In terms of the whole organization…
EA is about the creation of a shared language (of
words, images, and so on) to communicate
about,
about think about, and manage the enterprise.
about enterprise
If the people in the enterprise cannot communicate
well enough to align their ideas and thoughts
about the enterprise (e.g., strategy, goals,
objectives, purpose, …),
then they cannot align the things they manage (e g

applications, data, projects, goods and services,

Zachman’s Framework for EA …
… is an ontology, a data model (schema) for all
the knowledge about the enterprise.
… is process and method agnostic. It doesn’t
care how you get the knowledge.
… posits that if you want to be aligned, agile,
optimized, or whatever your enterprise design
objectives, then these are the data you must
have and use in order to effectively:
• achieve those objectives;
• manage change and complexity;
• manage the enterprise & all its resources
including its technologies.

What is EA?
• EA is a different way of seeing, communicating about, &
managing the enterprise & all of its assets, including IT.
• EA gets to essence of IT success: Knowing &
communicating the organization’s requirements.
• EA is key to:
– achieving & keeping business-IT alignment & other objectives.
– helping the organization create value.
• EA includes many things you are already do; such as
requirements analysis, system design, strategic planning,
network design, standard setting, knowledge management,
data warehousing, SOA, BPR, etc., etc., …
– BUT EA is much, much more than that.
– Still, you can build your EA practice on what
you are already doing

Road to the Future: Institutionalizing EA
• This is a new way of life: There is no quick fix; no silver bullet.
• This will take time and determination, as well as vision,
courage and commitment: Do not underestimate the difficulty
and complexity of architecting and engineering one of
humankind s
humankind’s most complex objects – the Enterprise
Enterprise.
• Do not get discouraged: This is a revolution in thinking, a
discipline, an engineering process. Change of this magnitude
takes time and perseverance.
• Set realistic expectations: Things have to be implemented
and modified periodically so you have to accept some risk of
“scrap and rework." Progress trumps perfection.
• Don't assume anything: Make executive education and
Don t
technical training a continuous process. It is easy to forget
long-term issues in the short-term stress of daily life.
• Learn!: The state of the art is only about 25 years old and the
"playing field" still pretty level – there is still much to learn &
discover, & many opportunities to create advantage & value.

You will also need
some EA processes
and governance
bodies that integrate
EA into the
processes and
governance activities
for everything else
(IT and business).
Example of an EA development
process: TOGAF Architecture
Development Method (ADM) cycle

Implementation Guidelines: Getting Started
• Build on what you’re already doing (including projects).
• Use collaborative approaches to doing & governing EA:
– Organize an EA working group or EA council.
– Learn together & work toward agreement about language, models, methods
• Get participation & commitment from IT & business
p p
management:
– At all levels (but start as high as possible). Leadership counts!
• Determine the goals, focus, scope, and priorities:
– Aim for completeness & comprehensiveness. Deal with day-to-day needs.
• Embrace continuous change, learning, & communication:
– Remember, it’s a journey and a process.
– Evangelize. Have an “elevator speech”. Get your “converters” one at a time.
• Start small and show early success. Then build on it.
y
– Identify EA initiatives of most value to organization.
– Help the value creators, it creates champions and wins hearts and minds.
• Monitor, evaluate, and improve on a continuous basis:
– Quantify the benefits
– Regularly take a hard look at EA cost-value proposition, and make it better.
• Use EA in IT for CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT and to
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS & STAKEHOLDERS
