I recently had the privilege of delivering a presentation at Troux’s Worldwide User conference in Austin, TX .  Troux  creates software that helps enterprise architects align IT planning processes (projects, governance, architecture, standards, etc…) to business goals such as building new business capabilities, creating new lines of business, and expansion into new markets.  Ben Geller, Troux’s VP of Marketing asked me to speak about the rechartering efforts taken to make enterprise architecture align more with  business needs at Molina Healthcare.  You can find my full presentation on the Troux Conference Website.

The theme of this year’s conference is making EA stick.  There were several fantastic presentations and Troux made a great effort, as they have in years past, to ensure it was not a big sales pitch.

It was fantastic to be among peers and several leaders across many different industries outside of healthcare who share many of the same struggles.  I’m thankful for the opportunity to speak and look forward to continuing my interactions with other colleagues.  There were several great partners present at the conference and it is clear they are working closely with Troux to ensure data is accurate, timely helping leaders build a better window into the enterprise.

At Molina we have developed several  solutions around standards, governance, and future-state roadmaps all closely aligned with a business need and I was happy to share our efforts with everyone.   I would love to hear how your organization Enterprise Architecture program is working to be more business focused.  Leave a comment below or message me on Twitter or LinkedIn
