With the advent of EA, the whole Enterprise should be better understood, its operation streamlined, the strategy effectively mapped, duplications reduced, projects aligned in a portfolio with dependencies cleared, and prioritization improved... Frameworx, representing in fact a reference integrated business architecture would constitute the backbone of an EA solution. The method discussed here may be used to evaluate the value of applying Frameworx to your business. I once classified the principal... -
"There is an argument that the Enterprise Architect is a leader in the transformation of the Enterprise and a participant in the business decision making process. Right now, this is not the case but the trend points in that direction. But what is a leader or leadership for that matter? And what is it compared to management? Management is about organization, control, planning and budgeting. Leadership is about motivation, mobilization, creating the vision and establishing the culture and relationships... -
Ruediger Spies, vice-president of enterprise applications at IDC Central Europe, at IDC’s "SOA and Beyond" Conference 2010 said that business spending on SOA will grow by up to 25 percent worldwide by 2013. Good news for SOE. Here is the post . Spies said that SOA, if designed properly, will provide the basis for BPM strategies, which he described as a "pretty small step" from cloud computing. He also emphasized that "although integration is one of the key challenges of cloud... -
This is a light posting in preparation for the Easter break. As an aside to the architecture posts, I would like to share with you this link about communications . In spite of everything, isn’t the industry we work in "communications"? We never do enough about communication at own peril. How do we get it right? When, at some point in my career, I used to work in speech intonation synthesis and recognition, it was said that tone counts more than words; like "Yes, right", meaning... -
This is to draw caution. Service Orientation and Enterprise Architecture are without a doubt, the way. And Frameworx includes elements of both. But a careless execution could spell failure. SOA, in a W3C definition, means "a set of components which can be invoked and whose interface definitions can be published and discovered." A dram too simple to my liking. From an IT point of view, SOA is an integration technology for application services. A service is an application component which... -
What are the characteristics of pseudo-science? Here is Beyerstein's list of characteristics of pseudoscience as exposed in Patrick’s Lambe’s post on “ Is KM a pseudoscience? “: Isolation – failure to connect with prior and parallel disciplines Non-falsifiability – no means to invalidate hypotheses Misuse of data – leveraging data out of context or beyond validity No self-correction, evolution of thought – often centred round a single ‘thought-leader’ Special-pleading – the claim that this is... -
"...Our natural inclination is to reduce matter first to molecules and then to atoms... But this approach...does not always work. In other words, the whole can often be more than the sum of the parts. Just consider the beautiful patterns created by large flocks of birds flying in the sky, which cannot be explained by understanding in ever greater detail the physiology of those birds. It is the interactions between the birds that are the key: the patterns form if each individual simply keeps... -
I choose to chat again about Enterprise Architecture and EA frameworks. "If you have ever watched a house being built, or if you have ever had an addition put onto an existing house, you know that the standard method of communication is a big piece of paper called a blueprint. Blueprinting is the standard method used to copy large architectural and construction drawings. A blueprint used to consist of white lines on a blue background. A more recent process uses blue lines on a white background... -
"Despite SOA adoption being the highest in Europe (nearly 70% of European organizations), few companies master the art of building SOA, and the more difficult art of using it to a company's advantage. In times when it is absolutely vital to prove the value of every initiative, this session will introduce the content of the conference and start unveiling how SOA can contain costs, get more out of your existing assets, exploit discontinuities in the market, and simply ride a disruptive innovation... -
How do we employ our Business Process Framework, eTOM, to align, improve, implement... our processes? Here are a couple of interesting articles from BPTrends that may help us, about processes, re-use and why not practices and culture. Also, for the architect a reference to SOA Consortium's business architecture. “What happens when well-designed processes do not align with the practices of the supervisors who perform them? ... Even with well designed processes, the behavioural practices of groups...
