” * Think long term and work short term
* Create road maps to meet the IT strategy
* Assist the organization to do better IT investment using EA
* Make recommendation using the road map. Assign system architects from the architecture team (EA & SA are in the same team) to the project team to ensure the EA recommendation works and adds value to the project.
* Collaborate with the operation team or project teams to understand the difficulties in implementing the recommendation and adjust/fine tune the recommendation accordingly for the future projects
* Rotate the system architect and enterprise architect periodically within the team
* Integrate the enterprise architecture (EA) with the SDLC processes to keep the EA information up to date all the time
* Be an internal consultant to the IT organization (operational, project, portfolio, governance teams and CIO office)
* Be practical and make it happen..”

However I think we have different views of what EA is. As you know then every organization has an Enterprise Architecture. The question becomes how well the organization knows of how to make use of the Enterprise Architecture to gain a competitive advantage.

Enterprise Architecture works for everyone; however it is the policies and commitment to understand and apply the Enterprise Architecture Framework and repository.

Never the less it is an interesting blog post.
