A week in Tweets: 24-30 April 2011

by

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:

Great conversations on enterprise-architecture

by

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 […]

A week in Tweets: 17-23 April 2011

by

Still in catch-up, as seems to occur all too often – apologies. Another week’s-worth of Tweets and links, anyway. Usual categories, of course, after the usual ‘Read more…’ link.

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

JohnPolgreen: RT @pbmobi: real architecture=something where there was an […]

A week in Tweets: 10-16 April 2011

by

Another week’s collection of Tweets and links. Running a bit late with this one – a lot of time and effort for the AERio conference, and then allowed myself to get distracted by the Libyan mess, which was not a good idea. Oh well. Usual categories, anyway, after the usual Read more’ link.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, […]

Fact and propaganda: war and real-time social-media

by

Right now I should be writing a formal paper on enterprise-architecture and social-media. Instead I’ve been tracking one small yet deeply fascinating (literally…) aspect of the rebellion in Libya: the social-media ‘war’ that’s happening on the LiveBlog pages (e.g. April 27, April 28) of the Al Jazeera English-language website.
I’m a complete outsider, of course, relative […]

More on ‘Not-quite VPEC-T’

by

[Updated to incorporate changes suggested by Nigel Green in the first comment in the comments-section below.]
A great conversation last night with Nigel Green, originator of the VPEC-T frame to elicit requirements and other concerns in enterprise-architecture and business-change design.
As described in my post ‘Not quite VPEC-T‘ back in November, the ’service-flow content’ part of my […]

Why ‘engineering the enterprise’ doesn’t work

by

Whilst at the AE-Rio 2011 enterprise-architecture conference, I had the pleasure of sitting through yet another presentation by John Zachman. (He’s the only presenter I know who can get away with reading every word of every slide on a very old-fashioned overhead projector. )
Yet much though I like him as a person, and […]

Enterprise architecture as language

by

Each enterprise has its own distinct language. More to the point, the enterprise-architecture is a language.
I probably need to take a step or two back at this point…
For quite some while I’ve been using the metaphor of ‘hologram’ to describe how we collect and store and describe information about the enterprise. Once we’ve done the […]

‘Enterprise-architecture beyond IT’ – presentation from AE-Rio 2011

I’ve now uploaded to Slideshare my presentation from the excellent AE Rio 2011 enterprise-architecture conference in Rio de Janeiro earlier this week.

A week in Tweets: 3-9 April 2011

by

Another week passed by, this time with somewhat of an overload of Tweets and links. (The week also included a lot of back-and-forth on Roger Sessions’ new paper, as described here.) Over to you for the detail, in the usual categories, of course: it all happens after the ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise architecture, business-architecture, business strategy, […]

A week in Tweets: 27 March – 2 April 2011

by

Slipping back a bit – time to catch up with the previous week’s Tweets and links. Usual categories, nothing particularly different in that this time. After the ‘Read more…’ link, of course.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business strategy and the usual business-big-picture-type stuff:

Agility needs a backbone

by

Something that’s been concerning me quite a bit over the past year or so in enterprise-architecture has been the over-obsession with agility: agility for its own sake, perhaps, without much thought behind it, much thought about why or how we need to be so agile.
No matter what it is, it seems – whether in IT-architectures, […]
