Place of #entarch in an enterprise organisational chart

Based on the Linkedin discussion Should an Enterprise Architecture role report to the CEO?.

It depends (as usual). Place of EA should depend on the maturity of the whole organisation.

• Low level - EA is under CIO 
• Middle level - EA is under COO 
• High level - EA is under CEO 
• etc. 

Of course, there are extremes like an CIO saying: "Architecture? We don't need such a function. Everyone will do architecture".
