Sharpen Your Focus By Building An EA Practice Strategic Plan

Enterprise architects who focus exclusively on building architecture and ignore building their architecture practice are missing the opportunity to grow their influence and value. The result is often great architecture but little impact. To meet their true potential, architects should architect their program as well as the technology. Architects who take time to develop an overall EA practice strategy and manage that strategy on a daily basis position themselves to overcome organizational obstacles as well as grow their ability and capacity to handle larger and more-complex problems. Architects should "pay themselves first" by developing a strong EA practice strategic plan.
