This seminar and workshop gives architects, analysts, project and programme leaders, strategists, consultants, ... a good idea of how they should:
- Formulate a successful management strategy for Enterprise Architecture

- Choose the most valuable EA interventions
- Influence other people's strategies, plans and investments in change
- Collaborate effectively with others to grow EA's contribution and reputation
About this seminar
Ask yourself and your colleagues: Is your Enterprise Architecture really influencing decisions, shaping investments, and enhancing performance ? Although everybody agrees that this is the real purpose of having an Enterprise Architecture, very few companies are able to answer the question affirmatively.
The fundamentals of Enterprise Architecture (EA) - frameworks, methods and tools - equip Enterprise Architects for a career-long journey of successes and professional development. From designing solutions and roadmaps to maximising EA's contribution across the enterprise, the strategy for success depends on choosing the most effective interventions, influencing decisions, shaping innovations and investments, and measurably enhancing enterprise performance.
This intensive two-day seminar and workshop focuses on successful management strategies for Enterprise Architecture. It includes - for example - establishing EA's value proposition, measuring the enterprise's architectural performance, diagnosing an enterprise, and validating the enterprise's process for investing in change. Using a fascinating and challenging case study, this workshop explores how to formulate the winning strategy for EA, and execute that strategy through each enterprise architect's "play-or-pass" choices.
Entirely based on first-hand experiences of Enterprise Architecture in practice, the seminar will help you to:
- Benchmark your management strategy for Enterprise Architecture
- Supplement your EA frameworks, methods and techniques with strategic, political and investment skills
- Explore how you can best maximise EA's contribution across the enterprise
- Build the reputation of Enterprise Architecture as a strategic capability
- Plan the next stages of your EA journey
This is a seminar for everyone who has an interest in the contribution and reputation of Enterprise Architecture. It is focused on the management and leadership aspects of EA, rather than the frameworks, tools and methods that architects use for designing solutions and roadmaps, so has a wider potential audience than many other EA-related seminars.
