EAM Think Tank
Does the complexity of enterprise architect management (EAM) sometimes blur your view of what’s really important? Facilitating orientation and increasing clarity has to be the primary aim. Here, training courses are useful, as are the correct EAM tools – but the most useful thing of all is talking to other experts. That’s why we founded our EAM Think Tank in June 2007. It is now a valued institution for company representatives from various sectors who use it to exchange their experiences in the field of EAM and related disciplines.
The specific advantages of the EAM Think Tank:
- You get to meet EAM actors and experts with whom you can discuss benefits, experience, best practices, and lessons learned in the field of enterprise architecture management.
- You can build your personal network – across companies and even industries.
- You will keep up-to-date with know-how and find out about current studies from the business and scientific communities.
- You’ll find out how to mix theory and practice and how shared instruments for the management of an enterprise architecture can be developed (e.g. business case, role descriptions, tasks and processes, EAM key figure system, and so on).
When this opportunity is ideal for you:
If you’re the representative of a medium-sized to large, internationally active company and already have an architecture management system or are in the process of implementing one. You’ll be in good company, since the participants come from diverse business and IT fields, including:
- Directors, divisional directors, heads of strategic business units
- Managers from the strategic business planning, business process management, and organizational management areas
- Quality managers, product portfolio managers, and similar roles
- CIOs, heads of IT
- IT strategists, (enterprise) architects, and people in similar roles
Join our group! It’s really worth the effort, since with each new participant, our wealth of experience increases – and this is what you benefit from above all. We hope you’ll join us!
