Work Sample #1: Mentoring an aspiring Enterprise Architect

About the work: The work was to mentor a Technical Architect on handling architecture work complexities.

The goal of this work was to help him grow into Enterprise Architect role by enhancing his abilities to handle enterprise-level change, complexity of higher-level architectural work, and unclear ownership with large number of integrations.

My process involved discussions to understand his aspirations, work challenges, the chaos as he saw it. Based on that, I did a customization of my mentoring approach. I provided mentoring sessions to him with techniques, tools, exercises, focusing on getting clarity on complexity, strategic viewing and thinking, influence style and resilience to change. It also involved a few teaching sessions where I taught him designing architectures for AI augmented business functions, Enterprise Architecture practice topics. I also gave him a path forward in his competency building.

The results were fantastic. Within the next 1.5 years, he got promoted into Enterprise Architect role in his organization and he won an internal appreciation award for successfully delivering an integrated digital account opening capability to all the customers of his organization.

He Said: "Your passionate mentoring has immensely helped me. I never thought I could elevate my skills so fast to be ready to do enterprise architecture. Your guidance helped me connect the dots and build my confidence, you will be an inspiration to me to excel in my area. I am officially an EA now in my organization. Thank you so much Param."

About the work: The work was to enhance the architectural capability of an automobile company for Digital Transformation.

The goal of this work was to help them minimize the misalignment in priorities between IT and business units, allowing the business leaders to be more informed and focused on the digital transformation initiative.

My process involved working closely with the "connected cars" digital initiative sponsor, enterprise architecture (EA) team, and business leaders, focusing on collaboration, translating tech work to business objectives, strategic business thinking based architecture story, and bridging the gap. I used TOGAF® and ArchiMate® standards. I conducted reviews of their enterprise architectures and solution architectures. I took the architects through my architectural capability enrichment workshops that involved training on EA: process, modeling, tools, techniques, guidelines, governance, AI Ethics. I also had one-on-one sessions with enterprise architects, for specific challenges.

Results: We set up a competent team of enterprise architects and solution architects for Digital Transformation initiatives. The connected cars initiative was completed on time and was a success. The enterprise architecture was aligned with business goals and architects felt empowered to drive decisions for alignment. Architecture framework was set up that improved the productivity of architects by 50 percent and can support future AI/Digital transformations.

Company leaders said: "Thanks for everything! All your hard work and support resulted in highly successful digital implementation. A very good achievement in a real challenging situation. We also appreciate all your extra energy that made this engagement excellent."
