Why Together?
Burlton, Ross and Zachman are the 'three amigos' of enterprise design. They believe there needs to be a fundamentally new way of working the business/IT partnership. Lip service isn't enough - the business needs to put itself back in the driver's seat.
Each of the three amigos has spent many decades innovating and fine-tuning an important piece of the enterprise-design puzzle. Each believes real success comes only through carefully planned approaches that work with one another. Each feels a sense of real urgency about the need for North American organizations to do things better. And each is a great communicator.
Why Now?
Will the next management fad or silver bullet in IT solve all your strategic and tactical problems? Have they ever?! Existing practices for planning and deploying IT-based solutions haven't really worked for a good while. It's time for new solutions that are logical, aligned and integrated!
What's at stake? Literally, the future success, if not the very survival of your company. Change is happening faster and faster every day. The winners in today's world are the ones who can plan and craft for rapid change in the face of huge complexity. Your business simply can't afford not to shift gears - and soon! You'll never be able to simply code your way into the future!
Find out what you need to know about designing the enterprise for rapid change ...
Spend a day with the world-class thought leaders on business innovation through business architecture and business-driven requirements and planning. Find out what 'doing the right things in the right way' really means. Find out how your company can put the "business" back in "business processes," "business rules," and "business architecture."
Find out how your business can ...
- Regain control of its planning, development, and transformation practices.
- Architect and engineer itself for maximum agility.
- Make the most of its strategic investment in IT.
