What does an effective Enterprise Architecture Program look like when implemented?

Today's Business/IT Environment for medium and large corporations can often be characterized as:

Ineffective business alignment - organizations were finding it more and more difficult to keep their increasingly expensive IT systems aligned with business needs and drive the level of innovation required to grow the business
