Enterprise Architecture is fundamental for enabling an enterprise to assimilate internal and external changes in response to the dynamics and uncertainties of the information age environment. Enterprise architecture not only constitutes a baseline for managing change but also provides the mechanism by which the reality of the enterprise and its systems can be aligned with management intentions.

This updated workshop, based on the Zachman Framework V3.0, and incorporates actual modeling practice. The workshop consists of 6-8 hours of guided self-learning through a series of videos and assignments and culminates in a three-day instructor-led workshop. The workshop is based on actual Enterprise experience and is designed to give the participants hands-on experience creating both “Primitive” (architecture) models as well as “Composite” (implementation) models.

The workshop prepares delegates for both levels of the Zachman Certified- Enterprise Architect program: Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect Associate (Level1) and Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect Professional (Level 2).

The certification fee both Level 1 & Level 2 are included in the registration fee. The “Zachman Certified – Enterprise Architect” examination is a two hour, online examination that upon passing, results in the award of Enterprise Architect Associate (Level 1) Certification. Delegates will then subsequently be awarded the Enterprise Architect Associate (Level 2) Certification upon submitting a case study.

If you want to understand the “Complexity & Contradiction” in Enterprise Architecture and are struggling to manage a non-adaptive enterprise and dysfunctional systems, this will be an essential experience! Learn how an ontology allows you to make use of multiple frameworks (e.g. architecture, sales, software development, innovation, etc.) in an enterprise.

 

This course is available as a public course (face to face) or via live streaming.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the sense of urgency for aggressively pursuing Enterprise Architecture
  • Identify a comprehensive definition (description) of Enterprise Architecture
  • Differentiate between Enterprise Architecture from Systems Implementation
  • Differentiate an Ontology from Methodology
  • Utilizing Enterprise Architecture for operational decision making
  • Identify the elements for creating a strategy for reducing “time-to-market” for systems implementations to virtually zero
  • Create a strategy for integration beyond jurisdiction (Interoperability)
  • Identify architectural principles for meeting enterprise requirements
  • Develop traceability across the artifacts for impact analysis and change management
  • Employ primitive problem patterns to address complex issues facing any enterprise.

Course Outline

Setting the Context for Enterprise Architecture (EA)

  • The contribution of IT People to an Information Age Enterprise
  • Global Environment: Escalating Complexity and Escalating Change
  • Applying the Concept of Mass-Customization to the Enterprise

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture (The Zachman Framework V3.0)

The Zachman Framework is perhaps the most referenced in the industry.  This session provides participants with a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about its concept and utility, directly from the man who developed it. Discussions include version 3.0 of the framework and its evolution.

  • Definition of Enterprise Architecture
  • The Zachman Framework – Architecture Is Architecture Is Architecture
  • Ontologies Versus Methodologies

Workshop:  Row 1 Models: Defining enterprise scope and developing the enterprise lexicon

Workshop:  Row 2: Defining business concepts and business value

Workshop:  Row 3: Developing enterprise logic to support technology and implementation decisions.

Enterprise Engineering

  • Models from My Bookshelf – 75 years of experience (Implementation, Composite Models)
  • The Elegance of Primitives (Their essential contribution)
  • Enterprise Entropy – Removing Internal Cost of Operations
  • Enterprise Engineering Design Objectives
Alignment, Integration, Reusability, Flexibility, Interoperability
  • Reducing Cycle Time from Order to Implementations (Mass-Customization)
  • Implementation Practicalities
  • “Federated Architecture” (Integrating Beyond Jurisdictional Boundaries)
  • Migrating from Legacy to Architecture

Workshop: Using Primitives to create horizontal Integration and Vertical Transformation

Case Study: Application Rationalization Using Primitives

Workshop: Identify Framework Cells for Given Enterprise Problem Definitions

Workshop: Using Primitives to solve for enterprise entropy

Who It's For

The workshop is designed for enterprise professionals of every discipline including non-information disciplines as well as information disciplines. Although it is addressing technology issues, it is not a “technical” seminar. It addresses the subjects that both enterprise professionals and information professionals must understand to operate effectively in collaboration in the Information Age environment. 

Further, the seminar is appropriate for both management and non-management professionals. For management it clarifies the issues for decision purposes and enables more meaningful dialogue with and among the technology community. For operations professionals, it establishes the context for developing improved approaches and implementation strategies.

Typical delegates include:
  • CIOs
  • Enterprise Architects
  • Chief Architects
  • Business Architects
  • IT Architects
  • Process Architects
  • Application Architects
  • Solution Architects
  • Software Architects
  • Technology Architects
  • Data Architects
  • Business Analysts
  • System Analysts
  • IT Strategists
  • Business Strategists
  • Strategic Planners
  • Program Managers
  • Information Systems Management
  • Business Process Managers
  • Data, Applications, Technology Management
  • Consultants
Pre-Requisites
  • Domain / Business knowledge.
  • Experience in running and managing a department or business unit.
  • Ability to map the domain specific language (terminology) to the architecture specific language.
  • Architecture specification principles such as abstraction, refinement, composition, modelling, etc.
  • Experience in creating models (free hand or using a tool like MS Office or UML/BPMN).
