8:30am-9:15am: The Value of Using Business Capabilities to Guide Your IT Evolution
Dan Hebda, Chief Strategy Officer, Mega
There’s a difference between being busy and being productive. Creating diagrams and updating processes can become shelfware if they do not show how they create a business outcome, or worse yet, after many iterations they may end up having nothing to do with overall enterprise strategy. Get out of this sinkhole and learn how to use business capability maps to guide your IT evolution. Design architectures that specifically improve a measure of a capability, stay ahead of Agile developments, and ultimately ensure resilience.
In this session you will learn how to:
- Understand strategic objectives using business architecture
- Plan business capabilities for each transformation stage along with objectives
- Align IT projects to business goals

9:15am-10:00am: How to Restart and Mature an EA Practice
Marina Dolinko, Enterprise Architect, National Restaurant Association
According to the Enterprise Architecture Book of Knowledge (EABOK), Enterprise Architecture “framework successfully combines people, data and technology to show a comprehensive view of the inter-relationships within an information technology organization.”
Thus, when you are inspired to restart and mature EA practice in your organization, EA framework becomes a key to success.
Today, we will talk about practical steps that Enterprise Architects can take to create such framework to overcome various challenges – from a deficit of tools to the lack of understanding the values EA brings to the company. We will talk about the ways to cooperate with business and technology partners, and how to build trust in EA.

Michelle Niedernhuber, Product Marketing Manager, LeanIX
70% of all transformations fail – mostly rooted in missing preparation at start, a lack of monitoring from ideation to implementation, or a late identification of constraints and risks. LeanIX’s presentation offers insights into major transformations of IT landscapes (e.g. Cloud Transformations, Global ERP transformations, Modernizing Monoliths) and shows how Architects can help to drive transformations in budget, time, and quality.

Enterprises are reinventing their approach to application development, moving some applications fully to the public cloud, delivering others via on premise deployments, and frequently mixing both for reasons including security and cost management. A hybrid cloud environment like this raises familiar questions with a new spin.
- How do you encourage your teams to continuously innovate and deliver consistent and unparalleled value to your users?
- How does platform modularity support greater business agility?
- How can the hybrid cloud help improve a company’s ability to innovate and win?
This session will highlight 5 emerging areas of focus to help business and IT leaders answer those questions.
