Learning Outcomes

The program explores Enterprise Architecture from three fundamental perspectives, (1) the architect and what they bring to the table, (2) the practice and how it operates, and (3) the fit of the practice within the university. 

  • Leadership Skills and competencies for architects
  • Soft Skills needed by architects
  • Communication Skills used by architects
  • What is architecture and what is Architectural Thinking?
  • Methods and Tools that are often used by architects
  • Understanding the Context of your architecture practice
  • Case Studies of success and failure

Approach

The New2EA Program is designed and delivered as a high-touch immersive learning experience.  Participants experience multiple engagement modes that operate together throughout the program, including:

  • Half-day online workshops each month facilitated by program contributors
  • Rotating-membership triad groups of peers to collaborate on project work, study, and discussion 
  • Regular one-on-one sessions with an assigned mentor, providing leadership coaching and guidance

The end-to-end program experience exposes participants to a wide range of methods and tools, examples of functioning enterprise architecture practices from other institutions, and progressively explores case studies throughout the curriculum as a device to engage participants in a realistic architectural engagement.
