  • From Strategy to Structure

    From Strategy to Structure
    Apr 16 2026
    What happens when strategy and technology move forward but the structure of the enterprise doesn’t keep up? In this episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi Brooks is joined by Whynde Kuehn, founder of S2E Transformation and a leading voice in business architecture, to explore how organizations translate strategy into real operational change. Together, Mimi and Whynde unpack how organizations still default to technology-first thinking, the role of a clear business blueprint in grounding decisions, and how business architecture helps connect strategy to execution through capabilities, value streams, and operating models. In a landscape increasingly shaped by agentic systems influencing decisions and workflows, Mimi and Whynde explore how governance, control, and decision rights are becoming a central part of enterprise architecture. Whether you're leading transformation or navigating AI-driven change, this conversation will reframe how you think about the relationship between strategy, structure, and governance.

  • Control at Machine Speed

    Control at Machine Speed
    Apr 2 2026
    As organizations begin delegating decisions to agentic systems, control can no longer rely on oversight after the fact. In this episode, Mimi Brooks is joined by returning guest Mike Carroll—an expert in industrial innovation, applied AI, and system strategy—to explore what it means to maintain control when decisions happen at machine speed. Together, they unpack why traditional governance breaks down, how causality and decision-making logic shift how decisions are made and governed, and what leaders must rethink about architecture, accountability, and enterprise agency in an increasingly autonomous world.

  • Enterprise Architecture 4.0: Agentic Governance and the Leadership Mindset for the Age of Autonomy

    Enterprise Architecture 4.0: Agentic Governance and the Leadership Mindset for the Age of Autonomy
    Feb 19 2026
    Agentic systems are reshaping the foundation of the enterprise faster than most organizations can adapt. In this episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi Brooks is joined by Jesper Lowgren—Agentic Enterprise Architect Lead at DXC technology and creator of the Enterprise Architecture 4.0 framework—to explore how enterprise architecture, governance, and leadership must evolve for the agentic era. Together, they examine Enterprise Architecture 4.0, the new governance requirements of agentic systems, and why leaders must shift from reactive oversight to governing through real-time guardrails and conditions. Jesper shares the mindset shifts leaders need, the risks of operating between legacy and agentic systems, and what sets organizations up for success as autonomy and uncertainty redefine the enterprise.
