A week in Tweets: 31 July – 06 August 2011

Another somewhat-delayed week’s-worth of Tweets and links, organized in the usual way with the usual categories and the usual ‘Read more…’ break: Anything to do with enterprise-architecture and all the other usual business-big-picture stuff: tetradian: [post] The is-ness of business http://bit.ly/pR0YbC #entarch tetradian: [post] Questions on business-model to enterprise-architecture http://bit.ly/pD8pRZ #entarch #bizarch #bmgen (for @ArtBourbon) […]

More on that enterprise-architecture ‘help needed’

Given the responses to my previous post ‘Guess I could do with some help here…‘, seems it’d be useful if I clarify a bit more what kind of help I most need. (Or we need, rather, as an industry and discipline: probably the only ‘I’-part here is that I seem to be one of the […]

Anti-clients, kurtosis-risks and public riots

In quite a few of my posts on enterprise-architecture, you may have seen two unfamiliar terms: anti-client, and kurtosis-risk. To see these two concepts in real-world action, and to get some understanding of how important they are in enterprise-architecture practice, you need look no further than the rioting that’s been taking place in London and […]

A week in Tweets: 24-30 July 2011

It’s another week. Which means another (slightly-delayed) week’s-worth of Tweets and links. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link: Enterprise-architecture, business-strategy and all the business-big-picture stuff: jdevoo: How to set sustainability goals http://j.mp/qb6WX0 >> applying SMART principles #entarch jdevoo: Designing a sustainability dashboard? Modeling is not optional http://j.mp/p7PQA8 #entarch greblhad: Anyone has input on using  http://ideascale.com/ […]

A week in Tweets: 17-23 July 2011

Catch-up time again, with another (somewhat delayed) week’s-worth of Tweets and links. Usual sort-of-categories in the usual sort-of way, with the usual no-quite-sort-of ‘Read more…’ link first: Business-oriented ‘big-picture’ stuff – enterprise-architecture, innovation, business-models, that kind of thing: unorder: New post – No fun at work: values in action http://is.gd/MIMMA4 >oops… espoused vs enacted values… […]

Two kinds of Why

What is ‘Why?’ And why, anyway? “Oh no, not again“, do I hear you cry? Actually, it’s not as bad as that: it’s not going to be yet another of those long tedious technical posts – honest! (It is a sort-of technical question, I’ll admit. And, in the event, quite long. But interesting to just […]

A week in Tweets: 10-16 July 2011

Oops… running late again… apologies. Here it is, anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, somewhat delayed. Hope it’s useful to someone, anyway. Usual categories, of course, after the ‘Read more…’ break.

Enterprise-architecture, business-models and all the usual ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

vernaallee: RT @siraju: John Seddon: Why Lean is a Wicked Disease http://bnet.io/dBvsFj #lean #collab #orgarch […]

Analyst, anarchist, architect

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis: the old Hegelian triad. But what’s that got to do with enterprise-architecture and the like?
Quite a lot, as it happens – though we might need to take a detour or two to get there, of course.
One point is that it’s not quite as simple as ‘thesis, antithesis, synthesis’. In the classic […]

Why business-model to enterprise-architecture?

Yes, I admit it: I’ve been kinda pouring out the posts lately. Sorry…
But why all this fuss about business-models and enterprise-architecture? What’s the point about the bottom-line not being the baseline to work from? If everyone’s selling something to someone, is there really any difference between a for-profit and a non-profit business-model? And who would […]

A week in Tweets: 03-09 July 2011

Almost catching up, for once – not quite a full week late. Here it is anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, shuffled into the respective categories (or not, as the case may be). And, of course, the necessary ‘Read more…’ link:

Enterprise-architecture, business strategy and all manner of other business-big-picture themes:

florian__: Bottomline is, diagrams […]

A week in Tweets: 26 June – 2 July 2011

One of these weeks I’ll catch up… Yes, iit’s the previous week’s collection of Tweets and links, sorted into the usual categories (or non-categories) and, of course, preceded by that all-too-necessary ‘Read more…’ link:

Enterprise-architecture and all the various ‘business big-picture’ themes:

SAlhir: RT @Jabaldaia Combining #innovation, #business and #art http://bit.ly/ebyrzD #entarch
SAlhir: RT @Digitaltonto Postcards from the […]

A week in Tweets: 19-25 June 2011

Yep, another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course, after the inevitable (and necessary) ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise-architecture and all that business-ish big-picture stuff:

CreatvEmergence: RT @sheriherndon: “Complicated” is essentially mechanical. “Complex” is essentially relational. Complicated is about acting on. “Complex” is about acting with.
