Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
The illusions of process architectures Most of the time people expect that a process is a linear execution of activities that has been predetermined, some people call this the happy path (top illustration) and expect that this is the way things should work. On other occasions people realize that processing is a bit more complex […]

I have recently had the need to think about messages, events, and state. I may have finally caught up to where Nigel Green was three years ago!These three ideas are often bundled together, but really they represent different things. And when we try to …

What are the different types of assets that we need to deal with in an enterprise-architecture? What implications arise across the architecture from the differences between these types? In the first post in this series, we identified four distinct asset-dimensions: physical: physical ‘thing’ – independent, tangible, transferrable, alienable virtual: data, information, idea – independent, non-tangible, transferrable, non-alienable […]

What are the different types of assets that we need to deal with in an enterprise-architecture? What implications arise across the architecture from the differences between these types? In the previous post in this series, we looked at the concept of four distinct asset-dimensions: Physical, Virtual, Relational and Aspirational. The same dimensions carry right the […]
What data do we use to make decisions? Do we rely on the most up to date information possible? Do we use rough approximations? How do we reason about our decision thinking. Taking a concrete example first, I will then look for further insights and, of …
