Response - All of the work I have done either consulting and or permanent engagements as solution architect in effect require change or business transformation to happen to effectively deliver the end objective. This was evident in a number of engagements where either change of strategy / approach was required or adoption of particular method or use of technologies.

Response - All of the organisations / projects I have worked on were large corporate / government organisations that utilized a broad range of technologies from current leading edge vendors ie IBM. Oracle, HP, Microsoft (Middleware etc) which required to be integrated with existing business systems. From an architecture perspective, solutions and implementation was always in accordance with architecture framework. Specific example of a particularly complex project includes definition of architectural framework to implement solution design and delivery for high volume transactional claims system at IAG which required meshing technologies together in line with architectural best practice and SOA designs. Also development and application integration practices using Agile and Waterfall approaches.
Response - Have utilized a number of architectural frameworks i.e. Zachman & TOGAF. I am TOGAF certified and have also been focused specifically on information / data centric solutions across the web, document management, transactional and data domains. This has mainly been in relation to specific solutions using vendor COTS middleware and integration using SOA design / principles.
