A week in Tweets: 24-30 April 2011

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:

SAlhir: RT @FasTake @Agotthelf: The Cultural Imperative For A Social Business http://om.ly/BSkbQ >business-culture at Yammer
SAlhir: RT @DavidHolzmer: Art of the Dumb Question | transformation […]

A week in Tweets: 17-23 April 2011

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:

jdevoo: RT @jpertusa: Fascinating! TED: Repository of open source hardware for development http://bit.ly/fywYGn #sustainability #entarch
JohnPolgreen: RT @pbmobi: real architecture=something where there was an […]

A week in Tweets: 10-16 April 2011

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

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 […]

‘Ba’, Cynefin, place and architecture

Just been reading (via Tweet by Bill Ives) a post by Anne Marie McEwan on ‘Loosening the Taylorist Stranglehold on the Workplace‘. Within a much larger context in a very good article, this one brief section caught my attention:
The Japanese concept of ‘ba’ came up in one of the face-to-face conversations. … Nonaka et al say that […]

More on ‘Not-quite VPEC-T’

[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 […]

Enterprise architecture as language

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 […]

A week in Tweets: 3-9 April 2011

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

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:

oscarberg: RT @Digitaltonto: New Blog Post: 3 Levels of Strategy http://ow.ly/1bWrS6 #bmgen #bizarch #entarch
craighepburn: Great post […]

A week in Tweets: 20-26 March 2011

Still on catchup. but getting close: the previous week’s collection of Tweets and links; usual categories, of course. (The Tweets from the Troux EA conference, which also took place during this week, are already posted here and here.) It’s all there, after the ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-models and all manner of business-type stuff:

SianVanEs: @tetradian […]

A week in Tweets: 13-19 March 2011

Badly behind schedule again, mainly for reasons that are explained here. Never mind: here’s another week’s collection of Tweets and links, usual categories and so on. Over to you?

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

On being and becoming

Just one of those too-early-in-the-morning ideas that arise between getting up and getting moving for the day.
Been thinking back to my (too-many) years of programming, and the various ways we described the process of change, right down at the level of code.
As a language, English fits quite well with the ideas we express in software. […]
