EA and SOA: Integrating Services, Governance and Strategy
By Anders Østergaard Jensen, Consultant, Leonardo Consulting
Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ultimately seek to provide better business value and thus increased profitability through a holistic and integrated approach to management and technology investments. The proposed idea is to view and design the enterprise architecture as composed of enterprise service building blocks. Integrating EA and SOA can lead to a increased service reuse and improved control of corporate IT spend and assets.

Dont miss out on the Sharp Points Downunder Tour this August!
 |
"Can you get Alec back to teach other courses? I got more out of his 2-day course than a lot of the training I have taken over my career" "The examples and the content was great, the presenter explained well, there was allowance of conversation and questions." |
"Excellent!!!! I think that all SAs would benefit from taking this course. I would have no problem saying that this is one of the best training courses that I have attended. The information was pertinent and applicable (that doesn't happen often) to what we are trying to accomplish in our daily tasks."
"I think all the topics that were covered were great. This course should be a must for all new SAs and existing SAs that have not taken it. I wish that I had this course years ago. The instructor himself was awesome. Very unique style of teaching. Very engaging."
Alec Sharp will be running his hugely popular Requirements Modelling Course in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

Operational Leadership by Andrew Spanyi
Due for release this July
 |
Customers are increasingly demanding higher levels of speed and quality, yet leaders often focus mainly on reducing the costs of operations. Confronted by current and anticipated business challenges, incremental improvements to operations, while still important, will no longer be sufficient to gain advantage. This book outlines the needed evolution in leadership attitudes and behaviors in the key operational areas such as new product development, sales, operations, customer service, human resources, finance, and information technology. It relies on concepts introduced by Dr. G. Rummler & Alan Brache, Dr. Tom Davenport, and Dr. Michael Hammer. Click here for more information and to order your copy. |
