Enterprise Architecture as a practice continues to evolve. While consultants and experts in the industry debate over the role of EA in technology and business, Architects in successful organizations continue to guide, mentor and steer their business and technology teams to leverage industry best practices.
Coagulations to Enterprise Architects for making it to the top of the 2011 list:
As a consulting Enterprise Architect, I have had the pleasure of working with EA’s from organizations that continually move towards top of these lists. However, the challenge I continually see is that not all Enterprise Architecture organizations do all the right things all the time.

Successful EAs seem to be doing the right things:
- Help define the right roadmaps and guide teams to work towards them
- Enabling "knowledge bridge" between business operations and IT
- Create a framework for strategic technology programs to coordinate technology adoption and development in a manner that maximizes value
- Moving away from being hostage to a legacy of dysfunctional IT, help the organization transform into an agile organization that embraces change
- Digitize and simplify its end-to-end processes
- Experimenting with different approaches to presenting data and collecting and maintaining architectural elements
