1-Day Seminar

Designing the Enterprise for Rapid Change
A One Day Strategic Briefing by the '3 Amigos'

John Zachman, Roger Burlton and Ron Ross on today's most urgent
business and IT issues

Overview
Are you concerned about how your business and its IT systems can cope with the accelerating rate of change?

If you are involved in where your company's business processes and IT architecture are going, you don't want to miss this one-day event on ...

  • Enterprise Architecture Planning
  • Enterprise Business Process Management
  • Enterprise Decision Management and Business Rules

Burlton, Ross and Zachman are the 'three amigos' of enterprise design. They believe there needs to be a fundamentally new way of working the business/IT partnership. Lip service isn't enough - the business needs to put itself back in the driver's seat.

Each has spent many decades innovating and fine-tuning an important piece of the enterprise-design puzzle. Each believes real success comes only through carefully planned approaches that work with one another. Each feels a sense of real urgency about the need for organizations to do things better. And each is a great communicator.

Will the next management fad or silver bullet in IT solve all your strategic and tactical problems? Have they ever?! Existing practices for planning and deploying IT-based solutions haven't really worked for a good while. It's time for new solutions that are logical, aligned and integrated!

What's at stake? Literally, the future success, if not the very survival of your company. Change is happening faster and faster every day. The winners in today's world are the ones who can plan and craft for rapid change in the face of huge complexity. Your business simply can't afford not to shift gears - and soon! You'll never be able to simply code your way into the future!
