General
The importance of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is undisputed, especially when it comes to managing complex transformations. However, it is often difficult for business and IT decision makers to grasp the concrete benefits of EA for the organization and to communicate them in a way that everyone can understand. This is where our EA Executive Briefing can be very useful. It provides managers and other key stakeholders with a concise but well-founded insight into the topic and facilitates the communication of the value contribution of Business, Enterprise, and IT Architecture within the organization.
Course Content
The briefing provides a concise and illustrative introduction to Enterprise Architecture (EA). It is particularly well suited for providing a basic understanding and communicating the value of EA to top managers and other key stakeholders within the organization. Specifically, the briefing covers the following topics:
- Introduction and definition of basic EA terminology
- Presentation of key use cases (including stakeholders and value contribution)
- Overview of the structure and organization of an EA practice
