At every turn from agrarian to industrial to informative to creative, fundamental changes occurred in how business was done and in the principles of business management. These changes, although seemingly unrelated to a field like Enterprise Architectur…
Here below is a list of titles of ongoing projects by students at the IT University.
Most of the students are always interested in speaking with experts and practitioners in their areas, so if you are such and want to speak to students, let me know. If you are looking for a fresh graduate to […]

In order to solve a problem, you have to know the problem you are solving. In a growing number of organizations, Enterprise Architecture is responsible for insuring the alignment of business change programs (including but not limited to programs …
And yes, another week whooshed past – where’d it go? But if a week’s gone past, it also means another week’s collection of Tweets and links, so here ‘tis: usual categories, of course. Read on?
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy and other ‘big-picture’ business themes:

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:
