Overview
This seminar will explore how to strategically implement Enterprise Architecture. It will look at how to bring together two apparently opposing conditions - the short term need to deliver a solution on time and within budget, and the long term adaptability requirements of the enterprise. The course examines the underlying constructs of the Zachman Framework and the implications of 'Thinking Zachman' to give a more balanced view of the entire enterprise.

Given that architecting an Enterprise is fundamental to the ongoing success of an organisation, this course has attempted to bring real world examples of what to do and not to do. The blending of consulting situations with the theory of the Zachman approach yields a most interesting set of practical guideposts to those working on engineering the enterprise.

Learning Objectives

  • To enable the participant to use the framework as a tool for thinking about business and technology
  • To consider framework implications for integration when making enterprise design decisions
  • To understand the underlying framework constructs of fractals and other frameworks
  • To be able to select appropriate implementation strategies for the delegate's organisation and explain the rationale for them
  • To understand how implementation composites can be assembled from primitive cell elements
  • To review framework implementations in business, not for profit and government situations

Audience
This course is directed at those in the management group who need to have a good understanding of the Zachman Framework in order to direct an implementation of enterprise architecture. Those with an information resource management and data administration background will find this course essential to fitting their skills into the enterprise jigsaw puzzle. Object oriented people will find the modelling construct changes refreshing while at the same time be challenged by the binding issues. Project managers on the other hand will find the some unique ideas of architecture and delivery. Business managers will find their role as fundamental to the architecture process. All in all we have attempted to meet the management needs of those serious about the Zachman architecture.

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

Delegates should have some knowledge of Enterprise Architecture. For those who do not, attendance of the two day seminar, Zachman Enterprise Architecture Part 1: Framework Fundamentals, presented by John Zachman, is highly recommended.
