Overcoming these barriers is the critical first step in creating an environment for architecture success. At Glaxo Wellcome Research, these environmental challenges were addressed by creating a compelling vision for the future, developing a broad base of architecture awareness and creating an inclusionary culture between architects, IT staff and management. This session will address the challenges architecture team leaders face at start-up, and provide insight from the Glaxo Wellcome experience.
