The Future of Enterprise Architecture - Towards the Coherent Enterprise

1. John Gøtze The Future of Enterprise Architecture- Towards the Coherent Enterprise

2. In the Beginning ... • Imagine an enterprise that had not heard of EA. • It is operational (sort of)‏ • It produces and uses information (there are artefacts) • No enterprise wide coherence (at best accidental coherence)‏ Business EA Not applied IT Existing Enterprise

4. Information Indecision • Too much information • Too much complexity • Too many challenges • Too little time • Business Intelligence vs. Intelligent Business

5. Conditions • The Constancy of Change • Lewis Caroll’s Red Queen: "in this place it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” • Neurath's Boat • ”We are like sailors who on the open sea must reconstruct their ship but are never able to start afresh from the bottom.”

6. Disruption

7. = 0 Alignment ”Remember Your Vector Math!”

8. Agility

9. Assurance

10. EA = ? • Everything Aligned • Enabled Agility • Embedded Assurance • ... Coherency Management 10

17. Occam's Razor • "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best."

18. Ross, Weill & Robertson:“Enterprise Architecture as Strategy”

19. Five elements • Strategic Initiatives • Operating Model • Enterprise Architecture • Engagement Model • Foundation for execution • The IT infrastructure and digitized business processes automating a company’s core capabilities.

20. Operating Model

21. Operating Model • Single point of contact • Begins with customers • Synergy and Responsiveness • Begins with processes, customers and shared services • Economies of scale • Begins with shared services • Scalability • Begins with processes

26. Foundation Architecture EA 1.0 • Use of EA to ensure Alignment of Business & IT • Capture Understanding of Business • Target: Systems Architecture and Design • Valuable and the most practiced form of EA Understand the Business Business Captured and Designed Captured Not applied IT Design Systems EA Addition Existing Enterprise

27. EA Methodology EA Best Practices EA Framework EA Artifacts EA Tools & Repository ”Complete” EA Approach • A “complete” EA approach must have all of these elements, which are specifically designed to work together in the context of the (IT) governance process.

30. Foundation Architecture • Provides Excellent Value • Some implementations are simply IT Architecture at the Enterprise Level • In some cases this is all you need for a particular investment.

36. EA Transition Planning An enterprise architecture is in continual transition as implementation and upgrade projects are completed. Needs coordination, prioritization, and oversight. ”We need a plan”.

37. Forward-Looking Architecture • One of the purposes of an EA program is to develop future views of the architecture

38. EA is (like) Urban Planning • Many stakeholders • Many layers • Big projects • Money • Time • Extent • A “discipline” • Science • Practice

39. Enterprise Architecture 2.0 • Approaches can scale from local to global. • CEO wants to own and use the architecture. • Integrates Strategic, Business, and Technology Planning. • Moving from Documentation to Analysis, to Design -- supported by better tools/artifacts. • More standards on terms and methods from international and national bodies. • More case studies of good and bad EA in the public and private sector. 39

40. Non-IT use of EA Support Coherence Generally (e.g. Policy Alignment)‏ Enables ‘Enterprise Engineering’ Less practiced form but arguably more valuable than foundation Extended Architecture EA 2.0 Design Business Captured and Designed Business Captured Not applied IT Design Systems EA Addition Existing Enterprise

41. Traditional Business Architecture: Capturing business requirements to build systems Results in solutions aligned to business New Business Architecture: Design the business to achieve desired business outcomes Results in business aligned to purpose Extended Architecture Think business “Purpose” not just business “Process”

42. The use of EA by non-IT and IT in normal processes. Architecture is already there, so an enterprise’s architecture should NOT be developed as a project. It should be leveraged. Find these key descriptive processes, apply EA structure to those artefacts and enable alignment. Embedded Architecture EA 3.0 Align Those Doing Business Design Business Captured and Designed Captured Structured IT EA Addition Align Those Doing IT Design Existing Enterprise

43. Embedded Architecture • Implications • EA becomes the task of the CxO Leaders • Alignment Support is the Chief Architect’s Responsibility • 'Built-Out' effort gets reduced because we get to reuse 'Built-In' artefacts. Example: When starting transformation of a policy center because of new political direction we would: Previously – Begin the process of properly capturing the “As Is”. Now – We simply get the “As Is” from the artefacts updated through regular process (e.g. Annual Plans, Budgets…). Motto: Find It, Structure It, and Align It

44. Balanced EA Ubiquitous, embedded architecture ”Way of Life” Living architecture, ever-green Solid foundation Strategic alignment Alignment, Agility AND Assurance Coherent enterprise
