Open group conference

In these recessionary times, taking short term view and conserving cash is the mantra. However negligence of architectural matters and short term view, actually adds to long term woes and costs. The way you would not stop essential maintenance of critical components, you must keep maintaining your enterprise architecture. Architectural spend prepares your IT organisation for long term survival and efficiency. However winning this argument is not easy.

This week I will be speaking at The Open Group's Enterprise Architecture Practitioner's conference about my experiences on how to navigate architectural transformations through sanctioning processes in these tough times. There is another panel discussion on same subject. If any of the readers are around, I would be happy to meet up in person.
