Description

My name is Bry Willis.

Here you can find my thoughts on topics ranging from business transformation strategy to enterprise business architecture to transformation implementation and adoption.

I view transformation through a customer experience lens to solve business challenges and leveraging technology to enable solutions.

Here I share decades of my experience in corporate and management consulting contexts, from my beginnings as a technologist through to my time as a consultant and advisor.

So join me on this journey and see where it takes us.
