Eating My Own Dog Food
The next couple of years I will be eating my own dog food in the Danish Ministry of Finance. Next week I will start a new job as enterprise architect in the national Digital Task Force. The Task Force assists the Danish national steering committee of joint cross-government co-operations in carrying out the adopted e-government projects, and it prepares the basis of the decision-making on the background of cooperation with the involved parties.
My job there will be too give (EA) input too the national e-government strategy and assist different projects with concrete IT/EA architectural thinking. It will be a huge and exiting challenge too be part of the “real” work in the Ministry of Finance - and too see how/if my thoughts will influence the national EA work. Communicating the value of EA will be one of my key challenges. I have spent the last couple of years preaching how fantastic a tool EA is. The interesting question will be: Will the dog eat the dog food? I will try too keep you all posted…

How does this affect your PhD? Is that still on, or is it only the new job now?

This is ACTION research! My PhD is on hold, but I have detailed a plan that will make sure that I finish my PhD some time in 2009. This was just an opportunity that I could not say no to :-)

Good luck in your new position Kristian. Hopefully you will be able to share lessons learned with the EA community. Best regards, Scott Bernard
