Presentations
The NASCIO Enterprise Architecture Value Chain
NASCIO has published the EA Value Chain which provides a description of enterprise architecture as a holistic, comprehensive view of the enterprise – in this case the enterprise is typically state government. Enterprise architecture in this view is more of a management engineering discipline for managing the entire enterprise. Information technology is certainly a valued aspect of enterprise architecture. However, information technology is not the only focus. This definition of enterprise architecture has other implications as well. These include the roles of the Chief Information Officer and the Chief Enterprise Architect. The role of Chief Enterprise Architect is becoming one of Strategic Planner – or member of the Strategic Planning Team. All organizations are not necessarily ready for the redefinition of these roles nor are they ready for this definition of enterprise architecture. Much of government and business are stepping up to the plate in recognizing the need for continual transformation. An Enterprise Architecture Operating Discipline can provide the path for managing the complexities associated with this transformation as a change management methodology.

CLOSING KEYNOTE: Enterprise Architecture Practice - A US Viewpoint
This presentation will provide a general overview of the state of enterprise architecture in the U.S. This survey will include both business and government, but will have more information on the progress within government in adopting and implementing enterprise architecture discipline. The results of recent surveys of the states will be presented along with discussion regarding the adoption rate of enterprise architecture across state government. Examples of the current focus of enterprise architecture will be presented along with some discussion regarding where organizations need to be moving in their enterprise architecture efforts.
