Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your Architects + Tom Graves SYD

Details

The Australasian Architecture Network has hosted a number of recent meet ups aimed at educating talented people across a range of new technologies and technical areas. This time we’re looking at something much more important, the people. In particular it will focus on how you can get the best from the Architects in your business and how they can deliver the best results to you.

It will look at the age old debate which always exists in this field between art and science, the creative vs. the coder. What types of projects require what types of people and how do you get the best results from such a diverse range of individuals.

We are fortunate to have roped in Tom Graves to give us a ½ hour presentation. Tom will be over in Australia during October and November this year for his antipodean tour. While here Tom will be Keynote speaker and workshop presenter at the Australasian Enterprise IT Conference. He is running his masterclasses in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. If you want to know more about Tom and his events look at http://tetradian.com/ (https://www.linkedin.com/e/v2?e=c3o9-ieb6cy5f-6v&t=plh&midToken=AQE_yOU5poyadg&ek=group_announcement_message&urlhash=XE1A&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftetradian%2Ecom%2F)

Some themes we'll cover:

What is architecture, and why is it important to the enterprise?

Who are the architects, and how do we find them?

What traits and skills do we want from our architects?

How do we support those traits and skills in the enterprise?

How do we support the work of architects in the enterprise?

How can we best assess the value of architects and architecture?

The panel will feature a range of experts on the questions and you'll no doubt leave with a great insight into how to get the best from your Solution Architects. If not, you'll just leave with the taste of Pizza and Beer so we're sure there'll be no complaining either way.
