A week in Tweets: 6-12 March 2011

And another week’s collection of Tweets and links – this time the usual categories extended by Tweets from the Open Group conference in India. All after the ‘Read more…’ link, of course.

A week in Tweets: 27 February – 5 March 2011

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:

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?

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:

A week in Tweets: 23-29 January 2011

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 […]

Modelling people in enterprise-architecture

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 […]

A week in Tweets: 16-22 January 2011

Another week, another week’s worth of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course.

Models as decision-records (Enterprise Canvas)

This one is mainly about enterprise-architectures, but also applies to just about any other usage of models – visual, mathematical or whatever – in pretty much any other discipline.
There’s a common perception that a model represents some kind of reality, either in the present, the past, or some intended future.
To my mind, though, it more […]
