About this Workshop

The Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) is a business and performance-based framework to support cross-agency collaboration, transformation, and government-wide improvement. It provides OMB and the Federal agencies with a new way of describing, analyzing, and improving the Federal Government and its ability to serve the citizen.

The use of this strategy began in the commercial sector where many major corporations, also faced with increased demand for services to its clients and business partners and the need to cross corporate stovepipes.

Experience has been gained.  Best practices established.  Lessons have been learned.  This conference will focus on the best of the best from the commercial sector as they apply to the special needs of government.
