| The Barefoot Cobbler's Child: An Enterprise Architecture for IT Governance Enterprise information technology is under increasing pressure to demonstrate value, transparency, and responsiveness. Project and security failures, escalating operational expenses and unstable production systems have combined to result in significant public criticism and executive disfavor. Disciplines such as Enterprise Architecture, IT Governance, Portfolio Management, and Service Management are evolving in response. However, the IT capability in most large organizations is still partitioned into high-walled functional silos, characterized by frictions between strategists, developers, and operations staff. Enterprise modeling and process improvement techniques have been used throughout all aspects of business, but the weakest area of their application has been enterprise IT itself. Based on the presenter's forthcoming book, enterprise modeling techniques will be used to outline an enterprise architecture for large-scale information technology itself. Topics include: • A value chain approach to understanding IT process and its requirements • A conceptual information model for the IT domain • Distributed system architectures and integration patterns for enabling the IT value chain About the Presenter Charles Betz is a Senior Enterprise Architect, and chief architect for IT Service Management strategy for a US-based Fortune 50 enterprise. He is author of the forthcoming Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance: Making Shoes for the Cobbler's Children (Morgan Kaufman/Elsevier, 2006, ISBN 0123705932). He has held architect positions for Best Buy, Target, and Accenture, specializing in IT governance, ERP systems, enterprise application integration, metadata, and configuration management. He holds a summa B.A. in Political Science and a Master of Science in Software Engineering, both from the University of Minnesota. He is an active member of the professional community, belonging to the IT Service Management Forum, IEEE, ACM, and Data Management Association (DAMA). He presents frequently both locally and nationally to professional associations and conferences. He is the sole author of the popular www.erp4it.com weblog.

| The Power and Promise of Facilitation Facilitation is defined as the act of assisting or making easier the progress or improvement of something. It is a style of interaction that draws from the resources of others, empowering them and involving them while enhancing everyone’s learning. This style can be used for training, coaching, running meetings, team-building, building consensus, resolving conflict and even transforming organizations. Simply put, the ability to facilitate others is a powerful leadership skill. This workshop explores and demonstrates what facilitation is and how it can be used to assist or make easier a variety of business activities. This world class workshop is based on one designed, developed and delivered for Promatch, a Silicon Valley career transition agency, where its implementation resulted in significantly upgrading all their other offerings. Using a highly interactive design, you will have the opportunity learn by doing and improve your skills at being a better facilitator.
