Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
A short one today. I have a view taken from a certain book. The view contains an error, can you spot it? And when you have spotted it, go to the ArchiMate 2.1 Specification and can you tell me what … Continue reading →
For those of you that are seasoned users of BiZZdesign Architect and the ArchiMate modelling capability, you may be aware of the ‘Auto-layout’ functionality built into the modelling canvas. After generating a view from the model, the results aren’t always perfect.
How do we use SCORE, as a practical, more strategy-oriented replacement for SWOT? These are some additional notes as a follow-up and extension to the previous post ‘Simplifying SCORE‘. They perhaps apply in particular to the new simplified layout for…

What tool or graphic would you use to guide a quick exploration of strategy or tactics? Many people would use SWOT, of course – the classic 2×2 grid of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats: The catch is that it’s very limited…
Just a short mention here: I’ve just published a new column on the site of the Enterprise Architecture Professional Journal titled Reverse Cloud. It deals with the latency effect in networks (which is thoroughly explained in an aside) and describes a scenario … Continue reading →

This model is part of my toolbox for working with capability architectures. The Capability Inventory I know that there is certain ways of naming a capability and also that there are other principles that people and I promote that you should adhere to when designing your capability map.
