and happy “the festival of your choice”.

I am very blessed to have a wonderful family and a wonderful life.  I wish all of you and yours the very best of the season and a very Happy New Year!

I am looking forward to a challenging 2008 and hope to write more often about the challenges and successes to come.

Cheers!

 

I have the honour to speak to the International Institute of Business Analysis (Vancouver, BC, Canada Chapter) tomorrow at a Lunch and Learn session.

I will be speaking about how we built a Strategic Practice group that uses EA as the framework to guide other practices like Security, Program Management and of course Business Analysis.  I will use the EA Model, I talked about in an older post to position how EA and BA fit for our organization.

Since we are still early in our development of these horizontal methodologies, I will be talking about how BAs’ requirements gathering become the source for our solutions architecture work. Over time, I hope we can grow our Business Analysis practice into a Business Architecture practice.

So if you had a chance to talk to a captive audience of BA’s, what would you say?

 

Found this funny video by skyscrapr.net on youtube.  It is a cartoon video and presents the basics of architecture – Enterprise, Solutions and Infrastructure; in a fun way, using the city planning metaphor.  I showed it to my wife and now she gets what I do!!
