We stand atop the shoulders of giants when we gaze at the majestic ruins of the Parthenon or wander through the crisp geometry of a Doric temple. It may not seem obvious at first, but the foundations of Enterprise Architecture are laid on the same principles that guided the stone masons of ancient Greece — balance, clarity, purpose, and adaptability.
