TOGAF®: From Business Needs to a Practical Enterprise Architecture

27
Oct
Time: 11.00 Location: Online Type: Webinar Language:

Every organisation relies on technology to deliver its services. But how do you know which technology you actually need? And how do you make sure today’s investments support where your organisation needs to be tomorrow?

Enterprise Architecture helps organisations answer these questions by connecting business needs, technology, architecture and implementation.

In this practical webinar, our TOGAF® trainer Joost Bertrem will introduce the role of Enterprise Architecture and show how TOGAF® can help organisations optimise fragmented environments, align change with strategic direction and create a clear roadmap from the current state to the future state.

We will look at how Enterprise Architecture can help organisations connect strategy, business, data, technology and investments, while creating an integrated environment that supports the delivery of business strategy and remains responsive to change.

We have also invited Nicolas Despontin, an Enterpise Architect, who has recently followed a TOGAF® course with QRP International and applied Enterprise Architecture in practice. He will share his experience, challenges he faced and how eventually he has translated the principles into their organisation.

From current state to future state: creating an enterprise roadman

Enterprise Architecture provides a view of the organisation that helps manage complexity, support continuous change and manage the risks of unintended consequences.

By describing both the current state and the desired future state, organisations can identify the gaps between them and create an enterprise roadmap to guide the change.

During the session, we will explore how Enterprise Architecture can help:

  • Link strategy, business, data, technology and investments
  • Optimise fragmented legacy processes and technologies into a more integrated environment
  • Combine legacy environments with emerging technologies and new opportunities
  • Align change activities with the strategic direction of the organisation
  • Identify the optimal path to realise expected value
  • Create a roadmap from the current state to the future state

Real-life case: From training to implementation

Theory is only useful when it can be applied.

To demonstrate what this looks like in practice, we have invited a professional who recently followed a TOGAF® course with QRP International to share his experience.

The practical case he will share, will provide an opportunity to see how the concepts discussed during the webinar can translate into real organisational change.

Why Attend?

Technology investments can be significant, complex and difficult to reverse. Enterprise Architecture provides a way to make those decisions with a clearer view of the organisation’s needs, its current environment and its future direction.

By taking a holistic view across the enterprise, EA can help organisations move beyond fragmented processes and technology towards an integrated environment that supports business strategy and enables continuous change.
