Agenda Tracks

Recovery. Resurgence. Growth.
Our three-track agenda is designed to help you deepen and expand that unique perspective so that you can position yourself as a forward-thinking leader, help realize the business's vision and prepare your organization for new opportunities in the coming recovery. At a time when it is absolutely vital to prove the value of every initiative, the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit will help you exploit EA's leverage to drive success now and in the future.

Track 1: The Essential Architect
The essential architect speaks directly to the heart of what being an architect is about: pragmatic, action oriented, and facilitating change in their business. It's not about the basics, it's about the foundational elements of what it takes to select, create, and implement all viewpoints of enterprise architecture. All practitioners are not just looking to plan the future state; they're looking to deliver the right things that have an impact today. This track embodies the knowledge that all practitioners rely upon.

Track 2: The Business Driver
Enterprise architecture must be applied to have value. Enterprise architects need to understand the leading trends on Gartner's radar that will drive technology and business change in the next few years. This track looks at the emerging opportunities for organizations from optimizing business processes to leveraging the cloud, this track is about the practical application of enterprise architecture to drive business change.

Track 3: The Emerging Innovator
The emerging innovator is tomorrow's EA leader today, applying new approaches and styles of EA under varying business conditions. This track will not only look at new trends but will look at some of the anti-trends in EA such as the revolt against frameworks, and the need to scale back EA programs and how to avoid death by architecture.
