EA Profession: What’s Changing and What’s Not?
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an immature discipline and possibly getting even more immature. As the scope of EA extends beyond the areas that IT-centric efforts are prepared for (data, app, infrastructure), the competency, credibility and effectiveness of an EA team may decrease. However, there are a variety of ways to increase these characteristics for EA teams, regardless of the stage of maturity in which you may find yourself. Join Tim Westbrock for a lively discussion about his assessment on the state of the EA profession, what he sees going on in the industry that helps and hinders the evolution of the EA profession, and what else to expect in the future.

EAdirections Webinar: Putting the E in TOGAF DATE: September 4, 2008 A number of EA practitioners have concluded that TOGAF is not an effective framework (and ADM is not an effective methodology) for Enterprise(wide) Architecture. TOGAF does not cover aligning long-term corporate strategy with IT, and positions EA as a reactive, rather than proactive, approach. In fairness, many have expressed similar concerns about other EA frameworks and methodologies. This webinar explores the “enterprise-ishness” of TOGAF. We discuss our experiences and practical techniques for extending TOGAF (and other frameworks) to significantly increase its effectiveness across the Enterprise. If you are a Chief Architect or IT manager evaluating EA frameworks, or if you are struggling to apply TOGAF (or another framework), on an enterprise-wide basis, then this webinar is for you. Topics will include:

EA Practitioner's Cheatsheet: 12 Ideas You Can Use Today To Improve Your Team's Effectiveness DATE: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 When EA and SOA Worlds Collide DATE: Thursday, July 19, 2007
TIME: 2:00 PM (Eastern Time) / 11:00 AM (Pacific Time) Service-oriented architecture (SOA) continues to dominate industry press and IT budgets. At the same time, Enterprise Architecture (EA) programs continue to evolve and increase effectiveness. But when the EA program meets the SOA project, it is somewhat more like worlds colliding, than the symbiotic, collaborative experience that is expected. EAdirections and guest SOA expert, David Linthicum discussed how to bring the EA program and SOA projects together to increase the quality, depth and penetration of service-orientation in your enterprise. David Linthicum brings many years of expertise and success with enterprise application integration and SOA design, planning and implementation. David will share some of his insights into the best approach and best practices for building a Service-Oriented Architecture. The EAdirections team brings a world-class approach to establishing, creating and maintaining Enterprise Architecture. Their insights go beyond positioning EA as an IT planning function, but rather as a business transformation method. Together, EAdirections and David Linthicum will debate and discuss what is necessary for a more collaborative relationship between SOA and EA practitioners.
