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
This work is in part derived from material developed by Forrester Analyst Charles Betz between 2014 and 2017 for use in teaching in the Graduate Programs in Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, for SEIS 660 (IT Infrastructure Management), later replaced by SEIS 664 (Information Technology Delivery). Graduate Programs in Software at University of St. Thomas offers Masters’ degrees in Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, and Software Management. It is the largest program of its kind in the US and emphasizes rigorous, realistic preparation of practitioners. No suitable collegiate texts were available providing comprehensive survey coverage of the Digital/Lean/Agile transition and its impacts on IT management generally, so this material was developed collaboratively, incrementally, and iteratively via an open Github project over the course of three years.

TESTIMONIALS OF THE TRAINER
Tania Loughran Lead Business Analyst Colt Technology Services UK
Kiran was a friendly and knowledgeable trainer who brought lots of experience to our TOGAF practitioner training, which helped with achieving accreditation and gaining good background information on the course, thanks!
Bhargava Raju Associate Consultant Cognizant Hyderabad
Kiran Divakaran has immense experience in the areas of architecture his lectures speak volumes of that and is adept in understanding the psyche of the trainee and greatly can acclimatize it to trainee needs. He creates an astounding environment for learning. He has been instrumental in shaping me to be an aspiring architect given a short span of time. He is one of the persons with whom I would like to have an association with. The best part of the course was the details on the ADM, ADM guidelines and techniques, architecture, content Metamodel and enterprise continuum. Some great candid examples were used in understanding these concepts which I believe will establish me as an accomplished architect. The courseware was rich in articulating the most abstract concepts in an easy to understand way.
Girish Adat Senior Software Architect SunTec Trivandrum
The training was supported by the solid professional background of Kiran. All the examples and explanations were also showing the same. Unlike a regular “teaching” oriented usual training we can get from anywhere, the knowledge of an enterprise architect is worthy during the sessions. He has got a satisfying answer for any of our questions. The answers show his solid knowledge and experience for more than a decade.
Padmanabhan S Senior Architect SunTec Trivandrum
“…the knowledge of a traveller exceeds that which is got by reading”. In every way, this is true for sessions by Kiran; which proves how a normal theory ‘class room’ is dierent from we having a ‘discussion’ with an Enterprise Architect (by profession) with a solid 2 decades eld experience. Power packed by his experience; the way he delivers the subject is inspiring and a great value add to us. He handles the sessions excellently both professionally and personally. All the best Kiran!
Shyam Popuri Senior Solution Architect WasteManagement Inc Texas
Kiran is an excellent speaker and trainer. He articulates the content very well for the students to understand. He is very patient, goes out of his way to explain various real-life business scenario wherever possible. He makes sure that his students are well trained and satised with his answers. The best part of TOGAF course was the details on the ADM, ADM guidelines and techniques, Content meta-model and Enterprise Continuum. He made the course look very easy to understand with great examples. It was great to learn TOGAF from him. I wish him all the best and surely go-back to him for any training needs in future
