Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
SOA is certainly not the only architectural approach that your enterprise will require. But it can smooth the alignment and adoption of other into an EA framework. So rather than reinvent the wheel, organizations should consider using a well-establishe…
And another delayed week’s-worth of Tweets and links. Usual and usual, preceded by usual. Enterprise-architecture and all the fun strategy-type stuff on business: chrisdpotts: RT @roygrubb: iPod. iPhone. iPad. Why Apple is Done Inventing New Devices. http://zite.to/o9pXGu #bmgen #bizarch SAlhir: RT @complexified RT @demingSoS “There is no point in asking #consumers – who do not […]
What would this ‘generic modelling metamodel’ look like? And how could we implement it? This continues the work from previous posts on this theme, such as ‘More detail on EA metamodel‘ and ‘EA metamodel and method‘. The legal bit: The aim is that this should contribute towards an open standard, and should not be used […]
How would this EA metamodel actually work? And why would we need it, given that we have more than enough frameworks and models already? This follows on from the earlier post ‘More detail on EA metamodel‘, and in particular part of a comment there from Stuart Boardman: I completely agree that method and governance should […]
Oops… badly behind on this, definitely need to do some catch-up. Oh well. A somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links, anyway. Usual this-that-and-the-other, with first the usual ‘Read more…’ link: Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture and all the business-big-picture themes: davidcushman: RT @OrenTodoros: Dude had to pay $250 for a stroller replacement part, so he 3D Printed it […]
Sometimes, I have a hard time being upbeat about the emergence of EA as a profession. This felling is especially acute when I come across a slick, well-prepared guide to Enterprise Architecture, written by an IT Architect, that is incomplete, ina…
Moving on to more detail on that EA metamodel. (By the way, a quick thank-you to Nic Plum and Sally Bean for really helpful peer-reviews on this. ) The legal bit: There’s a heck of a lot of unpaid work that’s gone into this, and also a lot of my own ‘prior art’ on these themes, […]

My earlier post ‘IT-centrism is killing enterprise-architecture‘ seemed to touch a nerve with quite a few folks: tetradian: [post] IT-centrism is killing enterprise-architecture http://bit.ly/p8kfqf (thx @dougnewdick) #entarch tonia_ries: The only thing that should be at the center of any business is the customer. @krcraft @tetradian krcraft: Agree, if staff also inc. as customers RT @tonia_ries […]
This week on Active Information I highlight an article on IT Failure from the September Issue of Harvard Business Review that is focused on Managing Complexity.
The authors describe what they learned by taking a radically different approach to the study of IT Failures. Ignoring averages and general trends, they worked from the Black Swan principle that “rare events can be more significant than average ones — and may occur more often than we think”.
Their findings were quite enlightening. Standish, et al, take notice. Even better, they offer new investment guidelines that every CxO should be aware of.

Time to get back to the themes from the post ‘More on that enterprise-architecture ‘help wanted’‘, with a focus on toolsets and metamodels. The usual approach to toolsets – just about any kind of toolset, as far as I can tell – is to describe the overall context, knock up a metamodel, and then build […]
