Develop Business-Focused And Strategic EA Organizations

This report outlines the organizational structures, roles, and skills you'll need to make sure that your enterprise architecture (EA) program is strategic, business-focused, and pragmatic. Building a high-performance EA practice requires an appreciation for EA's benefits — both those that it's already achieving and those that it has the potential to achieve. It also requires a carefully crafted vision and the strategy to achieve that vision. But the bottom line for your EA effort is the people in your EA practice. Architects' skills and the formal structures you use to engage those skills are what make the difference between a good idea and great execution.
