Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
(Sorry, long story. It will return in an appendix in Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture. It’s not related to that book’s main message, it is just an ‘illustration’ used in the book, which I thought would be nice for … Continue reading →
Who needs another blog if the one you have is already reasonably successful? Well, I do. That is because that other blog is about the ArchiMate enterprise architecture modelling language and this one is about enterprise architecture in general. And … Continue reading →

Some time ago, together with John Gøtze and Pieter van der Ploeg, I started a new book project: The Sourcing Initiative.

Just published this brand new book “The Enterprise Architecture matters blog” on Amazon Kindle.
It is a collection of blogs on Enterprise Architecture (EA) I posted to during the last few years. I blogged, constantly, since the very beginning of…
I have at last found a viable workflow to produce e-books of my various books and blogposts, via Leanpub. There’s one significant constraint in this form of publishing: Leanpub uses Markdown text-files for input, which is a fair bit more limited in its formatting than my books normally use. But that constraint fits well with the […]
Most of the Yabbies novel is made up of story-fragments that in principle could come together in any sequence: we make sense of them in whatever way we choose.
What follows is perhaps my favourite story-fragment, “Mishie’. (A gentle reminder that it’s fiction? ) A bit of context first, though. The fragment takes place perhaps […]
All right, I admit it: my novel Yabbies doesn’t say much about real-life yabbies. In fact they only put in one cameo appearance in the whole book:
“Yabbies. Funny little things, all in their own world at the bottom of the dam. A bit like us, ain’t they? Can’t see a thing for all the mud […]

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 […]
Together with Rien Dijkstra and Pieter van der Ploeg, I have launched a new book project: The Sourcing Initiative: Enabling Collaboration. Read more about it on the new website, sourcing-it.org. The idea is that there are a lot of issues at stake in modern enterprises:
Our proposition is that the […]
