Possessed by possession?

In case you hadn’t noticed, there are some big changes happening right now in the wider world… Lots and lots of them, at every scale and in just about every major context, from political to social, environmental to technological, and much else besides.
Myself, I look at all of these things with an enterprise-architect’s eye – […]

A week in Tweets: 20-26 February 2011

A somewhat skimpy week of Tweets and links this time, as I missed out on most of a couple of days in transit from Australia back to England: hope it’s useful, anyway. Usual categories, of course: over to you?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and other business-type stuff:

oscarberg: “We must destroy the concept of the CEO. The […]

At Integrated EA conference

Spent part of this week at the Integrated Enterprise Architecture conference in London. And for me, it was a real refreshing change from the usual banks / insurance / finance / tax focus of most of what passes for ‘enterprise’-architecture these days. Instead of the (literally) imaginary world of money and information, almost all of the […]

A week in Tweets: 13-19 February 2011

Running late again – apologies… (Would you accept “out of my skull on jet-lag” as an excuse? ) The links and Tweets from last week, anyway: usual categories, of course, preceded by the usual ‘Read more’ link.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and related businessy stuff:

getstoried: RT @BBrands: Your brand is far more that […]

A week in Tweets: 06-12 February 2011

Another week – a busy one, this time. There were all the Tweets from the Open Group San Diego conference (previously posted here); but beyond that, two great back-and-forth conversations, on top of all the usual Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course: read more?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and other ‘business’-type themes:

CreatvEmergence: “create without possessing, […]

Belonging

A great conversation yesterday with Australian facilitator Helena Read, around the word ‘belonging’, and how it links with vision and enterprise-vision.
In the enterprise, vision is the anchor for everything: the quality-system, the business-purpose, the enterprise itself. It’s a very human focus, literally emotive: “that which gets me out of bed in the morning”, and so […]

A week in Tweets: 30 January – 05 February 2011

And yes, another week whooshed past – where’d it go? But if a week’s gone past, it also means another week’s collection of Tweets and links, so here ‘tis: usual categories, of course. Read on?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and other ‘big-picture’ business themes:

kvistgaard: “new business models…are…necessary for survival. And they must be so designed that they […]

Why vision?

Why vision? Whose vision? What do we mean by ‘enterprise vision’, anyway? And who’s responsible for it? – who should create it?
This enquiry arose from a great multi-way Twitter-conversation following my previous post ‘Yes and No‘:

tetradian: [post] Yes and no:  a question of commitment http://bit.ly/fJUqcA #entarch #culture #responsibility
MartinHowitt: @tetradian if an explicit vision does not […]
