Enterprise Architecture Leads Business Transformation Through Disruption
Here and now, enterprise architects have the opportunity to grow and transform their business. A confluence of events like never before presents an unprecedented opportunity for EA practitioners to fill the gap between strategy and execution: the adoption of new business models; the nexus of cloud, social, big data and mobile technologies; and management expectations that EA must deliver business value. Now is the time to make the first move — to engage peers, customers, partners and employees in new and different ways.
The Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit 2012 will provide you with the actionable advice and leading edge insights to enable you to start, renew or restart your EA efforts with a focus on delivering business value, growth and transformation. Sessions will include critical EA competencies: business strategy integration, stakeholder engagement, measurement, effective communication and governance.
