What do you do if your team lacks assertiveness and confidence in Business Architecture collaboration?
If you’re the leader, look to yourself. Often times hesitation from your team comes from not being confident in the process or their role in it. That falls on leadership.

In conclusion, be a better leader or get better leaders.
