• Why Enterprise Architecture is critical to the survival of the Enterprise.

• The difference between Engineering Enterprises and building and running Systems (i.e. between engineering the Enterprise and manufacturing the Enterprise).

• The difference between an ontology and a methodology.

• The difference between "Primitive" (engineering) models and "Composite" (manufacturing) models.

• The compromise implications of not doing all of the Enterprise’s Architecture.

• How to partition the Enterprise Architecture work so it can be done over a longer period of time.

• Conceptually how to migrate out of the current legacy environment into an "architected" environment.

• Practically how to:
  • build primitive models for the Cells of The Framework™. Build the Enterprise’s Architecture project by project
  • maintain Enterprise (horizontal) integration
  • maintain Quality (vertical) alignment
  • define implementation boundaries (Enterprise Architecture planning)
  • use Enterprise Architecture in the day-to-day management and operation of the Enterprise
