Systems supporting enterprise architecture strategy fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Availability targets for this strand of technology and systems delivery are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Participants finish able to explain the practice within technology and systems delivery to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Progress on enterprise architecture strategy is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Organisations that document this strand of technology and systems delivery properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The course sets out a working method for the practice within technology and systems delivery that participants can apply the week they return. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on enterprise architecture strategy are used deliberately. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this part of technology and systems delivery is examined, not just described. Participants leave with a plan for the wider technology and systems delivery agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
