Another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links: make of it what you will. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link. Need you ask for more?

The Sponsoring checklist As you get into it you need some help. Help can come in many forms, mostly what is required is network, money and knowledge. To get that you try to secure the support of sponsors in the form of investors. To ease the communication with the different types of sponsors a basic […]

Enabling the BMC with the power of Q

by

I threw the basic grid below together as a tool to reason and visualize about how developers, analysts and architects generally use the BMC. My suspicion was that most users of the BMC scatter their efforts across the grid with an emphasis on “Enable”. If that would prove to be the case then there is […]

It’s a week. Another week. Gosh. This one starts from 5th June, as the page-header suggests. Make of it what you will. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link: what more could you ask?

Enterprise-architecture and any of the ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

Yep, it’s that time again – when I try once more to catch up on the backlog of Tweets and links. Another week’s worth, only slightly out-of-date; usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link:

Enterprise-architecture and all that ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

The perils of prior-art (Five Elements)

by

I’m sitting in a friend’s office, talking about book-production and enterprise-architecture. Whilst he’s struggling with his recalcitrant computer, my eyes drift to a Wikipedia page pinned on the wall just beyond his head. ‘Galbright_star_model.png‘, says the label. A five-pointed star, apparently describing some kind of business-related concepts. Interested. Look at it again, notice the word […]

The delay. The list. The Tweets. The links. That set of categories. All as usual. All preceded by the possibly-exciting ‘Read more…’ link. ‘Nuff said, probably?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, strategy and suchlike stuff:

Respect as an architectural issue (IRM-EAC 2011)

by

I had an excellent time at the IRM-EAC 2011 conference in London this past week. Part of that was because Sally Bean and Roger Burlton had had the courage to bring their previously-separate EA (architecture) and BPM (process) conferences together, creating an immensely valuable mix across the whole business-change space. For me, the conference started […]

by

We come now to the question of establishing the architecture function within the organization as a whole, and observing signs of change to the architecture from the incoming demands. For this I have 28 insights to share among the five thousand insights you posses. Seek sponsorship from high places, facing the customers. Do not try […]

And it’s catch-up time again… not too delayed this time, though. A rather larger collection of Tweets and links this week – not sure why. Usual categories, usual comments or tags in italics, usual ‘Read more…’ link. As usual.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and the usual stuff that goes around business big-picture:

Almost catching up on the backlog: the last week’s collection of Tweets and links, only a few days late! Usual categories, of course, after the usual ‘Read more…’ link.
