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…

Congratulations to Ole!
Tuesday this week, my good friend and PhD-colleague Ole Jørgensen defended his M.Sc. thesis. He got the best grade possible (11! – se more about the Danish grading system here) and we are therefore all very proud of him.
If you are interested in the economic uncertainty and structural reforms in the European Union – which is a really a hot topic in the Danish election right now – you can read more about Ole's PhD-project on the website of Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) or you can go directly to his website.
