Enterprise architects and business leaders alike snap to attention and reflect on how their organization has leveraged and benefited from EA efforts over the past year. Since we\u2019re about one month out from the deadline for nominations (here\u2019s your heads up that they close on Friday, June 15), we thought it would be instructive and timely to lay out a few baseline tips for what makes up a successful entry, taking into account similarities between past winners that are both Troux customers and unaffiliated role models for the discipline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/putting-best-foot-forward\/#1_Focus_on_Business_Impact\" >1.

Focus on Business Impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>And to put a finer point on it, measurable impact. This isn\u2019t always possible if an organization is just getting its EA program structured, off the ground and running, but quantifiable results on both the IT and broader business planes make entries exceptionally more impactful and explicable.<\/p>\n<p>As an example on the IT savings layer, in their entry last year, Troux customer <a title=\"The 2014 Enterprise Architecture Awards: Dell\" href=\"https:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/article\/2686202\/enterprise-architecture\/2014-enterprise-architecture-awards.html?page=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dell<span class=\"sr-only\"> \u2013 shifting from hardware to solutions \u2013<\/span><\/a> conservatively estimated resulting IT savings at $152 million. That\u2019s a hard number to ignore. They also supplemented the IT savings with more qualitative business results in the fact that they transformed their business and services offerings to be optimized for global, end-to-end solutions rather than siloed technology products.<\/p>\n<p>An entry recognized from <a title=\"The 2014 Enterprise Architecture Awards: The Australia Post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/article\/2686202\/enterprise-architecture\/2014-enterprise-architecture-awards.html?page=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Australia Post<span class=\"sr-only\"> (focusing on customers)<\/span><\/a> boasted impressive diversity in measurable impact: Projected IT savings of A$40 million over five years (with A$5 million already realized), estimated annual carbon emission reduction of 6,030 tons and a predicted increase from 1.4 million to 4 million registered customers over the span of a year. For those keeping count, that\u2019s a 186 percent increase in customer base.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have to rely on estimates or projections to demonstrate business impact, go for it, provided you have the realistic figures and rationale to back it up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Prove_Innovative_Thinking\"><\/span>2. Prove Innovative Thinking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we\u2019ve mentioned previously, basic transparency into a company\u2019s IT operations, resources and processes is a major victory. Cost-cutting, eliminating redundant technologies and making smarter IT investments based on that transparency are even more admirable results. But what the judges are looking for more and more every year in this program is reaching the next level \u2013 doing something truly innovative that hasn\u2019t been seen in the enterprise environment before. How are you connecting EA to digitization, BYOD, the IoT or, cybersecurity or an even more emergent trend or field?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Choose_a_Human_Face_for_Your_Story\"><\/span>3. Choose a Human Face for Your Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even though this isn\u2019t an awards program recognizing individual achievement and you don\u2019t have to mention specific names, it pays to personify your program and broadly give credit where it\u2019s due. The \u201cface\u201d of your story could be your CIO, your enterprise architect or even a diverse team of experts. Whoever it is, they should embody the collaboration, vision, leadership and other traits that provide the foundation for any strategic business project.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The 2014 Enterprise Architecture Awards: Molina Healthcare\" href=\"https:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/article\/2686202\/enterprise-architecture\/2014-enterprise-architecture-awards.html?page=6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Realigning around business outcomes, <\/span>Molina Healthcare<\/a>\u2019s (another Troux customer) \u201cface\u201d for their entry last year was an eight-member team of enterprise, information and solution architects that work with senior stakeholders leading business units and strategic projects.
