Plenary KEYNOTE: A Strategic Toolkit for Designing and Delivering A Breakout Strategy What differentiates high performance, double-digit growth companies from those that are average or underperforming? The answer is that the most successful companies in any industry always employ, in their own tailored ways, a set of integrated strategy practices. In this talk, Prof. Thomas Lawton provides you with an insight into the trajectories and techniques needed to move toward the sweet spots that exist in your organization. He emphasizes the need to harmonize the hard, financial and technology processes with the softer, leadership and people factors. The result is an inclusive picture of successful strategy formulation and execution where Enterprise Architecture and BPM practitioners can play a pivotal role. Based on his book, Breakout Strategy, and more than 15 years of research and consulting with leaders of large and small companies around the world, he presents a vision-led and customer-centric strategic toolkit that is realistic, field tested, and within reach of every change management team - regardless of size, resources or functional activity. | |||||||||||||

Using Strategy-Driven Architecture Principles to Harmonize IT Delivery Globally Jennifer Costley, Director IT Architecture, Credit Suisse At Credit Suisse, we have developed a Bank-wide set of Strategy-Driven Architecture Principles (SDAs), based on top-level business and IT strategies. These principles are agreed across all divisions of the Bank, and along with a common Target Operating Model are being used to establish the basis for our Architecture directives framework. The SDAs fulfil the need to have long-term Architecture vision, while allowing the underlying implications to be translated into standards and guidelines that can be adapted to business change. Importantly, they also bind together a globally-federated Architecture organization and help to create a common direction and purpose. In this session, attendees will learn via a practical case study:

From Bid to Contract Completion - the Lifecycle of EA in Long-term Outsourcing David Tollow, Managing Consultant, Siemens IT Solutions and Services The best time to start an Enterprise Architecture (EA) is at the beginning - and in IT and Business Process outsourcing contracts which can last 10 or 15 years the early investments made in EA will be repaid may times over. By making architecture part of the initial competition and contracting phase the foundations for successful implementation are put in place from the start - minimizing risk and raising awareness of the business value of good architecture. This presentation covers the full lifecycle of EA - from using architectural models to achieve organizational buy-in and approval for the largest transformation programmes, through the typical lifecycle of a long-term contract. This presentation will illustrate how to:

Building a Business Architecture Capability Practice within Shell Daniel Jeavons, Group Process Architect, Shell International This session describes a 5-year journey that the Shell Group has taken, to create a standard approach to business architecture, as well as to embed a business architecture capability in each business and function. The journey for Shell has been process-centric, beginning with identifying the need for a methodology and tool for process-modelling, but moving towards a more holistic view encompassing:
Finally, the session will discuss Shell's aspirations for the future, specifically our need to integrate process and data more effectively, focus on supporting process execution, and effectively disseminate process metrics. |

A LEAP in the Dark: The UK's Biggest Banking Integration Programme Roger Evernden In January 2009 Lloyds TSB acquired HBOS to form Lloyds Banking Group, leading to the UK's biggest banking integration programme. The architectural approach to create a single integrated IT platform from two heritage banking systems was established in 2009, with migration and delivery of the aligned systems and processes in 2011. In parallel, the Enterprise Architecture and Design team defined the next phase of the business journey - transformation. Combining integration and transformation makes LEAP - the Lloyds Banking Group Enterprise Architecture Programme - one of the most ambitious EA initiatives in recent years. This presentation:

EA Knowledge Management with a Federation of Semantic Wikis Remco de Boer, Consultant, ArchiXL Enterprise architectures hardly ever stand on their own. Most architectures extensively (re)use generic architectural knowledge such as reference architectures. But even such reference architectures are not solitary entities. There exist whole families of (reference) architectures, which may have hierarchical, layered relationships but also more intricate, network-like interdependences. Understanding, reusing, and extending these reference architectures becomes increasingly difficult. New and emerging technologies such as the semantic web and cloud-services may help us to overcome these problems. We present how a federation of semantic wiki's can be used for cloud-based management of enterprise architecture knowledge. By putting EA in the cloud, we create a network of architectural knowledge in which organisation-specific architectural decisions may be linked and traced to the reference architecture(s) used. We illustrate this by means of a case derived from the Dutch government. |

Systemic Approaches to Enterprise Modelling Patrick Hoverstadt, Partner, Fractal Consulting The systems thinking community has well proven approaches to modelling organisations. This talk addresses takes one of these - The Viable System Model (VSM) and its links to EA & BPM. Whether EA is about designing the architecture of the enterprise or modelling the organisation to improve the design of IT, we believe VSM has much to offer the EA community and potentially fills a void in the both the EA & BPM toolkits by providing a way of modelling large complex organisations systemically. We'll talk about several different sorts of VSM applications: planning IT in a pharmaceutical company, designing governance in an outsource partnership, information at a national level, information for NHS commissioning and planning a BPR project.

KEYNOTE: New Business Models Demand a Different Approach to Enterprise Architecture Enterprise architecture is at a crossroads. On the one hand we have the need to keep the lights on and maintain compliance and the enterprise systems we have worked with over the last several decades. On the other hand we have new services made available to business users and managers through web services and cloud based approaches that provide new ways of doing business. A challenge for enterprise architecture is managing the tensions between these two very different worlds. We must enable and support new ways of working, new business models and interactions whilst keeping the older centralised IT world alive and relevant. The Capgemini Immediate model brings these worlds together through a cloud based delivery model that integrates the new with the old. We will explore key drivers and innovative patterns that link old world centralised IT with new business models. |

Turning EA on itself: Using Business Architecture to Define the Practice of EA Daniel Onions, Senior Enterprise and Solution Architect EA is often characterised by the methods and tools that we have available, and the models that we produce, but should that be the real focus? This presentation will look at the practice of EA as a set of business services and requirements to deliver outcomes to the wider enterprise. In doing so we can better express the purpose of EA, better collaborate with other parts of the enterprise and better prioritise an EA practitioner's time. Delegates will learn:

Police Business Architecture: A Launch-pad for Collaboration and Cost-Saving Olliver Robinson, Enterprise Architecture Profession Lead, National Policing Improvement Agency This presentation is about one of the biggest enterprise architecture challenges imaginable: corralling over 43 police forces to make efficiency gains through re-use of nationally agreed business processes. Police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have to achieve ambitious annual cost reductions while maintaining front-line policing services for the safety of citizens. One way to reduce cost is to engineer better ROI from business applications which historically have consumed increasing budgets through localised growth and duplication. The argument that applications convergence first requires business process convergence has been won. But how to converge business processes when localisation and local political autonomy is the order of the day? The key is simplicity of approach. This presentation shows how success can be achieved in any enterprise through disciplined standards and good communication. |

Applying Enterprise Architecture Beyond the Enterprise Jane Chang, Enterprise Architect, British Gas In 2007 when much of the UK energy market was still sceptical about the take-off of smart metering, British Gas believed that the technology had reached its maturity and that smart metering would be the next biggest event in the energy market that would change their customers' world. Taking an Enterprise Architecture discipline, British Gas was able to prepare themselves for this industry change ahead of the competition. Since then, the UK Government has passed the legislature to mandate the roll-out of smart metering in the whole of UK. This presentation describes:

Examples of the Zachman Framework John Zachman, President, Zachman International For many years, I have argued that engineering an Enterprise is far different from building and running systems. Engineering an Enterprise requires single variable, "primitive" models, whereas building and running systems requires multiple variable, "composite" models. If you want the Enterprise to be "architected", then the composite implementation systems models must be created from components of primitive engineering architecture models. If the composite implementation models are created before any primitive models exist, then the Enterprise will be implemented (running systems), but NOT architected. The problem is, for the last 60 or 70 years, those of us who come from the information community have been solely focused on building and running systems (implementations) not on engineering Enterprises (architecture). We build and use composite models. We don't relate to primitive models because we don't build or use primitive models. This presentation argues the utility and necessity of Primitive Models for Enterprise Architecture by way of introducing the Case Study Example Primitive Models. |

Panel Session: Perspectives on Business Architecture Paul Harmon, BPTrends Associates Dan Jeavons, Group Process Architect, Shell International Sandy Kemsley, Independent Analyst, Kemsley Design Chris Potts, Corporate Strategist, Dominic Barrow The EA and BPM communities share an interest in Business Architecture. But what exactly is Business Architecture and who should be involved in designing it? Some treat Business Architecture as a structure upon which to hang IT requirements; others see it more as the design of the business itself. This panel session provides an opportunity for delegates and experts to debate the key elements and activities of Business Architecture, how it relates to other forms of architecture, and how it can best be applied in organisations as a discipline to improve business effectiveness. |
