According to workshop developer Scott Bernard, enterprise architecture is "the analysis and documentation of an enterprise in its current and future states from a strategy, business and technology perspective" (EA = S + B + T). It helps to integrate and manage IT resources from a strategy and business-driven viewpoint. During the course, Scott Bernard's enterprise architecture framework called "EA³ Cube" will be used as a tool for explaining what the basic elements of EA are, and how such a framework is used in documenting your enterprise architecture. Every now and then, we will also look at what TOGAF, Zachman, Sogeti's DYA, and others have to offer.
This "Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture" course is intended to provide executives, managers, IT staff, enterprise architects, and other interested individuals with exposure to the basic concepts of enterprise architecture. It is the first part of the Certification Series to become a CMU/EA Fellows Certified Enterprise Architect.

About this workshop:
The "Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture" course provides an understanding of how EA serves to integrate strategic and public sector EA frameworks, implementation methodologies, documentation techniques, tool use and best practices. Students will understand how EA serves to integrate strategic, business, and technology planning and documentation methods, which supports enterprise-wide information technology resource development and governance in the context of business requirements. The course consists of a pragmatic presentation of EA theory and group discussion to see how this theory can be put (or has been put) in practice at the participant's companies.
This workshop is organised in Belgium in cooperation with 
and EA Fellows. The number of participants is limited to 16 for maximum interaction and learning experience. During this workshop, free wifi Internet access will be available to our
participants.
Why should you attend this workshop ?
Participants who complete this workshop will have a basic understanding of EA concepts and practices, and will be better prepared to participate in and add value at a basic level to EA projects in private and public sector organizations. This should result in improved EA program success, higher quality EA documentation products, better support for IT resource planning and decision-making, improved communication with EA program stakeholders, and increased EA value delivery.
