Presentation
What does the Actionable Enterprise Architecture team look like?
The Global 2000 companies are recognizing that the EA teams have a larger responsibility to the business than just creating future state models. Enterprise companies are holding accountable the Enterprise Architecture team for creating and maintaining the “Answer Machine” for strategic planning of the business. More and more, businesses are looking for the EA team to create and manage the aggregated view of the enterprise as the authoritative source of information for visibility, alignment and optimization.

We’ll discuss today’s successful Actionable Enterprise Architecture teams, and their role as a cornerstone of comprehensive, meaningful visibility to the enterprise.

We will explore each of the different roles within the EA team, their responsibilities and needs, problems and goals.

We will conclude by defining the functional capabilities of an EA Platform necessary to truly extend from future state modeling to transforming the EA team into the corporate “Answer Machine”.
