EAC2013 presentation: A Cookbook for Smart EA PracticesRik Farenhorst
Despite the maturation of the discipline, in many organizations Enterprise Architecture is not applied very effectively, mostly because using structured methods and frameworks is preferred over communicating business value and smart planning of IT investments. The various EA frameworks (e.g., TOGAF) that have been proposed over the past years definitely have their merit, but they also seem to seduce architects to focus on blueprints, elaborate process definitions and ivory towers. Architects simply need to work smarter to be of added value. Based on experience in numerous EA projects and EA trainings delivered in the Netherlands, in this presentation a cookbook for smart EA practices is proposed. The cookbook, which is inspired by success stories from the trenches, adopts and adapts elements from contemporary EA frameworks and other methods, (e.g., stakeholder management, architecture visualizations, business model canvas), and as such provides a step-by-step guide for building or professionalizing an EA function.

Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...Craig Martin
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.
Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
To design business models of the future requires a comprehensive set of skills. The skills are diverse in nature and range from the typical business analysis delivery focused requirements management tools and techniques to the more business architect MBA style and business model innovation techniques.
But how can we leverage the two skillsets to create more cohesion in the industry?
Where is the overlap and is there a career path between the two?
What about the frameworks that support these two disciplines?
This presentation will deal with:
Shifts occurring in the market;
Where the business architect and the business analyst provide value individually;
Where the business architecture and the business analyst provide value together;
How are the disciplines merging; and what the future could look like.
In April 2016, one of EA Learning’s experienced Business Architecture instructors, Judith Oja-Gillam, delivered a webinar to a community of Architects and IT professionals within the IASA network. Judith discussed the discipline of business architecture, its potential value to the business and some of the challenges it looks to address. The approaches discussed are linked closely to the content delivered in EA Learning’s Applied Business Architecture.

TOGAF provides a discipline for Enterprise Architecture while also providing the flexibility to adapt to any specific organization or methodology. This 'openness' of TOGAF as demonstrated in one of the key values of The Open Group is one of the major factors which has led to the growing success of TOGAF over recent years. TOGAF workshop guarantees measurable learning outcomes.
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is one of the most popular frameworks used to mould various aspects of Enterprise Architecture. There is a flexibility built into the TOGAF Framework, primarily through the key concept of the Architecture Development Method (the ADM) which is inherently adaptable to co-exist with other frameworks.

TOGAF is consistent, reflects the needs of stakeholders, employs best practices and gives considerations to current and future business requirements across various industry sectors.
Enterprise Architecture gets systems thinking out of the backroom into the boardroom. From the original ideas of John Zachman, the discipline has emerged to cover Business Process Management, Information Systems and Technology Infrastructure – all of which amounts to consciously architecting the enterprise rather than allowing the enterprise to happen by accident.

VTU and iCMG will be initiating several programmes which will not only create a substantial resource pool base, but also will become a leading-edge research and excellence center.
The partnership will embolden VTU initiatives in providing industry-centric education, create vast resource pool base and capacity building for the global industry which is looking for students with better and enhanced skill sets. The Center will focus on training programmes in the area of Enterprise and IT Architecture, research in software and enterprise architecture and consulting services by VTU team and ICMG for Government, Small & Medium Enterprises.
To initiate enhanced student interest in EA, the Center will be offering scholarships to four students every year from one of the many VTU affiliated colleges.
Some of the common myths about the framework are: Is the framework for Enterprise or IT or both; colors are random; there is no Integration across columns; transformation vs. decomposition; number of rows can change, columns are arbitrary, perspectives are random; no rules to separate primitive vs. composites; architecture constructs vs. manufacturing constructs; methodology vs. ontology; taxonomy vs. ontology; checklist vs. periodic table; row 1 & row 2 vs. row 6; etc
The idea behind the iCMG Enterprise & IT Architecture Excellence awards is to honor architects & enterprises whose work demonstrates a combination of talent, vision & workmanship in creating successful and enduring systems & enterprises.
This 4 days workshop covers the latest version of the Zachman Framework v3.0. It's the most EA-inclusive representation of the Zachman Framework over the last 40 years. This program will prepare the participants for “Zachman Certified - Enterprise Architect” (both Level 1 & Level 2) examination, which is taken separately at a later date.

This is one of the most productive four day certification workshop by two brightest brains on “Enterprise Architecture.” Of course, one is living legend and the inventor of the “Enterprise Architecture” himself - John Zachman and other is Sunil Dutt Jha – an accomplished practitioner and CEO of iCMG who will help you to unravel the science behind the “enterprise.”
Zachman
The certification fee (both Level 1 & Level 2) is included in the registration fee at discounted price, which can be used subsequently to take up the “Zachman Certified – Enterprise Architect” examination.

This is very exclusive certification program. If you want to understand the “Complexity & Contradiction” in Enterprise and struggling to manage non-adaptive enterprise and dysfunctional systems, you don't want to miss this.
Advanced BPM approaches are a mixture of learnings distilled from the thought leadership of leading global change companies, our own extensive experience delivering change "in the field" and our own in-house research team. Everything that is done is aligned to the latest approaches for delivering change. This is called "Outcome Based Thinking" and is designed to take change thinking to the next level and help an organisation
The thinking, tools and techniques within Advanced BPM can be applied directly to our own organisations after less than a week of training. The terminology used can be adopted, if necessary, across an enterprise although in reality many will apply the tools and make changes without ever having to be too specific as to the techniques used. This may range from the individual improving performance from the context of the remit where they have influence, to sustained change programmes at an organisation level.
The global recession has impacted the overall business climate and many companies believe their performance won’t markedly improve until the business environment improves. How do you need to think about your business so that you have the potential to join those special few who thrive – recession or no recession.
Advanced BPM shows that the way we traditionally view process is an illusion and prevents us from viewing business in a way to enable significant change. Viewing what we do from the perspective of the outcome enables us to think of performance change initiatives that would never occur to us if we only study our business in the traditional manner.
Advanced BPM is more than a series of tools and techniques to view and improve our business. It is a 'practical thinking approach' or a 'business attitude' to be orientated to as much of the business as the practitioner or management requires. If implemented to the greatest degree, a company may design and represent its organisation charts around the customer and the specific outcomes it is looking to create.
A detailed overview of the Advanced BPM Framework as the latest wave of BPM change approaches and how it aligns to the practical change framework required in 2013 and beyond. 9 tools to identify, prioritise and deliver revenue/cost/service improvement change. An implementation framework that can be easily dovetailed into existing best practice approaches to practically deliver change in a secure, structured and low risk manner
