Enterprise Architecture 4.0: Designing for Intelligence, Autonomy, and Emergence
What happens when architecture isn’t just about systems—but about cognition? In this episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi Brooks is joined by Jesper Lowgren, Enterprise Architecture Practice Lead at DXC Technology and creator of the Enterprise Architecture 4.0 framework. Jesper is rethinking enterprise architecture for an AI-first world—one where we’re no longer just designing systems, but shaping the conditions for intelligent agents to think, learn, and act. Together, they explore how ontologies, simulation, and systems thinking are redefining enterprise architecture for autonomy and emergence.
