Digital transformation has put Enterprise Architecture (EA) higher up on the agenda. The demands of digital transformation have intensified the need for organizations to have a common framework and vocabulary for understanding their structure and the interrelationship between key organizational components. This paper reports on the work developed by a multidisciplinary team from different European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to design a program that other HEIs can use to raise awareness of the importance of EA modeling in their organizations to display the impact of changes. The paper describes the program’s goals, the underlying methodology applied, and the insights gathered from two workshops realized in 2022 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in Norway, to validate the program’s methodology.
