Seminar Overview
This is a day for
business leaders and their lead architects to cross to the other side of
the divide and build the strategy-technology bridge that will
fundamentally change the path of strategy implementation.
Whether we seek to lead
through innovation, customer intimacy or operational excellence,
architecture is the essential foundation for agility, responsiveness and
effectiveness.
Architecture provides
that clear line-of-sight from strategic intent to implementation, and
from code to strategy.

Learn what architecture needs from
strategy and what strategy can gain from architecture.
-
Learn how to connect the dots from
strategy to business capabilities to products and services to customer
value.
-
Learn how to make
architecture the platform for strategic advantage.

Motivation
Why We Need to Bridge the Business/Technology Alignment
Gap
In today’s decentralized organizations, with high value
being (appropriately) placed on individual creativity and contribution,
everyone makes strategic decisions as part of their day-to-day job.
Without architecture to guide and align these decisions, however, these
decisions tend to be at odds and the whole is not greater than the sum
of the parts.
Architecture is what provides the
context for all the individual technical decisions to be aligned with
the vision and strategic direction. It is what provides focus and
leverage, and concentration of energy, powering the technology
capability essential to execution of the business strategy.
See
Enterprise Architecture as Capabilities Architecture for an
introduction to our approach to connecting business strategy and
enterprise architecture.
Audience

Enterprise Architects, business unit managers and chief
architects, product portfolio managers and senior product line
