Elemental Links: 2010 Plans

Having already stated my sole 2010 prediction, I want to start the year (decade) by sharing my 2010 plans.   For context, I need to start with my firm, Elemental Links.  The elevator speech:

Elemental Links helps organizations develop business-technology strategies, architectures, and programs to increase business visibility and responsiveness, optimize capability delivery, and enable innovation.

This said, for 2010, my writing, services and workshop offerings will center on the technology strategies, architectural approaches, business-technology programs and techniques that contribute to increased business visibility and responsiveness, optimized capability delivery, and business innovation.

From a business-technology perspective, the above translates to these topical areas:

• Active Information Strategies
• Business Architecture
• Business-IT Integration
• Cloud Computing
• Enterprise Architecture in the 'New Normal'
• Event-Driven Architecture / Event Processing
• Services Architectures

The topic list maps to writings, services and workshops as follows.

Public writings and client-based advisory services will cover each topic, the topic interconnections, and the ties to business forces, actions and value. 

On-site workshops are available in the areas of cloud computing, enterprise architecture, event processing / event-driven architecture and services architectures. 

2010 WORKSHOP PROGRAMS

Cloud Computing:

• Cloud Computing Considerations for Enterprise Practitioners

Event Processing / Event-Driven Architecture

• Event Processing / Event-Driven Architecture Introduction
• Event Processing / Event-Driven Architecture Jump-start
• Event Processing Business Analysis, Flow and Network Design

Enterprise Architecture:

• Enterprise Architecture in the 'New Normal' Introduction
• Enterprise Architecture in the 'New Normal' Jump-start

Services Architectures:

• Business-First Service Analysis Techniques
• Sustaining Services Architecture Success

Consulting services concentrate on three specialization areas: enterprise architecture in the ‘new normal’, event processing / event-driven architecture, and services architectures. 

For more information on any of the above, visit the Elemental Links business site or contact me.

In addition to my current publication venues – elemental links, business-driven architect and elemental cloud computing – I’ll be writing for OMG’s Business Ecology Initiative. 

As well, I have another topical research offering in the works, and perhaps (finally) the first seeds of a book, more on those later.

I have a good feeling about 2010.  I hope you do as well.
