C: Linking Enterprise Architecture to Strategic Plans
This workshop will focus on ways to ensure that the EA is
viewed as a global agency asset rather than an IT product
or initiative. Participants will discuss the EA layers including
OMB efforts to add a "performance layer," roles
and responsibilities for developing and maintaining each layer,
how the agency strategic plan relates to the EA, and how technological
advances influence it. The objective of the session is to
review methods for moving EA to a strategic position within
the Agency and mitigate the potential that it is seen as a
"technical 'wiring' diagram
