We know solutions to every problem? What’s your problem?

know what you can do for me

Commonly heard statements

“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!”

Myth or Reality?


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.


Enterprise Architects plan for success – break through the glass ceiling!

Benefits for creating an Enterprise Architecture Education Program

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.

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.

EA BusinessObjective 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?

► 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?

► 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?

Program of workshops

Getting Started with Enterprise Architecture

This program will develop the Enterprise Architecture for your organisation using an EA framework. It will establish an Enterprise Architecture practice in your organisation, aligning the IT strategy and delivery projects to your business goals and objectives. By the end of this program you will have customised the framework to meet the needs of your organisation, selected and evaluated your architecture tools and established a governance framework for ensuring IT delivery projects conform to the enterprise architecture principles for your organisation.



Objectives: Set your Architecture Scope Develop your architecture principles Define your architecture footprint Customise the framework in Kroger EA Framework Evaluate, Select and implement EA toolset. Establish the Enterprise Architecture Practice



Outcomes: Enterprise Architecture vision document A complete set of agreed and documented architecture principles Documented stakeholder management matrix Documented communications plan Enterprise architecture RACI matrix Documented enterprise architecture governance framework The organisation specific architecture framework documented Enterprise architecture tool strategy identified and documented Documented baseline for enterprise architecture maturity Architecture practise development program Documented Skills Matrix with identified skills requirements Phased training plan


Architecture Capability Maturity Assessments

Architecting the Enterprise – Measure your success.


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.
