Step 2:<br />
Transition Execution<br />
EA is not change management.<br />
Step 3:<br />
Transition Completion<br />
EA, and EBA in<br />
particular, provides<br />
guidance and support<br />
necessary to flexibly<br />
evolve and optimize<br />
business dimensions<br />
(the people,<br />
processes, financials<br />
and organizations) to<br />
achieve effective<br />
enterprise change.<br />
Key <strong>Is</strong>sue: <strong>What</strong> EA is not. And, how does EA relate to other IT and business initiatives?<br />
Change management is a structured approach to change that encompasses individuals, teams and<br />
organizations, with the objective of facilitating the human side of change. In most enterprises undergoing<br />
significant change, the change manager is a senior business executive responsible for coordinating all aspects<br />
of the change, including technology, human factors, reorganization and process modifications.<br />
EA provides the strategic context for the change through the common requirements vision or some similar<br />
vehicle, and it provides the view of the future state from a process, organization, information and technology<br />
perspective. This gives everyone a coherent view of the strategic drivers for the change, as well as a clear<br />
picture of the target state.<br />
