In this 1 hour session, we answered these top 10 (plus 2) questions: What is Enterprise Architecture? How long has Enterprise Architecture been around? How do you “cost justify” Enterprise Architecture? Where should Enterprise Architecture reside in the organization? Who is the audience for Enterprise Architecture? When do I need to do Enterprise Architecture? Why should an organization do Enterprise Architecture? What is an Enterprise Architecture Framework? What is an Enterprise Architecture Methodology? What does Enterprise Architecture certification actually mean? What is the background required for a great Enterprise Architect? How do I get started?
Every day at work I tell all of those around me to "Go out and make a Difference". At the end of the day I ask, "Did you make a difference today" If their response is "YES" then they get a fist bump and "Your my hero". If they say No I tell them, "Come on, don't let the Turkeys win". "YOU ARE A HERO!". You are my hero. I appreciate you and what you do for this world. The class and learning were exceptional and I hope somehow and some way I can make as much difference as you and your organization do someday. My most sincere regards and thank you.David Goble
Your approach, methodology, tips, and techniques are the most useful I have ever seen. I agree with you that the framework coupled with your methodology represents the complete package. It is both holistic and comprehensive. And, for me, it is the Rosetta stone of the Zachman framework and Enterprise Architecture. Thank you for developing a workable model that leaves no stone unturned. I am proud to say that I am EACOE certified, and look forward to bring real value to my customers!Greg Dismuke
I now realize I “messed” with the rest, and now have the best! Thank you!!John Hundiak
I found the workshop extremely valuable. You kept talking about putting it into practice on “Monday morning”, which at the time seemed somewhat unreasonable. However, I actually was able to do just that. I was amazed. I find myself thinking in Enterprise Architecture terms now more so than ever, breaking things into definitions and specific parts and mapping it back to each cell on the framework. In fact, I was able to develop a governance model for the ministry in a manner that that defined roles, responsibilities and decision-making based on functions and sub-functions. They LOVED it!!! Understood it right away and want to extend my contract. All in all, it was an amazing week for me. The only issue I had was that it should have been longer! I feel like I have so much more to learn.Karen-Ann Moore
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you once again for the wonderful educational experience. Believe me when I say that this has been the very best training I ever attended in my 15 year career, it is a pity that I did not get the opportunity to be in the class a lot sooner! Over the weekend I went through every single page in the material you provided, there is a lot in there. I will be putting your “Business on a page” template to use here pretty soon.Sudhir Gadepalli
