Start of the journey

Start of the journey

This is the beginning of the journey to developing a flourishing professional body. Since it is the Association of rather than for Open Group Enterprise Architects, its success is going to be mostly down to the members.

To start out, we have announced the AOGEA and opened it up to membership now, even though the launch is scheduled for the beginning of February 2007 at the Open Group conference and Member Meeting, if for no other reason than we might not have everything right and we can use that time to get your feedback on improvement points……. don’t wait to be asked.

We also need to start getting you engaged as soon as possible. There is much to be done. Although The Open Group members are responsible for TOGAF and for programs such as ITAC there is a lot more that needs to get done. For example, if we are going to develop a real profession we need to develop a code of ethics and a process for policing them. This is a something for an AOGEA Work Group …….

We will also need to have special interest groups. These might be industry specific or subject specific. And we will need Chapters, for local networking among AOGEA members.

This could be very exciting. If you would like to start a Work Group, SIG or a Chapter or just get involved, let me know………

Finally we will have a Bulletin Board where members can post questions and hopefully other members can give them some help.
