A week in Tweets: 20-26 March 2011

Still on catchup. but getting close: the previous week’s collection of Tweets and links; usual categories, of course. (The Tweets from the Troux EA conference, which also took place during this week, are already posted here and here.) It’s all there, after the ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-models and all manner of business-type stuff:

SianVanEs: @tetradian […]

A week in Tweets: 13-19 March 2011

Badly behind schedule again, mainly for reasons that are explained here. Never mind: here’s another week’s collection of Tweets and links, usual categories and so on. Over to you?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business strategy, innovation and suchlike concerns:

About the PEAF book

I’ve just finished editing yet another book on enterprise-architecture, and set up its production via my Tetradian Books publishing setup. But you won’t see it on the site, and in fact it may never be published as such in its present form – though you will see it coming out quite soon under someone else’s […]

There is no right to not-care

For all the talk of supposed ‘rights’ to this-that-and-the-other, there is one ‘right’ that we do not, can not and must not have: the right to not care.
There is no right to not-care.
And yet so many aspects of our society and culture and everything else are built upon exactly that ‘right’. Everyone who drops a […]

Tweets from Troux 2011 conference, day 2

Tweets and links from the second (and final) day of the Troux users (enterprise-architecture) conference in Austin, Texas, on 23-24 March 2011 – once again courtesy of Brenda Michelson, Todd Biske, Mike Walker, Aleks Buterman and others in a very active Tweet-active band of enterprise-architecture folks.
As on the previous post, I’ve edited slightly to remove most of the #Troux2011 and […]

Tweets from Troux 2011 conference: day 1

Courtesy of a very active band of Tweeters – including Brenda Michelson, Todd Biske, Mike Walker and Aleks Buterman, we have a fairly comprehensive description of what’s been going on at the Troux users (enterprise-architecture) conference in Austin, Texas, on 23-24 March 2011.
I’ve edited slightly to remove most of the #Troux2011 and #entarch hash-tags; I’ve […]

On being and becoming

Just one of those too-early-in-the-morning ideas that arise between getting up and getting moving for the day.
Been thinking back to my (too-many) years of programming, and the various ways we described the process of change, right down at the level of code.
As a language, English fits quite well with the ideas we express in software. […]

A week in Tweets: 6-12 March 2011

And another week’s collection of Tweets and links – this time the usual categories extended by Tweets from the Open Group conference in India. All after the ‘Read more…’ link, of course.

Enterprise architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, business-innovation and other ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

greblhad: The Art of Enterprise Architecture – Section Seven – Maneuvering http://wp.me/p7ejN-9O <another instalment of […]

Responsibility versus anti-possession as response to disaster

If ever you might need a clear example of the difference between a responsibility-based economy versus a possession-based one, and the fundamental dysfunctionality of the latter, take a look at the international response to the current natural-disaster in Japan, with huge problems arising from a massive earthquake and tsunami all down its north-east coast, and […]

A week in Tweets: 27 February – 5 March 2011

Yes, it’s another week, hence another set of Tweets and links. A few extra discussions this time, otherwise just the usual categories, of course.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, strategy, innovation and other ‘businessy’ matters:

vernaallee: RT @tom_peters: All measurement systems should be chucked/given wholesale renovation every now & then. ALL ARE EVENTUALLY “GAMED” INTO MEANINGLESSNESS. <Ed Catmull gave a […]

An architecture of responsibility

Following on from the previous post on ‘Possessed by possession‘, if it’s true that there is no way to make a possession-based economy sustainable, then it seems worthwhile to take a look at some of the implications.
First, though, a story, and a warning, from history.
I’ll admit I’m no true scholar of Australian Aboriginal history or […]

Possessed by possession?

In case you hadn’t noticed, there are some big changes happening right now in the wider world… Lots and lots of them, at every scale and in just about every major context, from political to social, environmental to technological, and much else besides.
Myself, I look at all of these things with an enterprise-architect’s eye – […]
