TOGAF® Trademark Success

A week in Tweets: 23-29 January 2011

A bit late this time – apologies. It’s, yes, another week’s worth of Tweets and links: usual categories, of course.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and other ‘big-picture’ business-related items:

tetradian: [post] Models as decision-records (Enterprise Canvas) (for @ArchiTool) http://bit.ly/eKVBO7 #entarch #metamodel
ArchiTool: @tetradian Good post. Key words – story, capture, discuss, process, checklist. Capture in software? Words, pictures? Going […]

ArchiMate, BPMN and UML together

The question about “the remaining role of UML now that ArchiMate has arrived” generated an interesting discussion on ArchiMate LinkedIn group. Adrian Champbell‘s first comment was: Archimate was deliberately designed to be mappable to BPMN and UML, but not to replace them. Not parallel universes but complementary ones. Archimate is for modelling at an Enterprise […]

A week in Tweets: 9-15 January 2011

Another week and – here in southern Australia at least – one of extreme contrasts, with very heavy rainfall followed by blistering sunshine. Not sure if the same is true of the week’s collection of Tweets and links, but find it for yourself, anyway. Usual categories, of course.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, innovation and suchlike:

A kind of change-of-year review

Yes, it’s that time of year again, when it’s worthwhile reflecting on the old adage that we overestimate what we can do in a week, or a month, but underestimate what we can do in a whole year.
Right now I’m in one of those dreaded between-project spaces where nothing much seems to be happening. On […]

Week of Tweets – 27 Dec. 2010 – 2 Jan. 2011

Every week I read / react to lot of tweets / posts dealing with a lot of interesting stuff highlighting great content to be found on the web that can be of interest to many of my kinds. My only regrets is that I hardly keep memories of these interesting thoughts / information. This blog […]

The Independence of EA

#entarch Following my blogpost on EA and the Big Picture, @carlhaggerty asked does it matter if EA disappears into a core C-Suite competency?

Clearly it matters to some people, especially those who have committed themselves and their careers to the id…

Enterprise Architecture as the Office of the CEO

We are used to the idea of a Programme/Project Management Office (PMO) but often organisations fail to understand (or perhaps deliberately misunderstand) what the Enterprise Architecture function does. I propose that the Enterprise Architecture function is, in effect, an Office of the CEO, or an Office of the CEO and Strategic Change Management. The book […]
