Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Tom Graves This is part of a series of posts that I’ll be doing about ‘The Really Big Picture‘ at a societal/economic level, in relation to enterprise-architecture.
This post sets out some of the scope and scale of the changes that are or are likely to be coming up on the horizon over the next few years and/or […]
This continues the themes of the previous posts, ‘The Really Big Picture for enterprise-architecture‘ and RBP-EA: The dangers of business-centric ‘enterprise’-architecture.
Much like strategy, enterprise-architecture is one of the few business-disciplines that explicitly focusses on the mid- to longer-term future. As such, one of the unfortunate side-effects is that much of what we do is at risk […]
This is in part a follow-on to ‘The Really Big Picture for enterprise-architecture‘.
As a discipline, enterprise-architecture is still in the throes of a multi-year struggle against IT-centrism – in our context, the dangerous delusion that enterprise-scope IT-architecture somehow ‘is’ enterprise-architecture. There are signs now that that struggle is at last beginning to be won: a […]
The ‘Really Big Picture’ for enterprise-architecture is a sustainable world that works well for everyone.
Okay, that’s a bit of a bald statement. Let’s step back a bit.
To me, every enterprise-architecture is anchored in a vision of some kind – a descriptor for the aims of the overall enterprise. (One classic example of an enterprise-vision is […]
Several people, including Nigel Green, Doug Newdick and Kris Meukens, picked up on my comments about architecture versus design in my earlier post ‘Great conversations on enterprise-architecture‘. Nigel kindly wrote a follow-up post on his Posterous blog, and Kris pointed to an earlier blog-post of his own, whilst Doug also added useful comments to both of those […]
Almost catching up on the backlog: the last week’s collection of Tweets and links, only a few days late! Usual categories, of course, after the usual ‘Read more…’ link.
Enterprise-architecture and all manner of related ‘big-picture business-type stuff:

This one’s been brewing for a while, but the final trigger to get it down in writing was a tweet from yesterday evening:
RT @vernaallee: RT @timkastelle: Good post & important point by @jorgebarba – It matters how you play the game. Not just being first http://bit.ly/lbAi6q
Will recommend Jorge’s post – it makes some very good […]
Almost up to date: the previous week’s worth of links and Tweets – sorted into the usual categories, of course.

I must admit I’m pleased with this brief interview, filmed by the AV crew at AE Rio 2011 (many thanks, guys!). It covers a lot of ground in barely four minutes: the importance of stories and culture in enterprise-architecture, key differences in the Latin America market compared to elsewhere, and much else besides.
(There’s supposed to […]
Oops. Careless. I’ve let it slip back again. Oh well. Another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links, then: still useful, I hope. Usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, business-innovation and likewise themes:

A busy week this has been. The Gartner EA Summit and the Open Group Enterprise Architecture Practitioners conference were both on in London at the same time, little more than a few hundred yards apart. And a lot of other things starting to happen in the enterprise scene as well: more good news on the […]
Still in catch-up, as seems to occur all too often – apologies. Another week’s-worth of Tweets and links, anyway. Usual categories, of course, after the usual ‘Read more…’ link.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and suchlike:
