Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
You know how it is, you say stuff and you don’t expect it have any effect because you’ve said it over and over and no one’s listening. Well, did I get a surprise! Catching up with a couple of guys I’d done a project with quite some time back one of them ambushed with my […]
Catch-up time again, with another (somewhat delayed) week’s-worth of Tweets and links. Usual sort-of-categories in the usual sort-of way, with the usual no-quite-sort-of ‘Read more…’ link first: Business-oriented ‘big-picture’ stuff – enterprise-architecture, innovation, business-models, that kind of thing: unorder: New post – No fun at work: values in action http://is.gd/MIMMA4 >oops… espoused vs enacted values… […]
What is ‘Why?’ And why, anyway? “Oh no, not again“, do I hear you cry? Actually, it’s not as bad as that: it’s not going to be yet another of those long tedious technical posts – honest! (It is a sort-of technical question, I’ll admit. And, in the event, quite long. But interesting to just […]
Nothing new, just a reminder of how-to… There is perhaps nothing new in this post, still it may remind us of the fact that continuous improvement cycles should not stop. Five basic codes of conduct when doing consolidation Be inclusive – As you take inventory gather as much data as possible. Don’t be hampered by […]
Penn State University pulled together a video interview of industry thought leaders to get their perspectives on Enterprise Architecture. Architects Interviewed Len Fehskens – VP of Skills and Capabilities – The Open Group Rebekah Metz – Director of US Commercial…
The Archimate notation aims to be the standard to be used by everyone in enterprise-architecture and related fields. But what exactly is its anatomy – its underlying structure? And if it’s aimed at enterprise-architecture, what is it about that structure that makes it seem only to support IT-architecture, and in such an awkwardly IT-centric way?
(Apologies, folks, […]
Here recently there has been a fair amount of activity happing in academic community around enterprise architecture. Most notably Penn State University and Kent State University. Both focus on Enterprise Architecture but have differing approaches. This is clear of recognition…
In the wake of this historic, global economic downturn there is little room for error among financial services companies. Volatile market conditions, impending regulatory requirements, and an intense competitive atmosphere have banking and insurance companies of all sizes rethinking risk, streamlining operations, and seeking new ways to create a more adaptable enterprise.

Oops… running late again… apologies. Here it is, anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, somewhat delayed. Hope it’s useful to someone, anyway. Usual categories, of course, after the ‘Read more…’ break.

I wrote a post titled How Would You Reorganize an Application Service Delivery Model? in March 2010 and thought it was time to update you on the changes we made to our Application team. At that time, my team was structured by role: DBAs, Developers,…
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis: the old Hegelian triad. But what’s that got to do with enterprise-architecture and the like?
Quite a lot, as it happens – though we might need to take a detour or two to get there, of course.
One point is that it’s not quite as simple as ‘thesis, antithesis, synthesis’. In the classic […]
In most architecture related works there is a framework. The framework is most often a tool to enable the architects in creating plans and drawings. Another use of the framework albeit mostly from the viewpoint of the authors is to hold the majority of ideas within a reasonable sized knowledge domain.The third and perhaps most […]
