| Why does “ Zachman Framework™” is the basis for Architecture? |
As John observes few (if any) Enterprises have been Architected. There is no Architecture. Enterprise
parts have been manufactured... but the Enterprise parts are not fitting together.

"If you get really honest and search all of history, seven thousand years of known history of humankind, to find how humanity has learned to cope with two things, complexity and change ... there is one game in town, ARCHITECTURE.

How do you think they build hundred story buildings, or Boeing 747's, or IBM supercomputers... or even simple things like a one-bedroom house or a Piper Cub or the PC on your desk? Somebody had to write it down... at excruciating levels of detail... ARCHITECTURE. Now, if you want to change any of those things (with minimum time, disruption and cost), how do you change them? You go to what you wrote down... ARCHITECTURE.

If you agree with Jim Collins - “Greatness is not a business idea, greatness is not a function of circumstance, greatness Is a matter of conscious choice and discipline”. |
You could use enterprise architecture to define those conscious choices and discipline.
|
 |
If you believed that Peter Drucker was right when he said “Taking action without thinking is the cause of every failure”. |
Enterprise Architecture could help you to identify 36 primitive cells and of course hundreds of composites for effective decision making. |
 |
Do you have desire to make your organization as a great organization, last longer and stand among humankind's noblest inventions? |
You will find “Enterprise Architecture” is so fundamental. |

The key to complexity and change is ARCHITECTURE. And you won’t be surprised as you start your architecture journey why does “ Zachman Framework™” is the basis for Architecture.

The objective of this one day Conference by John Zachman is to build an understanding of the concepts of Enterprise
Architecture and develop a sense of urgency for implementing those concepts in a modern enterprise. It will greatly
improve your chances for a successful implementation of enterprise information architecture.

Very often, CXOs find themselves in the middle of chaos wherein the enterprise spending more than $100 million per year to develop and maintain information technology systems which are not able to support changing business requirements.

In fact, there is growing need to consolidate the multiple line of business (LOB), face the complexity of rationalizing 70 or 100 plus IT systems and task of mapping their relevance to the enterprise profitability.

Make no mistake, such an implementation is a daunting task with opportunities to fail lurking in many places.
As inventor of enterprise architecture, he has obviously encountered a good many implementation problems and gives some
great advice on how to overcome.
