by

The words Enterprise Architecture often elicit a predictable reaction: a nod of polite acknowledgement, sometimes tinted by mild apprehension or indifference. Somewhere along the line, it became something that busily hums behind the scenes, tucked away in senior briefing decks or internal frameworks, occasionally referenced but rarely felt at the grassroots. Yet that quiet presence hides a paradox.
