You Do Not Have to Read 1,600 Pages to Get Started in Enterprise Architecture: Getting Started with a Six-Week Version 1.0 Deliverable
July 21, 2026, 1:00 PM Eastern Time
You do not need to read 1,600 pages to get started with Enterprise Architecture (EA).
That may sound obvious, but too many organizations still treat EA as if the first step is mastering a massive framework, memorizing terminology, and building a complete architecture library before anything useful can happen.
That is backwards.
In the upcoming “REAL Talk With Sam Holcman” webinar, Sam Holcman will discuss a practical way to begin Enterprise Architecture with a focused six-week development effort leading to a Version 1.0 deliverable.
Not theory for theory’s sake. Not a documentation marathon. Not another framework-heavy exercise that never reaches the business.
We will discuss how to:
Start with the business, not the binder
Build a useful Version 1.0 architecture in six weeks
Identify the set of deliverables that create real direction
Avoid getting trapped in methodology overload
Move from “we need EA” to “here is what we are doing next.”
Enterprise Architecture should help leaders make better decisions, align investments, reduce complexity, and guide transformation. It should not require months of reading and testing before the first useful conversation.
If your organization has been waiting to “do EA the right way,” this webinar is designed to help you start.
