ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE FOR MANAGERS
1-Day Public or In-house Course for Management, to achieve Rapid
Delivery of Enterprise Architecture Presented by
Clive Finkelstein
Contents
Introduction
With the rapid pace of change today, the need for transformation from today's inflexible business environment to an agile enterprise that can change direction rapidly has never been greater. Yet the structures, processes and systems that we have today are inflexible: they are incapable of rapid change. Business methods for
Balanced Scorecard, Governance Analysis and Business Transformation Enablement
are needed that support rapid business change – with systems that are directly aligned so they also change in lock-step. This is both a business problem and a computer problem. It needs strategic direction from senior management and strategic planners, with these directions then translated into rapid action by your business experts working with your IT experts.
