Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
This one’s been brewing for a while, but the final trigger to get it down in writing was a tweet from yesterday evening:
RT @vernaallee: RT @timkastelle: Good post & important point by @jorgebarba – It matters how you play the game. Not just being first http://bit.ly/lbAi6q

I am currently involved with the EAST group (an outreach group of SCiO http://www.scio.org.uk/ ) which is looking at the overlap between Enterprise Architecture and System Thinking, and in particular the Viable System Model (VSM). The Viable System Model has been around for many years, coming out of Stafford Beer’s work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Stafford_Beer This diagram looks complex at […]

The basic question I’m exploring visually here is “Is there another perspective to be found using the BMCanvas by Alexander Osterwalder at any orientation?” For the Architect (whatever prefix is used Business/Enterprise/IT) relating to the concept of different orientations may help in focusing the effort on the areas most important to the sponsor.

I must admit I’m pleased with this brief interview, filmed by the AV crew at AE Rio 2011 (many thanks, guys!). It covers a lot of ground in barely four minutes: the importance of stories and culture in enterprise-architecture, key differences in the Latin America market compared to elsewhere, and much else besides.

Yes, the Business actor concept in Archimate do make sense in conjunction with the organization unit concept in Togaf. At least the Archimate concept covers the Togaf concept good enough to make it usable. The match is to be found in how Archimate uses “departments” and “business units” as examples.

Oops. Careless. I’ve let it slip back again. Oh well. Another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links, then: still useful, I hope. Usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, business-innovation and likewise themes:

A busy week this has been. The Gartner EA Summit and the Open Group Enterprise Architecture Practitioners conference were both on in London at the same time, little more than a few hundred yards apart. And a lot of other things starting to happen in the enterprise scene as well: more good news on the […]

After two days of insightful keynotes, analyst presentations, workshops and networking, it was clear that business processes and EA are inherently and necessarily linked to one another. In a recent Gartner survey, improving and aligning business processes was cited as an EA priority […]
