Wasn't There A Commercial About This?

As a customer, I was so impressed with the quality of their work, I joined their company!

Departing my previous employer certainly wasn't an act of prescience, since the undercurrents of certain trends always rise to the top in public companies, it's just that the public is the last to know. From my own perspective, my work there was just one more experience that further convinces me that the practice of enterprise architecture needs to be completely divorced from the IT function in order to be effective. Moreover, enterprise architecture must be seamlessly integrated with a mature, portfolio management practice in order to provide the business stakeholders with the degree of insight and transparency it needs in order to make timely and accurate business decisions.

Anyhow, I now have the opportunity to not only help make this enterprise agile through architecture but, I can help others through leading by example.
