Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
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:

Software-architect extraordinaire Simon Brown kindly pointed me to the InfoQ article ‘Agile and Architecture Conflict‘, which summarised the views of various folks on the ‘agile vs architecture’ debate, including myself, Simon and another of my regular co-creators (co-conspirators? ), Jan van Til, all of us looking at different aspects of the idea that […]
Yep, it’s that time again – when I try once more to catch up on the backlog of Tweets and links. Another week’s worth, only slightly out-of-date; usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link:
Enterprise-architecture and all that ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

I’m sitting in a friend’s office, talking about book-production and enterprise-architecture. Whilst he’s struggling with his recalcitrant computer, my eyes drift to a Wikipedia page pinned on the wall just beyond his head. ‘Galbright_star_model.png‘, says the label. A five-pointed star, apparently describing some kind of business-related concepts. Interested. Look at it again, notice the word […]
Just a simple idea that came up whilst I was pondering why the mix of EA (enterprise architecture) and BPM (business-process management) worked so well at the combined IRM-EAC / IRM-BPM conference last week.
I’ve long said that enterprise architecture is about structure and purpose, but I realised a few days ago that we can also […]
The delay. The list. The Tweets. The links. That set of categories. All as usual. All preceded by the possibly-exciting ‘Read more…’ link. ‘Nuff said, probably?
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, strategy and suchlike stuff:

I had an excellent time at the IRM-EAC 2011 conference in London this past week. Part of that was because Sally Bean and Roger Burlton had had the courage to bring their previously-separate EA (architecture) and BPM (process) conferences together, creating an immensely valuable mix across the whole business-change space. For me, the conference started […]
And it’s catch-up time again… not too delayed this time, though. A rather larger collection of Tweets and links this week – not sure why. Usual categories, usual comments or tags in italics, usual ‘Read more…’ link. As usual.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and the usual stuff that goes around business big-picture:

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 […]
