As an Enterprise Architect I was responsible for finding a solution to a costly content management issue. I developed and executed three distinct, complex and interrelated action plans to resolve the issue. First, achieve executive and business leader alignment and support for setting priorities and changing the environment. This required accurately defining the problems paying attention to perspectives and insights then, reflecting their concerns and, objectives in a coherent plan using one-on-one interviews, presentations, and periodic status reports. Second, achieve technical design and implementation consensus by collaborating with the organization's Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects and IT leadership to produce an acceptable reference architecture, implementation schedule, support and maintenance plan. This was accomplished through One-on-One meetings, JAD sessions and presentations to several IT steering committees. Finally, Implement the plan by leading teams of specialists to purchase, construct and, deliver the infrastructure, business applications and organizational change activities for the solution.
