Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
What ontology-frameworks do we need, to make sense of the enterprise-architecture of a logistics-business? This is the first of five worked-examples of metaframeworks in practice – on how to hack and ‘smoosh-together’ existing frameworks to create appropriate tools to help…
If most of the frameworks we use in enterprise-architecture are ‘smooshed together’ from other frameworks, according to the needs of the context, then how do we do that ‘smooshing together’? More to the point, when and how and why should we…
Architects produce many types of models. One useful distinction is between AS-IS models (which describe the current situation) and TO-BE models (which describe some projected future situation). If we can compare an AS-IS model with a TO-BE model, we ca…
Defeat Darwinian Enterprise Model that is Adaptive, rather strive to achieve Generative Model that is transformative creating rich diversity from minimal sets. Connect – Strategy – Architecture / Operations – Implementation
The real art of enterprise-architecture, and perhaps its hardest challenge, is in presenting the right level of detail. Not too little, not too much, but just enough. Just Enough Detail. To which people will, of course, immediately ask, “Okay, but how much detail is ‘Just Enough Detail’?”. And I’ll have to admit that there isn’t […]

Typically, the world of EA is boring. In this last few weeks, all bets are off as John Zachman goes to court and questions are raised about the near term and long term effects to the commercialization of EA Frameworks and the EA certification marketplace. It’s still early days, but challenges from the “father of EA” require consideration.

The post John Zachman is Dead, Long Live John Zachman appeared first on Philip Allega.
My friend Nick Malik wrote a post – Zachman’s Fatal Flaw: No Row for Customer. Here is my response … Do I believe that Zachman’s Framework is fatally flawed? No. It all depends on your perspective and that to me is defined by your…
Yes, you need a LinkedIn Account. And yes, you have to be a member of Enterprise Architecture Network. But those two prerequisites are not very difficult to obtain. Meanwhile, there are a couple of very interesting discussions going o…
This post comes out of a quick, but deep, conversation with @cybersal after the first dinner of the architect irregulars twittergroup at Gopals on 20091125. Other members in attendance were: @richardveryard, @taotwit, @Rsessions, @mattdeacon, and @hst…
