Overview
Just as the futurists have been predicting for many years, the information
revolution has become a reality. Technology has penetrated every
aspect of the Enterprise and its exploitation has impacted the very
structure of many industries. The world has become a global, electronic
marketplace. Enterprises are beginning to perceive the significance
of process ... process that knows no organisational boundaries, inside
or outside of the Enterprise itself. Organisational hierarchies are
becoming obsolete as power is clearly shifting from the top to the
bottom and then beyond the enterprise. Technology innovation proceeds
at blinding rates. Enterprises are under heavy stress as global economies
begin to react to the early phases of the Information Age.
Enterprise Architecture is fundamental for enabling an enterprise to assimilate internal changes in response to the external dynamics and uncertainties of the information age environment. It not only constitutes a baseline for managing change, but also provides the mechanism by which the reality of the enterprise and its systems can be aligned with management intentions.
Learning
Objectives
The objective of this seminar is to build an understanding of the concepts
of Enterprise Architecture and develop a sense of urgency for implementing
those concepts in a modern enterprise. The participant will take away:
- A sense of urgency for aggressively pursuing Enterprise Architecture
- A comprehensive definition (description) of Enterprise Architecture
- A "language" (that is, a Framework) for improving enterprise communications about architecture issues
- An understanding of basic Enterprise "physics" - laws of nature that govern Enterprise implementations
- Differentiation of Enterprise Architecture from Systems Implementation
- A strategy for reducing "time-to-market" for systems implementations to virtually zero
- Some pragmatic approaches for implementing Enterprise-wide strategies
- Strategy for integration beyond jurisdiction (Interoperability)
- Architectural Principles for meeting enterprise requirements
- A list of resources to facilitate architectural work
1. Business Drivers For Enterprise Architecture (EA)
- The Dramatically Changing Environment
- Origins of Enterprise Architecture
- What Information People "Bring to the Table" in the Information Age
- Enterprise Architecture - an Enterprise Issue
2. The Zachman Framework
The Zachman Framework is perhaps the most referenced in the industry.
This session provides participants with a unique opportunity to learn
first-hand about its concept and utility, directly from the man who
developed it.
- Enterprise Knowledge Artifacts:
- From Data, Function, Networks, People, Time and Motivation
- From Scope to Enterprise, Systems and Technology Models to Implementation

4. Enterprise Architecture: Implementation Practicalities
- Explicit Versus Implicit Models - Origin of Defects

- The "Provide-from Stock" Strategy - "Packages"
- The "Assemble-to-Order" Strategy - "Mass Customization"
8. Federated Architecture
- Integrating Beyond the Boundary of the Enterprise
- The "Sameness" Template
- Friendly Advice
- "Federated Architecture" IS "Interoperability"
9. Conclusions
- The New Destination
- Zachman Propositions
- Framework Resources
Audience
The seminar is designed for enterprise professionals of every discipline
including non-information disciplines as well as information disciplines.
Although it is addressing technology issues, it is not a "technical" seminar.
It addresses the subjects that both enterprise professionals and
information professionals must understand to operate effectively
in collaboration in the Information Age environment.
Further, the seminar is appropriate for both management and non-management professionals. For management it clarifies the issues for decision purposes and enables more meaningful dialogue with and among the technology community. For operations professionals, it establishes the context for developing improved approaches and implementation strategies.
Typical delegates include:
- Chief Information Officers
- Information Systems Management
- Data, Applications, Technology Management
- Enterprise Architects
- Data, Applications, Technology Architects
- Business Architects
- Business, Systems Analysts
- Consultants
- Strategic Planners

John A. Zachman is the originator of the "Framework for Enterprise Architecture" which has received broad acceptance around the world as an integrative framework, or "periodic table" of descriptive representations for Enterprises. He is not only known for this work on Enterprise Architecture, but is also known for his early contributions to IBM's Information Strategy methodology as well as to their Executive team planning techniques. Mr. Zachman retired from IBM in 1990, having served them for 26 years. He is Chief Executive Officer of the Zachman Institute for Framework Advancement (ZIFA), an organization dedicated to advancing the conceptual and implementation states of the art in Enterprise Architecture. He also operates his own education and consulting business, Zachman International. |
