The 11th Architecture Community of Practice (ACoP) Forum presents - Evolution of an Accidental Enterprise Architect

How are Enterprise Architects (EA) "made"? Does one develop Enterprise Architecture skills through a series of structured training and competency development, or is it an art form to be learned through on-the-job training and apprenticeship? Does one become an EA through careful career management, and through a series of fortuituous circumstances? Does one assemble a dream team of EA's through a deliberate and targeted sourcing strategy, or does a team of EA's emerge through blind luck?

What is an Enterprise Architect anyway? Should we be congregating in one spot in the first place?

Peter Tan, Principal Architect of Integrated Health Information Systems, stumbled into the wonderful world of Enterprise Architecture 13 years ago, and has somehow managed to make a career out of it. Through the years, Peter has experienced a variety of architecture tasks, roles and styles. He occasionally ponders over such bizarre questions in the rare moments when he is not buried in work. He definitely does not have the answers, and is hoping that, at the 11th ACoP Forum, the community of practitioners can collectively come up with some clues to the answers.

An Architecture Community of Practice (ACoP) Forum

The Architecture Community of Practice (ACoP) is made up of passionate professionals specialising in enterprise, business, information, application, technology and solution architectures. ACoP was formed with the objective of promoting the advancement of the architecture practice through sharing, learning and support in the vibrant network of practitioners.
