Enterprise architecture is a broad field and organizations hire skilled contributors to fulfill a subset of its job function. Some hire for managing business architecture while others hire for managing their application and tech architecture. When an Enterprise Architect works for sometime under these employers, they seem to lose sight on the actual job duties of an Enterprise architect. This leads to unfair performance ratings, unbalanced contribution to business and technology needs. For someone who I thought I was, even I fell a prey to one of my employers. I want to use this opportunity to help build the basics and proceed with actual subject of this blog.

Impact of Generative AI in Enterprise Architecture

I lost my job in the recent past because I saw the signs way too late. After a grueling grieving processes and chronic depression, I finally took complete accountability for the fall out and promised myself to never be in the same spot ever again.

I want to spend my time and resources to help my fellow architects in this community on the true job duties of an EA. I hope this blog provides the needed insights to my fellow Enterprise Architects and leaders alike because knowing what to expect from an Enterprise Architect is equally important than knowing one’s job duties.
