As an authoritative international technical standards organization, The Open Group has been at the forefront of the promotion of sustainable EA. For you, what is the significance of the development of digital standards for business and society?

The Open Group has played a leading role in advancing the field of Enterprise Architecture through standards such as TOGAF®, ArchiMate® and the Open Agile Architecture™️standard. Digital Standards are becoming increasingly significant for businesses and society as a means of ensuring that technology and systems are designed, with, implemented with, and governed with the long-term impact on the environment and society in mind.

In addition, digital standards provide guidelines for businesses and society to adopt, helping us to ask the right questions and provide a starting point of best practices which may reduce inconsistencies and inefficiencies in technology deployment and usage. Standardizing digital practices can also help to improve interoperability, making it easier for different systems to connect with one another and communicate effectively. In addition, digital standards, practices and governance can help to ensure that systems are designed to be compliant to laws and regulations, that they are also secure, robust, and resilient, minimizing the risk of failures or attacks that can have negative impacts on businesses and society.

数字标准的制定也是确保技术服务于更广泛的社会需求并与国家和全球可持续发展目标保持一致的一个关键方面。数字标准可以帮助确保技术解决方案与可持续实践保持一致，例如联合国可持续发展目标(SDG)中概述的那些，以及中国政府阐述的国家议程。

The development of digital standards is also a crucial aspect of ensuring that technology serves the broader needs of society and aligns with national and global goals for sustainable development. Digital standards can help to ensure that technology solutions are aligned with sustainable practices, such as those outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the national agenda here in China as outliner by the government.

它们还有助于确保技术解决方案考虑到所有利益攸关方的需求，包括弱势和边缘化群体的需求。这是The Open Group和联合国以及国际电信联盟在The Open Group主持的政府EA工作组中相互接触的一个关键原因，可持续发展目标是该工作的核心。

Another way that these standards and practices can help is to ensure that technology solutions consider the needs of all stakeholders, including vulnerable and marginalized groups. This is a key reason The Open Group and UN/ITU are engaging with each other in the Government EA work group hosted by The Open Group, the SDG’s are at the core of that work.

This Summit mainly focused on the theme of “EA for Sustainability”. Regarding to this topic, what are your and your organization's recommendations, standards, or tools to help businesses survive and succeed in a low-carbon environment?

A2：帮助企业在低碳环境中生存并取得成功，对于在整个运营过程中实施可持续实践至关重要。这包括对企业架构采用可持续的方法，这可以通过将技术解决方案与政府或企业环境中可持续发展的本地和全球目标相结合来实现。

Helping not only businesses but governments organize themselves to succeed in achieving a low carbon environment is critical to implementing sustainable practices nationally and internationally. So adopting a sustainable approach to enterprise architecture, which can be achieved by aligning technology solutions with local and global goals for sustainable development within a government or enterprise context.

The Open Group已经开发了一些标准和工具来帮助企业实现可持续的企业架构，包括ArchiMate®（点击了解更多），它旨在支持可持续业务流程的建模和可视化，以及TOGAF®标准（点击了解更多），它为转型和设计一个可持续的企业提供了一个框架。

The Open Group has developed several standards and tools to help businesses achieve sustainable enterprise architecture, including ArchiMate®, which is designed to support the modeling and visualization of sustainable business processes, and TOGAF® standard, which provides a framework for transformation and designing a sustainable enterprise.

与这个问题相关的还有另外两个主题。其中之一是DPBoK™️（点击了解更多），它提供了一组原则，描述了如何最好地将数字标准结合在一起，以加速整个组织对数字实践的采用，促进可持续和持久的变化，而不是暂时的变化。我们也有开放足迹标准，这是一个可执行的平台和数据模型，以及相关的程序接口，以开放和透明的方式记录和报告碳足迹。

There are two other relevant topics related to this question. one is DPBoK™️which provides a set of principles describing how Digital Standards can be best used together to accelerate the adoption of Digital practices across an organization, facilitating sustainable, and enduring change not something that's temporary additionally. We’ve also got the Open Footprint standard which is an executable platform and data model and associated program in interfaces to record and report on carbon footprint in an open and transparent manner.

作为技术标准开发的领导者，The Open Group致力于支持政府和企业努力实现可持续发展目标，我们将继续关注这一重要主题。

As a leader in the development of technology standards, The Open Group is committed to supporting governments and enterprises in their efforts to achieve sustainability goals and we continue to focus on this important topic.

Q3：架构人才的建设对于实现企业可持续发展至关重要，同时，也是当前数字化时代的重要课题之一。您认为，如何培养和发掘优秀的架构师人才？企业又该如何吸引并留住这些人才？

The construction of architecture talent is crucial for the sustainable development of enterprises, and it is also one of the important issues in the current digital age. In your opinion, how to cultivate and discover good architects? How can companies attract and retain these talents?

A3：架构人才的发展对于企业的可持续发展至关重要，特别是在数字时代，技术是企业运营的各个方面不可或缺的一部分。因此，识别和培养架构师公司需要采用多管齐下的方法，他们必须有多种方法来做到这一点。

The development of architecture talent is essential for the sustainable development of enterprises, particularly in the digital age, where technology is an integral part of every aspect of business operations. So identifying and cultivating architects companies need to adopt a multi-pronged approach they have to have several ways of doing this.

首先，公司应该为架构师创建一个社区和一个明确定义的职业道路，概述每个级别的发展所需的级别、知识、技能、经验和能力。这将有助于指导、激励和鼓励架构师发展他们的技能和专业知识，并创造一种专业、稳定和安全的感觉。

Firstly, companies should create a community and a well-defined career path for architects that outlines the levels, knowledge, skills, experience, and competencies required for advancement at each level. This will help to guide, motivate, and encourage architects to develop their skills and expertise, and create a sense of professionalism, stability, and security.

在创造这种环境以提供持续的学习机会和经验丰富的发展机会方面也是必要的。这些对于架构师跟上该领域的最新实践、技术和趋势是至关重要的。公司应该投资于培训计划、认证计划、研讨会和会议，为架构师提供必要的资源，以发展他们的技能并保持最新状态。

It is also necessary in creating that environment to provide continuous learning opportunities and experienced development opportunities. These are crucial for architects to stay abreast of the latest practices, technologies, and trends in the field. Companies should invest in training programs, certification programs, workshops, and conferences to provide architects with the necessary resources to develop their skills and stay current.

It's a global problem that there is a massive shortage of experienced competent enterprise architects around the world. Identifying and training architects is not done effectively in most academic systems. It typically falls on the enterprise to identify potential talent internally and develop those people over several years. There is a global shortage of experienced competent talent, so it is actually very difficult to simply advertise and hire the necessary talent in the market place. One way to mitigate this in hiring is to hire certified people with formal training even if they do not have all the experience you need. They will at a minimum have a common professional vocabulary and set of accepted best practices to leverage as they gain experience.

导师制也是培养任何领域人才的有效方式，架构也不例外。公司应该鼓励他们的架构师参加专业组织和相关的指导计划，将他们与更有经验的架构师联系起来，接受来自他们的指导和反馈。

Mentorship is also an effective way of cultivating talent in any field, and architecture is no exception. Companies should encourage their architects to participate in professional organizations and related mentorship programs that connect them with more experienced architects who can provide guidance and feedback.
