I ran into two excellent videos in the past couple of weeks … both force us to think and talk about the challenges today, globally and locally at our institutions.

For Enterprise Architects, the videos provide a clear imperative that we need a broad vision, an ability to manage change and the agility to deliver technology to serve the needs of our constituents … particularly in Higher Education.

Shift Happens - by Karl Fisch, modified by Scott McLeod – speaks to globalization and the impact it will have on the world – How can North America and Europe keep up with the growth in China and India?

A Vision of Students Today – by Michael Wesch and the students of Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Class of Spring 2007, Kansas State University – speaks to the challenges and lives of students in Higher Education – Are we really delivering education to suit our students’ needs?
After looking at the videos several times over, I am inspired and daunted by what our future brings. How about you?

CAUDIT EA Symposium 2007 – my presentation using Skype

I just finished my Skype presentation to the CAUDIT EA Symposium 2007 conference – Enterprise Architecture: Practical Approaches .  I think it went well but not really sure.  Skype crashed partway through and a couple of the video clips were not great for sound. With a few of the hiccups, I went a bit overtime.  I think next time, I would like to try a dedicated video presentation platform like Elluminate Live!.

A big thank you  Katarina Christenson from University of Canberra who helped run my slides and coordinate my talk.  This was a new way to present for me and I would do it again!

I hope  that my Australian colleagues will connect with me over the next few weeks to continue to build on Enterprise Architecture in Higher Education.
