High Impact Trusted Architects (HITA) vs. Certified In Name Only (CINO) Enterprise and Business Architects – Which Are You?

High Impact Trusted Architects (HITA) vs. Certified In Name Only (CINO)

Summary

• HITAs are valued for their ability to drive real change, align architecture with business strategy, and mentor others, making them essential to organizational success.

• CINOs may hold certifications but lack the practical skills and impact required to be effective, often limiting the profession’s advancement and credibility.

A true professional architect - whether Enterprise or Business - must go beyond certification, demonstrating real-world results, strategic thinking, and leadership that earn trust and drive organizational progress.
