KEYNOTE: The Next Generation of Enterprise Architects
Chris Potts, Corporate Strategist, Dominic Barrow
Tim Shoubridge, Global Head of Enterprise Architecture, Leaseplan Corporation


As Enterprise Architecture becomes more integral to corporate and business strategies, we are seeing the next generation of Enterprise Architects emerge. Innovative and influential, they are shifting some of the boundaries that have historically been placed around Enterprise Architecture, and which have inhibited them from making their true contribution to business success. In challenging economic times, they have the potential to be even more valued.

This is a dual presentation, combining Chris, in his customary thought-provoking way, and Tim with his on-the-ground experiences leading the next generation of Enterprise Architects in the world-leading vehicle and fleet-management company.
How can Enterprise Architects ensure they are truly valued as fully-fledged contributors to corporate and business success? What new skills and techniques have they had to develop along the way? Where are they now in LeasePlan’s worldwide organization structure? And how is LeasePlan benefiting from this evolution?

  • Enterprise Architecture as a fully-fledged business discipline
  • Historic boundaries, and how to shift them
  • The next-generation of Enterprise Architect
  • The LeasePlan journey
  • Lessons learned, and where next?

KEYNOTE: EA for the Coherent Enterprise
John Gøtze, International President, Association of Enterprise Architects
EA increasingly covers all dimensions of an enterprise, and is therefore uniquely able to serve as the 'meta' approach for analyzing, designing and changing enterprises to operate successfully in a coherent way and survive in highly dynamic environments.

This presentation will focus on 'coherency management' as the primary goal of EA. By establishing a coherency management capability as part of their EA approach, enterprises can bring together the enterprise's strategic, business and technology dimensions, and in doing so, create a coherent enterprise based on the three core values alignment, agility and assurance.
Taking a critical look at a number of EA-efforts in various enterprises around the world, the presenter will demonstrate that coherency must be a major concern for enterprise architects, including highlights from a seminal new book on the subject. A coherency management framework will be introduced and its use demonstrated though real-life cases.

KEYNOTE: Managing Complexity and Change
John Zachman, President, Zachman International


Enterprise Architecture is a much misunderstood subject by General Management and the Information Technology community alike. Enterprise Architecture has everything to do with managing Enterprise complexity and Enterprise change and relates to information technology only in so far as information technology may be one choice that an Enterprise can make with regard to Enterprise operations. The Framework for Enterprise Architecture, the “Zachman Framework” defines the set of descriptive representations that constitutes the knowledgebase required to manage Enterprises. This presentation will show, with examples, how these representations constitute the “raw material” for engineering the Enterprise for flexibility, integration, reusability, interoperability, alignment, etc.
  • Enterprise Architecture – impact on Management
  • Examples of descriptive representations of the Enterprise

KEYNOTE: It's Enterprise Architecture Jim, But Not as We Know It!
Steve Jones, Global Director Partner Management, Capgemini


The entry of a wide mix of technologies into the enterprise, its products, its business and processes is under way. The combination of a recession and new technology that users can drive at low cost for innovative gain is irresistible to a hard pressed business manager. Meanwhile business schools and consultants have talked extensively about how business itself is being changed by these factors, using terms such as ‘business model innovation’ and ‘enterprise 2.0’.

Services-based technologies, ranging from Web Services to Cloud Services, will become essential for businesses. Trying to curtail their use is not likely to work, nor would it be in the best interests of the enterprise at this difficult time. What is needed is to establish codes of practice and governance to ensure standards are consistent, risks are correctly identified and managed, and most of all, what should be integrated into the enterprise is appropriately integrated. This presentation will discuss the major mind shift that Enterprise Architects must make to extend their traditional view of EA, embrace new architectural styles such as cloud computing, and provide a path for safe adoption.
