A week in Tweets: 10-16 July 2011

Oops… running late again… apologies. Here it is, anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, somewhat delayed. Hope it’s useful to someone, anyway. Usual categories, of course, after the ‘Read more…’ break.

Enterprise-architecture, business-models and all the usual ‘business big-picture’ stuff:

Is Archimate too IT-centric for enterprise-architecture?

Archimate aims to be the standard notation for enterprise-architectures. But has it become too IT-centric to be usable for that purpose? And is there any way we can get it to break out of the IT-centric box?
These questions came up for me whilst exploring the architectural processes we could use in expanding a business-model developed […]

Why the bottom-line doesn’t come first in enterprise-architecture

Yep, it’s red-rag time, folks…  Sometimes I really do despair of ‘enterprise’-architecture that completely fails to understand the difference between enterprise and organisation, or that mistakes the concerns of a single stakeholder group for the aims of the enterprise as a whole…
This came up yet again at the current Open Group conference in Austin. At […]

A week in Tweets: 03-09 July 2011

Almost catching up, for once – not quite a full week late. Here it is anyway: another week’s collection of Tweets and links, shuffled into the respective categories (or not, as the case may be). And, of course, the necessary ‘Read more…’ link:

Enterprise-architecture, business strategy and all manner of other business-big-picture themes:

florian__: Bottomline is, diagrams […]

A week in Tweets: 26 June – 2 July 2011

One of these weeks I’ll catch up… Yes, iit’s the previous week’s collection of Tweets and links, sorted into the usual categories (or non-categories) and, of course, preceded by that all-too-necessary ‘Read more…’ link:

Enterprise-architecture and all the various ‘business big-picture’ themes:

Where marketing meets enterprise-architecture

Rethinking the enterprise from a customer-centric perspective was another theme that came up in that conversation with Robert Phipps last week, in this case with a bit of virtual help from Chris Potts.
The ‘conventional’ way of viewing an enterprise is that of the stock-market – and, apparently, US commercial law – which seems to regard the […]

A week in Tweets: 19-25 June 2011

Yep, another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links. Usual categories, of course, after the inevitable (and necessary) ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise-architecture and all that business-ish big-picture stuff:

CreatvEmergence: RT @sheriherndon: “Complicated” is essentially mechanical. “Complex” is essentially relational. Complicated is about acting on. “Complex” is about acting with.

Enterprise-architecture as vectors

A great conversation yesterday evening with a former colleague from Sydney, Robert Phipps. Rambling over a range of enterprise-architecture themes: about the distinctions between organisation and enterprise, about the role of values in the defining vision (or ‘venture’, as he put it – a useful term), about the flow of value around the shared-enterprise, and […]

A week in Tweets: 12-18 June 2011

Another somewhat-delayed collection of Tweets and links: make of it what you will. Usual categories, usual ‘Read more…’ link. Need you ask for more?

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and the business big-picture:

vernaallee: Fractals, complexity, simplicity and more RT @timkastelle: By @Digitaltonto: The Simple Dilemma http://bit.ly/iLX0I5 #entarch

Enabling the BMC with the power of Q

I threw the basic grid below together as a tool to reason and visualize about how developers, analysts and architects generally use the BMC. My suspicion was that most users of the BMC scatter their efforts across the grid with an emphasis on “Enable”. If that would prove to be the case then there is […]
