Profile Overview
Sunil is practicing architect & CEO of iCMG, who is influencing enterprise decisions worth $250mn annually. In the last 11 years, he is instrumental in
growing iCMG as leading full service Enterprise & IT Architecture Firm, providing architectural services to a wide variety of clients (over 20 domains)
across 23 countries.
Being Aerospace Engineer by qualification (IIT Kharagpur), he enjoys working with complex systems such as Air Traffic Control System, Water Leakage Management
System (City/country), Shipping & Surveillance systems, etc.
Sunil is an accomplished leader who is working with business owners & decision-makers to define the architecture driven roadmap for investments and new business
ideas. His experience arising out of practice and his astute decision making are great ways to "lift" the business above its competition. In this capacity, Sunil
frequently designs and facilitates team meetings and workshops to help them structure and communicate complicated concepts succinctly.
Majority of his team is spent with customers wherein he is helping to define value measurements, prioritization, translation of models or mapping strategy to
implementation activities. Currently, he is involved in guiding iCMG clients ( in Aerospace, Energy & Power, Telecom, Trading, Banking & Finance) in the areas of
business process improvement, IT roadmap and governance, etc.
As a practicing architect, he is often engaged in adoption of architecture driven transformation and planning, IT landscape rationalization for business success.
One can't miss his penchant for problem solving, reasoning based on "engineering" principles and hands-on strategy-to-operation excellence in tackling issues
(small or big) related to asset consolidation, integration, efficiency, innovation, reusability, etc. He is an excellent technologist, great visionary and one of the
true thought leaders and practitioners of Enterprise & IT Architecture.
One can't ignore his intelligent use of principles of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry and knowledge of history in deriving the new meaning and ways to
resolve problems. He is deft at using visual diagnostic techniques that can help narrow the causes of the problem and ensure that the diagnosis is accurate. These
techniques include visual modeling, creating composites, simulations, traceability, relationship matrix, gap analysis, impact analysis, etc. His clever use of
imaging tools let you "see" inside your enterprise (or department or system) to get a "picture" of strategy, business processes, data assets, technology stacks,
network channels, distribution logistics, events, stakeholders, workflow, rules, etc. This is a way you can determine if there are any abnormalities.
You will agree that you need a seasoned hand to approach for a project that is enterprise-wide in scope. As an architecture coach/mentor, he has taught enterprise &
software architecture classes to over 5000 professionals (cumulative) in 16 countries.
The contribution of Sunil Dutt Jha to an evolving discipline of Enterprise & IT Architecture through education & training, consulting, Annual Awards, Architect
Pavilion (Architects networking site) are worth noting.
Sunil has experienced extreme success and business failures too early in his professional career; this makes him a balanced person and also a sought-after architect
globally. |

Feedback
"I recently attended an architectural course that was delivered by Sunil. The course was very through, and explored many of the architectural methodologies used within IT. Sunil's comprehensive academic knowledge on the subject made it a stimulating, but with his further "real" hands on experience made it entertaining and well founded. Thankyou I enjoyed the course."

"Sunil executed an Enterprise Architecture workshop for myself and 3 of my colleagues from iiNet. Sunil was extremely passionate about the topic and he introduced us to some very thought provoking ideas. He was able to address all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend his workshop to anyone seeking to understand the processes involved in developing an enterprise wide architecture."
