Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Yes, it’s another week, hence another set of Tweets and links. A few extra discussions this time, otherwise just the usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, strategy, innovation and other ‘businessy’ matters:
vernaallee: RT @tom_peters: All measurement systems should be chucked/given wholesale renovation every now & then. ALL ARE EVENTUALLY “GAMED” INTO MEANINGLESSNESS. <Ed Catmull gave a […]
Following on from the previous post on ‘Possessed by possession‘, if it’s true that there is no way to make a possession-based economy sustainable, then it seems worthwhile to take a look at some of the implications.
First, though, a story, and a warning, from history.
I’ll admit I’m no true scholar of Australian Aboriginal history or […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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? 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 […]
This one’s a return to the themes from that previous post on Power, people and responsibility in enterprise-architecture, and the dichotomy between power as ‘the ability to do work’ versus a supposed ‘power’ as ‘the ability to avoid work’.
We can also see this as the difference between yes and no; between for and against. In […]
A bit late this time – apologies. It’s, yes, another week’s worth of Tweets and links: usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and other ‘big-picture’ business-related items:
tetradian: [post] Models as decision-records (Enterprise Canvas) (for @ArchiTool) http://bit.ly/eKVBO7 #entarch #metamodel
ArchiTool: @tetradian Good post. Key words – story, capture, discuss, process, checklist. Capture in software? Words, pictures? Going […]
We really can’t explore the theme of people in enterprise-architecture without addressing the theme – and problem – of power.
In principle, power should be straightforward. The physics definition – roughly speaking – is that power is the ability to do work. Wherever there’s work to be done – in whatever form that that ‘work’ might […]
As mentioned in the previous post, one of the key characteristics of ‘crossing the chasm’ to a viable whole-of-enterprise architecture is the explicit inclusion of people. In short, we need to be able to model and map where people fit in relation to the architecture.
But there’s a catch. A big catch. People should not be […]
