There are several goals that we wish to achieve.  It would be good to identify campuses that have successful enterprise architecture programs and extract common best practices and set of references.  Another goal of this assessment is to allow each one of us to better guage where we are with respect to each other's maturity in the enterprise architecture efforts.  It would be useful to identify a spectrum of activities that may not be in line with best practices however, are still viewed as important benefits of  less mature EA programs.   As always, identifying success criteria is also a valuable outcome.
