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.
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
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

The New Destination
Zachman Propositions
Framework Resources
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.
