Enterprise Architecture state and causes in ten points
People don’t even know how an Enterprise Architecture looks like.
EA, SOA and other technologies
Is the Enterprise Architect leading the enterprise development?
The EA architect does not replace though the strategist, the business process man, the quality team… The architect just provide the tool, the context, the principles…
Enterprise Architecture state and causes (iv)
…the difference between functions, capabilities, processes, value streams, value chains… should be sufficiently clarified before even attempting to integrate them in the EA framework and whole
Enterprise Architecture state and causes (iii)
While the customers and stakeholders are not complaining, little can be done. This is the main reason for the lethargy of EA.

Open CA and Enterprise Architecture certification, take it or leave it? (II)
Since an EA practice is successful if and only if it delivers the EA first, how would one define the certification criteria to validate the EA outcome if it is unclear what the EA delivers?
Open CA and Enterprise Architecture certification, take it or leave it?
We have, obviously, the problem of regulating the EA profession. Currently, many do take EA training and certifications in the hope they’d improve their career prospects. But do they improve or guarantee the practitioners’ prowess to do the job?
Critique of the Enterprise Architecture state
Currently, there are too many EA frameworks that crowd the EA field, too many development approaches, too many insufficient metamodels… and too many parties that claim to hold the truth. Since the approaches or parties have little in common they bew…
