Commonly heard statements

Myth or Reality?

 “Why should we bother with Enterprise Architecture?”
 “Architecture is a cost overhead we cannot afford.”
 “Architects don’t understand the business and are completely disconnected from our
world.”
 “Let’s cut to the chase and get straight on with designing the solution we need with
the best technology.”
 “Not having the business knowledge often kills EA initiatives because the projects
tend to be done for the sake of technology and not for successful business
outcomes”.
 “We are in tough economic conditions make more of what you have with less cost
and overhead – stop all non urgent projects at once!”

We know How do I know
solutions to every what I want,
problem? What’s when I don’t
your problem? know what you
can do for me


Enterprise Architecture excellence requires highly skilled, capable people who
measure success through achieving against agreed business outcomes.

World class Enterprise Architects are assessed on the following critical
attributes :-
 Leadership – how to move people and the business on.
 Strategic Planning- execution of the company strategic vision into
execution.
 Technical Expertise – recommend technology investments that will
create successful business outcomes.
 Financial Management – the ability to view the IT budget as a
portfolio of assets, with a strategic vision, whilst mitigating against
risk & increased cost.
 Operational Excellence – evidence of a strong portfolio of
successfully delivered EA projects.
 Innovation- driving innovation and realising business value by
architecting the capability.

Benefits for creating an Enterprise Architecture
Education Program

Enterprise Architecture creates the structure for business resources to achieve success in chosen markets.
By enabling the efficient alignment of an organisation’s strategic business goals and capabilities, Enterprise
Architecture empowers the organisation to deliver extra value and achieve substantial success.

Investment in developing people through education & training creates thinkers,
problem solvers, universal standards and improves communication in the workplace.

A structured approach by using open source best practices such as TOGAF® &
ArchiMate® ensures senior executives see tangible results, aligned to the business
strategy for their commitment to the Enterprise Architecture practice.

Encouraging the development of best practices standards and competencies enables
interoperability at all levels of the organisation.

Employing TOGAF® as a best practice gives a full audit trail of your business
improvement and processes in line with your statutory requirements, business goals and
strategies.

The standards have been specifically developed to be vendor neutral, not locking you
into one vendor or set of solutions & allowing you full control of your systems as you
evolve your Enterprise Architecture.

Organisations promote a climate of continuous business evolution, improving
everyone’s quality of work and deliverables.

Elevating Enterprise Architecture

Architecture

EA Business
Objective of the course:

To equip the Enterprise Architect (EA)
with a defined ‘toolbox’ of business
skills to compliment their technical
knowledge, which enhances their
personal and professional function
and enables them to communicate
and present ideas to business.


Why are business skills important?
Architecture

► EA is a structured and integrated approach to business
and IT transformation.
► Enterprise Architects are key agents of such change and
their performance is critically dependent on soft skills
around leadership, communications and empowerment.
► These softer skills plus an effective partnership with the
business will lead to a successful use of EA in business
transformation.


What is the value?

Architecture

► By pitching a value proposition to Business
Leaders and other key stakeholders in their
language, the Architects will be viewed as a
partner, rather than “just the technical
specialist”.
► The Softer Skills increasingly prevalent as a deal
breaker in many hiring decisions.
► Executives are measured on their ability to
motivate an organisation, to make clear and
well-balanced decisions and their ability to
develop and communicate ideas and visions.


What are the objectives and benefits for delegates?

Architecting the Enterprise – Measure your success.

Architecture Capability Maturity Assessments


The Value To An Organisation

Organisations continually face pressures to gain and retain competitive
advantage, identify ways of cutting costs, improve quality, reduce time to
market, etc. Maturity models have been developed to assist organisations
in this endeavour.

Enables greater efficiency in the utilization of resources and prioritizes
projects by creating a roadmap for a target Enterprise Architecture
maturity level. Good Enterprise Architecture develops effective change
management, maximises re-use of data, identifies and corrects
inefficiencies with compliance to governance and best practice standards.

A standard methodology enables a stable state of maturity development
to be reached and for incremental improvements to be made over time.


The Value To An Organisation

Increases an organisation's capability for Enterprise Architecture.
Successful EA programs are viewed as critical to business
sustainability.

Gives an indication of compliance with governance policies and
procedures across the enterprise. Thus giving key stakeholders an
early indication of governance issues.

Financial benefits can be derived from reduced redundancy,
improved time to delivery, reduced support costs and reduced
acquisition costs.

Our consultative approach involves all stakeholders and ensures
that the focus for improvement is in-line with your key business
drivers to deliver real and measurable business benefits.
