What you'll get from Leading with EA 

Today's leaders face sometimes overwhelming demands and information loads from increasingly complex systems of people, processes, and tech.  More initiatives fail by going over budget, falling behind schedule, or failing to deliver impact.   Leading with EA shows a path through this - a repeatable and scalable approach to focusing on the right issues, building shared understanding across the organization, and effecting change with fewer surprises along the way.  You don't have to be an enterprise architect to use this approach.  Completing Leading with EA will arm you with tools to gain clarity where confusion once reigned, lead better, and deliver greater impact whatever your organization's mission.
