Digital Transformation Architect

Most organizations do not fail at digital transformation because they lack ideas. They fail because the ideas do not survive contact with day-to-day work. A new capability is announced, a pilot begins, the diagram looks promising, and then reality gets in the way: handoffs are unclear, approvals are inconsistent, ownership is fuzzy, and the work that matters most is still done by habit rather than by design. That gap between intention and execution is the problem the FORGE practices are meant to address.

What is Digital Transformation Architect?

Digital Transformation Architect is the canonical architecture podcast for leaders who need transformation decisions to last.

Hosted by Dr. Darren Pulsipher, the show applies the Open Digital Transformation Architecture (ODXA) to help organizations navigate digital change across people, process, and technology. Each episode focuses on architectural thinking—examining tradeoffs, dependencies, governance, and long-term impacts—so listeners can move beyond trends and tools toward durable outcomes.

Whether you’re a CIO, enterprise architect, policymaker, or transformation leader, Digital Transformation Architect provides a structured, domain-driven approach to designing transformation that aligns strategy, operations, and technology at scale.
