IA Summit 2010: This One Goes to Eleven -- The Best Conversations Happen in the Hall

People often think of enterprise information architecture as the practice of
harmonizing the design and usability of an enterprise’s many disparate
internet and intranet sites. However, information architects can add further
value to the enterprise which they serve. Information architects can use their
techniques and methods to provide more of an impact to their organization than
designing and implementing computer based user interfaces. Information
architecture can organize, align and exploit information across the enterprise.

The impact and scope of enterprise information architecture can range from the
mild: mapping paper based forms and reports; to the sublime: aligning
organizational critical mission, policy and administrative information.
The presentation will:

1. Define the enterprise, the goals of enterprise information architecture
2. Explore the areas within the enterprise where information may ‘hide.’
3. Detail several artifacts that may be used to communicate enterprise
information architecture.

At the end of the presentation, there will be an example of how to establish an
enterprise information architecture.
