I head up a team of Enterprise Architects in the Business Change Function. We govern the change roadmap, ensuring that programmes align to strategies, highlighting risks & dependencies, and monitoring the realisation of business benefit. I represent the Application, Information, and Technology architectures on the Strategic Review Board.
This summer, we're based in Regent's Park. Come and learn to fly on the Grand Volant in the Great Outdoors. Our youngest students are 8, our oldest (so far!) was 78. Scary but safe, it's an experience you can't imagine beforehand. We guide each student through a progression of tricks, starting with a knee-hang — and we'll catch you from your trick if you're consistent enough.
Among other things, I'm participating in the UK government's Business in You campaign to encourage more people to start or grow their business using a range of existing support services, such as business mentors. If you're a West-London-based entrepreneur on the cusp of transforming your business, maybe we can help each other.
At Carphone Warehouse, Enterprise Architecture has spread from its origins in the IT department to influencing the board room, shaping executive change programmes. Our core challenge is to enable coherent and sustainable views across the breadth of our enterprise, while maximising the value of our investments.
Philip Hellyer has just given the best introduction to an Enterprise Architecture presentation that I've ever heard.
