Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
One of the practical problems of the innovator’s lifestyle is that, by definition, we tend to work a long way away (metaphorically speaking) from the mainstream. It’s true that there are some real advantages to playing the Outsider role – for example, it’s one of the few ways to bypass the ‘groupthink’ trap. Yet the […]
Gene Leganza (@gleganza) VP and Principal Analyst, Forrester Research Inc discusses and presents on Technology Trends. Gene used the following criteria (Impact, Newness, Complexity) to help describe the trends. In Oct 2010, Gene wrote about the Top …
Another week, another week’s worth of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course.
Enterprise architecture, business-architecture, strategy, business models and manner of related themes:

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 […]
Another week and – here in southern Australia at least – one of extreme contrasts, with very heavy rainfall followed by blistering sunshine. Not sure if the same is true of the week’s collection of Tweets and links, but find it for yourself, anyway. Usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and suchlike:
business_design: Capitalism2.0: 1) […]
Another collection of Tweets and links from a cold, wet summer in Australia: usual categories, of course, after the usual ‘Read more…’ break:

Managing to keep up to date at present, so here’s the list of Tweets and links for the week (and year) just past. Usual categories, of course.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business strategy and suchlike:

The architects who are first in the field and awaits the coming of the problem, will be fresh for the task; the architects who are second in the field and has to react to the problem will be worn out by the task. Therefore the clever architect imposes his will on the problem, but does […]
We are used to the idea of a Programme/Project Management Office (PMO) but often organisations fail to understand (or perhaps deliberately misunderstand) what the Enterprise Architecture function does. I propose that the Enterprise Architecture function is, in effect, an Office of the CEO, or an Office of the CEO and Strategic Change Management. The book […]
A somewhat smaller collection of Tweets and links this time – mainly because people are heading off into their various holiday-seasons, I guess. Same categories as usual, though, preceded by the usual ‘Read more…’ link.
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and similar business themes:
SAlhir: RT @GreatestQuotes “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should […]
We boarded the plane, settled down in our seats, to await pushback from the gate – the usual ‘hurry up and wait’ of everyday air-travel. Seemed to take a bit longer than usual, though. Strange clonks and thumps from beneath my seat, down below in the cargo bay. We wait, and we wait.

Finally catching up, though my cold is still such that I’m at risk of dripping into the keyboard – oh joys… Still, I do promise to return to other (more useful?) posts shortly – there’s quite a backlog built up whilst I’ve been sort-of out of action. In the meantime, yes, another week’s-worth […]
