PD programme for EA
• Why a PD programme?• The programme• Results so far• Lessons learned • Spin off
Why a programme?
• Still increasing need for EA• Scarse EA capacity• Most felt in government organisations• Hiring EA expertise has it’s downsides• Attempts to increase ‘own’ EA capacity not
very succesfull (so far)
Downsides of hiring EA’s
• Continuity• Costs• EA fulfills strategic role
Attempts to increase EA capacity
• Looking for sheep with 5 legs• Development: let people do courses and hope
they come back as an EA• In meantime consultancy firms do the job
The problem with courses...
• People do not know what they do not know• Come back rather puzzeled than educated• While consultancy firms do the job, potential
EA’s are invissible (following courses etc.)
Training alone is not enough
Professional Development
The programme
• Coaching by experienced EA’s• Learning on the job: no pilot or PoC, real work• Discovering what still has to be learned
(competences, techniques, methods etc)• Defining a modular training programme
together• Defining a personal development plan for
each indidvidual
Phases
1. Forming the team2. Results while learning3. Training/individual coaching4. Continuity
Assignment
Initially:• EA model that provides direction and clearity
on impact of choices to be made
We expanded the assignment:• ‘delivery’ of qualified architects • Consolidation of EA in organisation/processes
Forming the team
• Letting loose the image of the ‘ideal’ architect: the team is the architect
• Selection and assessment based on competences
• Personal growth, ambition, willing to go on this journey
People
• Nobody is perfect, the team is • No sheep with 5 legs• Drive, ambition: who you are and what you
want
Quality: competences
• Conceptual thinking• Vision development• Problem analysis• Creativity• Persuasiveness
Room…
• Learn in a challenging and stimulating environment
• Room provides growth
Results while learning
• ‘Pressure on the kettle’ by incremental delivery
• Focus on ‘where it hurts/where the energy is’
• Learning moments in real life
Training & individual coaching
Not completely into the deep…• Coaching on the job – ‘master-companion’• Supplementary: training• Supporting: individual coaching
Continuity
Results so far
Finished first complete programme in 2008:• EA is implemented & working• Team members are self supporting EA’s now• External consultancy was gradually reduced
during the ‘journey’, until 0 at the end• From then, occasionnally, specialized EA
consultancy is hired
Results so far
• One new programme started 2008, two more are about to be started
• Pilot ‘broad & undeep’ base training is planned for dutch police, autumn 2009
• Looking for a professional partner to host and maintain training curriculum
Lessons learned
• Sometimes hard to get the right candidates, in terms of quantity and quality
• Shop is open while under construction...• Some find PD ‘cannibalism’...• No modular education model available as we
saw it – took some effort to create one, esp. in terms of hosting etc.
• Professional assessment is desired
Lessons learned
• ‘3 legged sheep’ capable of much more than some expected
• Timeboxing was essential for focus on delivery• Guts: dare to 80/20
Try a big fish...

experienced EA’s• ‘traditional’ education not primairy, but
facilitating• Modular curriculum: broad & undeep base
with underlying modules
Spin off

talent
