About this podcast
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.
