A week in Tweets: 28 August – 03 September 2011

More on simplified Enterprise Canvas

Following on from the previous post on ‘Simplifying the Enterprise Canvas‘, a few more notes on how to use the notation, and some practical matters on modelling. Perhaps not quite as technical as some of the other recent posts, but I’ll admit that if enterprise-architectures and the like are not of much interest to you, […]

  • Change This – The Art of Hassle Map Thinking

    “Yet we’ve found that organizations that excel at demand creation do exactly that. They examine the lives of customers through the lens of what we call a Hassle Map-a detailed study of the problems, large and small, that people experience whenever they use their products.”

  • Change This – The Six Rules Women Must Break in Order to Succeed

    I like: “Proceed until apprehended”

    “We all have thoughts that limit our potential. Some of these beliefs come from our individual experiences; they take hold over the years. “I’m not good at taking credit. I’m much better working behind the scenes. I’m lucky to have this job.” Other beliefs are a result of the gender stereotypes that are all around us. They creep into our heads over time. “It’s my job to nurture everyone else before I take care of my own needs. I am selfish and self-centered if I choose to indulge my ambition.” Still others are simply erroneous conventional wisdom. “I can have it all without compromise. I’m a failure if I can’t make it look easy.”

    We get in our own way when we buy-into these limiting beliefs. But it does not have to be that way. We can nurture the beliefs that will sustain us and help us grow. To rise to the highest ranks in business, women need to unwind some of the traditional thinking that holds us back. We need to rethink the conversations we are having in our heads and tell ourselves a new story. We need to break our own rules.”

Simplifying the Enterprise Canvas

The Enterprise Canvas is a model-type for use in enterprise-architecture, that can be used to describe any aspect of the enterprise, providing a consistent, unified view all the way from strategy to execution. But can we simplify it so as to build support for it in existing EA toolsets? The full specification for Enterprise Canvas […]
