EA WITH TEETH.

Every EA practice that fails has the same root cause. Nobody ever agreed on what EA was for. Eight live sessions to build the practice that actually holds.

The Problem

Every EA practice I have seen fail had the same root cause. The organization never agreed on what EA was for. Not the C-suite. Not the domain leaders. Not the EA team itself.

"The C-suite, the domain leaders, and the EA team each carried a different definition of the job. None of them knew it."

Misalignment does not announce itself. It surfaces later, as governance nobody follows, standards nobody adopts, and a function the business quietly routes around. By the time it is visible, the practice is already being reorganized out.

"The business does not have an architecture problem. It has an architecture alignment problem."

This series fixes that from the ground up. Not with another framework or certification. With the sequence that builds shared understanding first, then everything that depends on it.

Eight Sessions.
No Padding. No Filler.

Each session stands alone. Together they form a complete system for building an EA practice that actually works. You leave with methods you can apply the following week.

01

The Foundation

Diagnose the alignment problem and build the shared understanding of EA that makes everything else possible.

SESSION / 90 MIN
02

Earning the Right to Govern

Why governance-first kills your practice, and how to solve the problems your domain leaders actually feel first.

SESSION / 90 MIN
03

Building the Centre

Standards, canonical patterns, and pre-approved design chassis. The foundational work most organizations skip and regret.

SESSION / 90 MIN
04

The Federation Decision

When to federate and when not to, and how to design models that hold together under delivery pressure.

SESSION / 90 MIN
05

Governing Without Controlling

Redesign the ARB. Embed governance in pipelines, patterns, and platforms instead of approval processes. Policy as code.

SESSION / 90 MIN
06

AI and the EA Practice

AI governance as an extension of enterprise architecture, not a parallel structure. Built in production.

SESSION / 90 MIN
07

Measuring What Matters

The metrics that keep your function funded: deviation trajectory, voluntary adoption, cost of non-compliance, influence rate.

SESSION / 90 MIN
08

The Politics Nobody Talks About

Leadership alignment, skeptic conversion, budget cycles, and the C-suite reporting line problem. The real reason practices survive or fail.

SESSION / 90 MIN

8 sessions  •  90 minutes each  •  Live on Zoom  •  12-person cohort

DAN
SCOTT.

Dan Scott has spent his career in the operational trenches of enterprise architecture at two of North America's largest banks, currently as a Director of Enterprise Architecture. He has led EA functions through mergers, regulatory shifts, and executive reorganizations, the environments where getting alignment wrong is not academic.

He is a practitioner, not a consultant. He has held accountable roles inside large-scale enterprises, presented architecture positions to skeptical executives and won, and watched EA functions collapse from the inside when the alignment was never there. He is TOGAF 10 certified and the founder of an AI fintech product now in live beta.

EA With Teeth is the distillation of what actually works. Not the theoretical. Not the aspirational. The methods that produced real results in organizations that had no patience for abstract architecture work.
