What is the Enterprise Architecture with the Zachman course about?

Enterprise architecture often collapses under its own complexity. Models exist, but bridging vision to implementation remains elusive. Without a structured approach, initiatives stall, stakeholders misalign, and ROI evaporates. The Zachman Framework offers clarity, but only if applied correctly across contexts and concerns.
