This article focuses on the 'EA hangover' - a lingering state of discomfort driven by the repercussions of past failure and looming future obligations, that exists in many organizations throughout the government. While federal policies and mandates have served as drivers in rise of importance of EA in government agencies, this has often been met with agencies failing to scale their teams, tools, and governance practices to keep pace.
The article points out 5 impediments to a successful EA foundation in government agencies while suggesting recommended mitigation for each. While each impediment and corresponding mitigation may seem self explanatory for the most part, I believe that they serve a good guidelines for agencies to always keep in mind to maximize agency-specific value from their EA programs. The article stresses a balanced approach, 'whereby EA teams continue to adequately meet compliance requirements while proactively addressing strategic agency initiatives.'
