Women are significantly underrepresented in Enterprise and Business Architecture roles. As of 2020, only 13% of the 55,000 registered Enterprise Architecture professionals were women.
Why does this matter?
Diverse teams enhance creativity, decision-making, and problem-solving. Incorporating more women into these roles brings varied perspectives, fostering innovation and aligning solutions more closely with diverse user needs.
What can we do?
- Mentorship and Sponsorship: Support women pursuing careers in Enterprise and Business Architecture through guidance and advocacy.
- Challenge Stereotypes: Redefine perceptions of who can excel in these roles.
- Build Networks: Create supportive communities, such as Women in Architecture, to foster growth and collaboration.
- Achieving gender equity in Enterprise and Business Architecture enriches the profession and leads to more inclusive and effective technological solutions.
Let’s work together to create a more balanced future.
