A Review of Enterprise Architecture Across Global Banking The Banking Enterprise Architecture Review & Recognition 2026 is a coordinated global review cycle examining how banking institutions establish, govern, and execute enterprise architecture across strategy, operations, systems, and delivery. The program does not evaluate technology initiatives in isolation. Instead, it examines whether enterprise architecture exists as an explicit, governing anatomy that connects: Strat

Before funding approval, determine whether the initiative is logically connected across strategy, processes, systems, and delivery—or carrying hidden break risk.

During delivery, detect hidden gaps between business intent and technology execution that are increasing cost, delay, and rework.

Identify whether architecture is an enterprise asset—or dependent on personal memory—before leadership, vendor, or team transition.

Measure exposure if key architectural authority exits—and quantify the operational and financial impact of personal dependency

Organisations believe they are enforcing architecture — when they are only enforcing vendor and tool uniformity.

The Truth: EA-IT Has Run Its Course The kind of EA we’ve practiced for 20 years—EA-IT—is no longer enough. You know the signs: 20-slide frameworks that never impact revenue. Architecture reviews that never reach the CEO. Teams stuck reporting up to Infrastructure instead of Strategy.

Industry leaders across sectors—including airlines, airport, retail, telecom, automotive, healthcare, and finance—will participate

The Root of the Problem is that for decades, IT teams have been mistaking project implementation details for architecture

Instead of implementing a balcony within the existing structure, teams start designing an entirely new building. The result?

With their technological scale & global reach, they assumed their project architectures were robust, \but the results told a different story
