About Darryl Carr

Building human-centred enterprises and communities

I am an Enterprise Architect, author and community builder with more than 35 years of experience helping organisations navigate change and connect strategy with execution. As the founder of Women in Architecture (WIA) Australia and Editor of the Enterprise Architecture Professional Journal, I am passionate about building communities that bring people together to learn, grow and create positive change. Drawing on decades of experience creating and supporting professional communities, I distilled many of those lessons into my book, Community Considerations: Building a Professional Community That Lasts. I speak on architecture, leadership, AI, professional development and community building, combining practical experience with a human-centred approach that puts people at the heart of technology and transformation.
