2) Module1: Enterprise Architecture for Managers and IT
What you'll learn
- At the end of the Course, you will be able to:
- Understand why the development of systems for the future, that are able to change rapidly as the business changes, should be based on the Strategic Business Plans defined by senior management for that future.
- Refine an existing Strategic Business Plan, or develop a new Strategic Business Plan in only 3- to 5-days.
- Use a Strategic Business Plan to develop detailed Tactical Business Plans for implementation in different Business Units in only 3- to 5-days.
- Understand how a Strategic Data Model (as a picture of the business) can be developed in a Facilitated session of only 2-days by business managers and business experts.
- Understand how these business managers and business experts do not need technical knowledge of data modeling, but do need (and already have) detailed knowledge of the business and its business rules.
- Understand how starting from their Strategic Business Plan, databases and systems for priority business processes can be delivered into production rapidly, in 3-month increments of increasing functionality.
- Appreciate the rapid delivery results of four real-world Enterprise Architecture projects that developed and analysed their strategic data model in a total of 15- to 20-days, with an Enterprise Architecture Portfolio Plan (EAPP) derived to manage the rapid completion – in 3-month incremental deliveries - of the entire Enterprise Architecture project for each organisation.

Description
Overview: This Module 1 Course represents Day 1 of the Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Architecture Workshop. It introduces methods for transforming business plans into strategic data models – for delivery into production of priority, reusable, standardized processes comprising databases and systems: rapidly, in 3-month increments of increasing functionality. These reusable processes, when implemented, can save large organisations hundreds of millions of dollars in annual operating costs.
The Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Architecture Workshop comprises three Modules. Each Module is a separate Udemy Course. The training delivered in this workshop represents a full University year of training in the discipline of Enterprise Architecture. These Modules (Courses) correspond to days in the workshop (or University semesters) as follows:
- [Day 1] Module 1: Introduction to Enterprise Architecture for Managers & IT (1 Semester)
- [Days 2 – 4] Module 2: Rapid Delivery Methods for Enterprise Architecture (2 Semesters)
- [Day 5] Module 3: Rapid Delivery Technologies for Enterprise Architecture (1 Semester)
Audience: This Course (Module 1) is directed to an audience of: senior-level business managers (CEOs, COOs, CFOs); Government Program managers; middle-level business managers; operational business managers; business experts; IT experts (CIOs, IT managers, CTOs); , data modelers, systems analysts, dara modelers or developers.
Prerequisites: This Course (Module 1) is a prerequisite for Module 2 and Module 3 Courses. It does not require any prior knowledge of business planning or computers.

Instructor
Clive Finkelstein has now retired after more than 50 years in the IT Industry, in Australia and the USA. From 1976 - 1980 he developed, in Australia with his company IInformation Engineering Services Pty Ltd)IES), the Information Engineering (IE) methodology. IE was popularised worldwide in the 1980s following publication of the co-authored book by: James Martin and Clive Finkelstein, Information Engineering, Savant Institute, Carnforth: Lancs (Nov 1981). This is the book that started the IE Revolution of the 1980s.
From 1995 – 2000, Clive Finkelstein developed an enhanced version of IE, called: Enterprise Engineering. He developed this methodology for the rapid delivery of Enterprise Architecture (EA) into production as databases and systems, in 3-month increments of increasing functionality. Enterprise Engineering is based on the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture that was earlier developed by John Zachman. Clive teaches the rapid EA delivery Enterprise Engineering discipline personally in his Udemy Courses and Workshops:
