As most people know, one of my day jobs is Program Director for the SOA Consortium. This week, our "EA2010" working group published the first release of their view of Enterprise Architecture 2010 in a Powerpoint deck. Below is a sneak peak. No surprise for readers of this blog, business architecture is of huge importance. As are business smarts and business discipline.

In preparation for this release, I sat down with the EA2010 working group leaders, Ashok Kumar and Yogish Pai, to discuss their working group's motivation, findings and next steps. That conversation is available to the public as an on-demand webcast or podcast.

During our conversation, Ashok and Yogish touched on a wide range of enterprise architecture concerns, including catalyzing business change, gaining business-smarts, shifting focus to business architecture, managing enterprise architecture, participating in strategy and delivery, and winning enterprise constituents.

If you have comments after viewing the webcast, please leave them here, or jump over to the SOA Consortium Insights blog. The working group members are real enterprise architecture practitioners, and they are very interested in feedback from the broader community.
