Integrative EA Competencies – a Fractal Map

Subject Skill RatingExpert = 4

Extensive and substantial practical experience and applied knowledge on the subject

Knowledge = 3

Detailed knowledge of subject area and capable of providing professional advice and guidance. Ability to integrate capability into architecture design

Awareness = 2

Understands the background, issues and implications sufficiently to be able to understand how to process further and advice the client accordingly

Background = 1

Posses skill just enough to converse in the subject area.

In each of the above subject areas having appropriate weightages against overall backdrop – EA competencies development targets to achieve ‘skill rating level 4’. This is an impossible goal. However, as specialist and generalist evolve they acquire different levels in different subject areas bringing varied impact into business consulting. Combination of skills eventually overcomes the constraint of individual learning abilities. It is easier to achieve skills rating in linear subject areas (weightages 2 & 3). As one scales up it is much more difficult, since subjects tends to become integrative and intuitive. However, in general having rating “4” in all subject areas with weightages 3 has much business potential than having rating “4” in subject area with weightage 4 alone.
