- Each architect is costing you about $200k AUD p/a.
- For an average architectural team, that is $1M AUD p/a.
- What do you get for your $1M?
- Do you get enough in return to justify why you should have an enterprise architectural practice?
- Do you know what value you can get from a consistently high-performing EA practice?
We do at PracticalEA.com
Architects can return value at 2 different levels:
1.Supporting IT Delivery with Operational Architecture, delivering proven designs, minimising duplication, and, where IT debt must exist, it is managed to become the trusted guardians of the IT landscape.
2.Driving Strategy and Transformation with Enterprise Architecture that is aligned with Business strategy and needs.
We believe that Supporting IT Delivery is critical to gaining trust as architects who know and can execute high-value work. Only then can this trust be leveraged to effectively drive Strategy and Transformation through enterprise architecture.
The value delivered by an architecture team is not abstract. It can be measured using defined metrics that drive behaviours in the right direction to maximise value for the organisation. Once again, we believe that the metrics you use and therefore the behaviours you drive should be aligned with the architectural stage you are at. We have tailored the metrics to align with each architectural stage.
PracticalEA.com is the place for architects to learn in a safe and confidential environment.
We appreciate that every organisation is different, with its own needs, drivers, systems, and problems. But we know that the processes and methods used in architecture are repeatable and can provide consistent value to your organisation.
We also know that many architecture practices may not be where they want to be, not because the architects are not skilled, but because they lack access to a place where they can learn what they need.
If, like me, you have given up on the traditional, confusing frameworks that serve only themselves and provide only verbose and confusing advice that you cannot follow. They deliberately include everything, but in reality tell you nothing.
PracticalEA.com is not a traditional framework. It is designed for architects like you who need to reach the next level of knowledge as quickly as possible.
We appreciate that architectural practices operate at different levels of architectural maturity. We also know how hard it is to improve your maturity stage. We have created content for 4 stages of maturity, based on your current stage, so you can progress to the next stage with only the information you need.
We have listened to what architects have said. And so we have created an MVP Beginners Guide to get those who want the basics without having to read a 1000 page manual.
But this online learning course is not just for those just starting out. This course is also for intermediate- and specialist-level architects seeking to cross-skill into another architectural discipline. E.g. Solution Architect to Enterprise Architect. Integration Architect to Solution Architect.
But don’t just take our word for it. Follow this link and find out for yourself.
We look forward to seeing you.
