Learning Objectives
Why do we organize this workshop ?
Even after understanding how to use the enterprise architecture framework (the EA³ Cube) as a tool to align strategy, business and technology ("EA = S + B + T"); and even after knowing how to apply and implement the various EA concepts; you are probably still wondering how you can implement and improve enterprise architecture in your company. Typical questions that may arise and that will be answered during this 3-day workshop are:
- How can you show the advantages of having an enterprise architecture ? What is the added value of EA ?
- Where and how do you start with building an enterprise architecture ?
- What is the lifecycle of an EA ?
- (How) Can you assess the maturity of your EA ?
- what are the roles and responsibilities of an EA team and the chief enterprise architect ?
- How can you link EA to other governance processes such as capital planning, program management and HRM ?
- How do you use EA with outsourcing or with mergers & acquisitions ?
- ...
About this workshop:
This "Advanced EA Concepts" workshop builds upon prior knowledge of EA concepts and practices, gained in
- the 4-day "Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture" and
- the 5-day "Applied Enterprise Architecture Concepts" workshops.
This specific workshop is intended to build proficiency in managing EA programs, establishing/leading EA teams, winning EA work, delivering EA products, and using EA to improve mission performance. Although it is not absolutely necessary to have attended the 2 workshops above, it is required that participants understand the EA3 cube, and have read the book on EA3 by Scott Bernard.
The 3-day course will also cover advanced concepts on linking EA to other governance processes, including capital planning, program management, security, and human resources management (HRM).

About the Certification Programme
Are you looking to expand your knowledge of Enterprise Architecture (EA) ? Are you trying to control business and technology development projects ? But you don't know for sure if your line-of-business applications support your business goals ? Do you need to learn EA best practices, so that you can maximize the benefits of EA for your organization ?
If so, then the new Enterprise Architecture Certification Program, offered by Telelogic and by Carnegie Mellon University's Institute for Software Research International (ISRI), one of the world's leading IT education and research centers, and organised by I.T. Works in Belgium, is the program for you. "It is an honour and a pleasure to launch the EA-certification programme developed by Carnegie Mellon University here in Europe. Over the past several years, the demand for EA-competencies in Europe has increased tremendously, and it is time to roll out professional certification here now", says Dr. John Gøtze, the International President of the Association of Enterprise Architects, and instructor of the certification courses.
This Enterprise Architecture certification program will give you the knowledge and skills you need to successfully implement an EA initiative in the public or private sector. You will learn EA concepts, best practices, and tools from experienced Carnegie Mellon certified instructors. The Certification Program is built from three intensive courses which provide a comprehensive development program for Enterprise Architects: the 4-day "Fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture" course, the 5-day "Applied Enterprise Architecture" course and this 3-day "Advanced Enterprise Architecture". You will attain "Certified Enterprise Architect" status after passing three intensive exams for each of these courses.
