IASA Architect Core- Dublin, March 2011
Two weeks ago I’ve attended the IASA Architect Core course not certain what to expect. I’ve joined IASA just before the Irish Chapter was formed in late 2010 and haven’t had the opportunity to meet with anyone from IASA face to face. Thirteen people attended, a great mix of characters, experience and backgrounds.
The course was a good mix of lecture and hands-on workshops which helped to understand it and remember better by doing. The latter proved to be the challenge as the whole week was packed with so much information that its impossible to remember it all otherwise. Practical workshops also made bonds and friendships to form, outliving the course duration.
Overall the experience and knowledge were eye opener for me. It helped me to validate my skills and create an improvement path for my career. I’ve also learned more about IASA and its vision of strengthening the IT architects profession and am looking forward to be part of making it happen.
The course was presented by Jim Wilt, with few sections presented by Gar Mac Críosta (Gar will be leading the next Core course in Dublin).

This year I’m changing the way I work to be more meaningful for myself personally and for long term professional career.
Aside from reserving part of my time this year for consultancy I will spend more time learning. Last year had gone very fast and drained a lot of my energy. It was rewarding in experience, both good and bad.
The first training this year that I’ll attend is the Iasa Architect Core hosted by Irish Chapter of Iasa and presented by Jim Wilt.
The purpose of these two courses are to introduce students to the ITArchitecture skills that the IASA has determined are necessary for allarchitects, regardless of level or specialization, and to then apply those skillsin a simulated business environment.
