SOA Governance: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Like jumping from a plane without a parachute, target shooting with your eyes closed, or assembling a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with no box-top picture to serve as a reference -- such is the plight of the organization that attempts to adopt a Service-oriented approach to technology and business in the absence of governance. 

Join SOA thought leaders Jason Bloomberg, Managing Partner, ZapThink and Kyle Gabhart, SOA Lead, Web Age Solutions, for a refreshing, irreverent look at the successes -- and failures -- of SOA Governance.

First, Jason will discuss SOA Governance pitfalls. Never one to pull any punches, Jason will describe various mistakes, blunders, and "learning experiences" organizations are making today as they seek to implement SOA.

Next, Kyle will give the other side of the story and enumerate ten steps to successful SOA Governance, including:
  • Avoiding the "Tragedy of the Commons"
  • Governance by Policy
  • Governance by Consent
  • Identifying and Empowering SOA Champions
  • Shepherding the Service Porfolio

Whether you've already established some sort of governance around your SOA initiative, are in the process of erecting a governance framework, or you are still in the very early stages of SOA discovery, you'll find valuable and practical insights in this presentation.

The webinar will be October 25, 2007 @ 12:00 Eastern
