A Model for Literature on Enterprise Architecture

I have been working with several different perspectives on governance, strategy, it architecture and enterprise architecture. I have read several books on the three topics and as such I have been able to build a model for categorizing the literature. The Model…

Why business-model to enterprise-architecture?

Yes, I admit it: I’ve been kinda pouring out the posts lately. Sorry… But why all this fuss about business-models and enterprise-architecture? What’s the point about the bottom-line not being the baseline to work from? If everyone’s selling something to someone, is…

Why the bottom-line doesn’t come first in enterprise-architecture

Yep, it’s red-rag time, folks…  Sometimes I really do despair of ‘enterprise’-architecture that completely fails to understand the difference between enterprise and organisation, or that mistakes the concerns of a single stakeholder group for the aims of the enterprise as a whole……

Enterprise Debt and the Shirky Principle

Just how much are organisations themselves ‘their own worst enemy’ for the enterprise? Have been thinking about this one for quite a while, following up on some great conversations with Kevin Smith (of PEAF fame) and Nigel Green (of VPEC-T fame) about…

A week in Tweets: 03-09 July 2011

Almost catching up, for once – not quite a full week late. Here it is anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, shuffled into the respective categories (or not, as the case may be). And, of course, the necessary ‘Read more…’…

A week in Tweets: 26 June – 2 July 2011

A week in Tweets: 19-25 June 2011

Yep, another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course, after the inevitable (and necessary) ‘Read more…’ link. Enterprise-architecture and all that business-ish big-picture stuff: CreatvEmergence: RT @sheriherndon: “Complicated” is essentially mechanical. “Complex” is essentially relational. Complicated is about acting…

A week in Tweets: 12-18 June 2011

Another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links: make of it what you will. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link. Need you ask for more? Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and the business big-picture: vernaallee: Fractals, complexity, simplicity and more RT @timkastelle: By @Digitaltonto: The…

Enabling the BMC with the power of Q

I threw the basic grid below together as a tool to reason and visualize about how developers, analysts and architects generally use the BMC. My suspicion was that most users of the BMC scatter their efforts across the grid with an emphasis…

A week in Tweets: 05-11 June 2011

It’s a week. Another week. Gosh. This one starts from 5th June, as the page-header suggests. Make of it what you will. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link: what more could you ask? Enterprise-architecture and any of the ‘business big-picture’ stuff: CreatvEmergence:…
