Roger Evernden has been an Enterprise Architect since 1984, specializing in the highly practical use of EA to manage organizational transformation. He acts as consultant, advisor, mentor and coach on enterprise architecture initiatives, leads training workshops, and writes regularly about strategy and architecture.
