Enterprise Architecture

A week in Tweets: 16-22 January 2011

by

Another week, another week’s worth of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course.

Enterprise architecture, business-architecture, strategy, business models and manner of related themes:

bartleeten: RT @PeterKretzman: Great description in FT of the “quintessential tightly coupled system”: HT @mkrigsman: “ordinary accidents” & IT failure http://bit.ly/gAqVrC #CIO <comparing risk-mgmt in banking to risk-mgmt in nuclear-power industry

The toolset-ecosystem

by

This one extends the models-for-enterprise-architecture theme from the previous post. Although for me this theme goes back a long way, the start-point here was a Tweet from Dutch EA consultant Martin van den Berg (@bergmart) that triggered off a veritable flurry of replies:

To my mind, though, it more […]

A week in Tweets: 9-15 January 2011

by

Another week and – here in southern Australia at least – one of extreme contrasts, with very heavy rainfall followed by blistering sunshine. Not sure if the same is true of the week’s collection of Tweets and links, but find it for yourself, anyway. Usual categories, of course.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and suchlike:

Currency, value and trust

by

More enterprise-architecture stuff, this time about the relationship between trust, value and money.
This starts from a Tweet by Swedish consultant Oscar Berg, which triggered off a back-and-forth flurry:

oscarberg: The main currencies of business have always been information & trust. They let us exchange favors, goods/money […]

All-inclusive Enterprise Architecture

by

That’s not the most appropriate title. My intention is not to dub another type of Enterprise Architecture (least of all one that sounds like a holiday package).
