The enterpreauners, here today wish to be
up there tomorrow. Each one of them wishes to grow and each one of them has a
vision about growth. The path up is not easy to tread. It requires courage and
clarity of vision. Clarity of vision brings employees to know what they must
know and what is it that the top management desires them to do. Assigning a
purpose to the vision gives it a direction. TOGAF practices teach that the
director of this vision of growth will be someone who has received TOGAF certification namely, enterprise architect.
What is it that enterprise architects do?
To start with these are the professionals who actually study each and every
aspect of future vision. The goals set by the top management bring the future target
in picture. Challenges required to be met to accomplish these goals bring
stretching of this vision. Enterprise architects design the strategy to bring a
process to the vision. In other words
the enterprise architects strip the vision apart to know exactly what the
future target is. TOGAF course will enlighten you on the aspects of vision and
its underlying meanings.
Thereafter, the enterprise architects begin
to understand the working of the organisation. What is it exactly that the
organisation does? This question is answered by way of data collection from
almost all wings of the organisation, be it manufacturing unit, IT wing,
procurement wing, delivery and stores wing, marketing and even Human Resource.
Once the data gets analysed the real picture regarding the future vision
compared to capacity of accomplishing it starts emerging. The vital gaps are
then identified and listed to formulate the key result areas that need
improvement in order to meet the future targets. The gaps above need to be filled
by study of the future market trends and the technology likely to be available.
Based on what exists on the ground, the gaps that need to be plugged and the
future trends in technology and market places, the enterprise architects draw a plan
to introduce changes in a phased manner that if followed logically will
bring growth. This is the essence of enterprise architecture and TOGAF certification shall make you one.
The above three phases of an enterprise
architect’s work are accomplished by his getting an adequate knowledge about
the IT framework and IT policies of the organisation and the practices
suggested in TOGAG certification regarding operations of IT wing. It goes
without saying that good IT frameworks and IT policies improve IT services of
the organisation and it helps to reduce the IT wing expenses which are anyway
the highest in any organisation. Reduction in IT costs and improvement in IT
services bring in the revenue as savings and wins the loyalty of the customers
which spells success for the growth of its brand name in the marketplace.
A periodic review of developments brought
about by the enterprise architecture and that of the enterprise architecture
itself ensures that the organisation can achieve its futuristic targets without
actually disturbing the existing operations. TOGAF certification is thus worth
doing.
