IT Made Simple

What would it take for your business to view IT as a valuable, essential partner instead of an annoying cost-center that they’re forced to deal with? Wouldn’t that be better for you and better for them?

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.

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 […]

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.

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:

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:

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:

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.

Enterprise architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, business-innovation and other ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

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:
