http://agendabuilder.gartner.com/EA7/RSS/SessionList.aspx Enterprise Architecture plays a key role in an organization's competitive advantage - but it's a new game, with new rules. It needs to be more integrated with the business. It needs to be more flexible. It needs to incorporate data management, business processes, mobility, security, compliance, among its many layers. en-US Copyright 2009 Gartner, Inc. All rights reserved.

Given the decades of struggle to establish the value of EA, clearly a new approach is needed. It starts with the understanding that enterprise architects are first and foremost "change agents." This leads directly to a "less is more" approach, in which fewer but more essential EA constraints enable greater simplicity and agility where it matters most. Such a "less is more" approach turns the traditional top-down command-and-control approach to architecture on its head, resulting in a middle-out inversion of control.

The potential for conflicting objectives and waste of resources is high, just as enterprises need to meet the challenges of changing customer demands, evolving regulatory environments and increasingly competitive markets. Trying to fulfill the requirements of too many masters can place the CIO - and the entire IT organization - at risk, for lack of sufficient resources. A unified approach to strategy and execution is required, and EA can lead the way.

These issues, if not addressed, will be disastrous for enterprise architecture teams, with a potential ripple effect into both IT and the business. Most key issues deal with non-technical concerns, and how each concern is addressed varies with each organization. In this presentation: we’ll explore each issue and provide approaches to addressing them based upon your organization’s personality profile characteristics. (1 hr) Robert A.

How does SOA fit into the EA picture? How can it help make EA more valuable? Does SOA need to be part of a broader EA? Hear from our panelists -- their firsthand experience and lessons learned, and ask them your own SOA/EA questions.

All areas of EA are increasingly enabled using a service-oriented approach. This session will describe a full EA framework view of services, from business process services (shared function), information services (shared information), technical services (shared infrastructure) and, finally, solutions including applications and application services (shared systems). With service orientation, we recommend taking a portfolio approach, with separate views of each type of service, yet with the ability to map dependencies across these portfolios -- a new focus of EA repository and other tools.

Enterprise architects are at a critical juncture where technology and business meet, and where transformation can effectively, visibly take place. But in order to transform the business, you first need to know the business. How your business makes money, what it stands for and where it is going. Technical standards and framework diagrams are nice, but in order to be an agent of transformation, your first mission is to look at EA from a CEO point of view. In this keynote, celebrated author and business advisor Ram Charan will explain how to learn to take the CEO perspective, and the skills and behaviors that will help you execute on his – and your – strategy.

Enterprise architecture (EA) can provide an umbrella approach to identify such investment criteria for project portfolio management (PPM). By providing a framework and process to discuss the future state of project deliverables, EA provides a business-driven, enterprise-level methodology to determining project value outside of single-project business cases. All this additional information will improve PPM decision making. (1 hr) Robert A.

Rockefeller, turn disasters into opportunities, unfortunately, in the wrong hands, great opportunities can be turned into unmitigated disasters. Such is the case of the brilliant, experienced, but “irritating” architect who led a multi-year effort that wasted millions of dollars and set his organization’s EA clock significantly back in time. This session will demonstrate how this architect misread the business context, power dynamics and the role of EA.

Within the past year, Safeco implemented a stronger, centralized architecture organization that quickly delivered business value. Today, architecture is deeply embedded in the strategic planning process and is becoming an integral part of how IT delivers solutions to the business. Success stems from aligning the team's charter to Safeco's business goals and approach, focusing on the process and discipline of architecture, and integrating architecture into core delivery processes.
