EA Employed

Source : Click Here

Have you ever thought about employing an Enterprise Architect to your organization?What are the skills you are looking for and how would you approach this?Some organizations might have a career path in place with a set of qualifications and experiences required to be an Enterprise Architect while some organizations have no clue what to look for.Who is right?
This article discusses on what everyone is running behind and how they might fall short on key aspects on choosing an Enterprise Architect.The EA position should encompass technical and strategic skills but also innovative and practical.Cloud,data,services and mobility are shaking up the stack and the steps that can be taken as a CIO to mitigate the challenges and build a successful EA function :

  • Lookout for blended technology executives
  • Make them as senior as you can
  • Balance their work
From what I have noticed it is true EA executives have the broad range of skills but something definitely lacks in each case.It is either the organization is unable to utilize their potentials or the candidates working towards the EA modules are more technical driven and often confuse the EA aspects to be far related from business but more software focused.It is not true in all cases there are scenarios where well qualified architects are taking up roles to lead the organization and bring about a remarkable transformation.So the selection process should define the expectations and experiences required to make sure an Enterprise Architect is well placed.
