Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
And finally close to catch-up (if I haven’t slipped again) – another week’s worth of Tweets and links. Lots of new stuff, of course, though nothing new as such in the categories, nor in the ‘Read more…’ link:
Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, strategy, innovation and suchlike:

Just posted on Slideshare my slidedeck ‘Unpacking Business-Architecture‘, from the Biner/OpenGroup enterprise-architecture conference in Stockholm earlier this week.
It also represented the first fully public outing for the Enterprise Canvas model, and, in effect, the launch for my latest book, Mapping the Enterprise, which focusses on the Enterprise Canvas.

“The most immediate and effective way to reduce costs is to use #entarch to stop or delay projects that are spending money.” My first thought was that using enterprise architecture for this purpose wasn’t likely to be…
@JohnSchlesinger asks What has the enterprise architect ever done for us? (@AtosOriginBlog, November 2010)
John criticizes the IBM strategy in the late 1980s, especially the emphasis on Systems Application Architecture (SAA) and the neglect of CICS an…
I recently picked up a copy of Troux Enterprise Architecture Solutions by Richard Reese. I have worked with Troux in a variety of capacities in the past along with stacking them up with the other large Enterprise Architecture Tool vendors….
I was on a biweekly EA2010 conference call today and got pretty frustrated with the discussion. There are some really amazing people like Brenda Michelson and Aleks Buterman on the call that get it and recognize that the value of Enterprise Architect…
There was a great discussion on Twitter today regarding influence, mandates, and leadership. My interest started with a tweet from Chris Venable, directed at Burton Group/Gartner EA analyst, Mike Rollings: If EA is so important, why must it do everything through influence? No one ever says that to the CIO… I thought this was a […]
A key to any Enterprise Architecture program is solution architecture. Solution architecture is where work gets done. If your EA team is disconnected from the solution architecture effort, you’ll probably hear the term “ivory tower” a lot. Unfortunately, it’s far more common than you may think. Looking the typical project, the first question is where […]
On Twitter, Brenda Michelson of Elemental Links started a conversation with the question: Do #entarch frameworks enable or constrain practice of (value from) enterprise architecture? In my comments back to Brenda, it became clear to me that there’s a trap that many teams fall into, not just Enterprise Architecture, and that’s falling into an inward […]
There are still organisations that have not yet established an Enterprise Architecture function. A simplistic and immature view of the Enterprise Architecture function is that it is only used to create a target architecture model for the IS/IT architectures that enable the IS/IT Strategies, create IS/IT roadmaps, and generally act as a Technical Design Authority […]
Organisations always have an implicit architecture, but not always an explicit architecture. If they do have an explicit architecture, the chances are that it is an IT Architecture that has evolved over the course of hundreds of little decisions made by developers and project managers over the years. Perhaps these decisions have been made by […]
