5. VALUE USING EA
Without Architecture:
Without architecture, all the individual
decisions of stakeholders are not aligned.
Without architecture to guide and align
these decisions, however, these decisions tend
to be at odds and the whole is not greater than
the sum of the parts.
With Architecture:
Architecture is what provides the context for
all the individual decisions to be aligned with
the vision and strategic direction. It is what
provides focus and leverage, and concentration
of energy, powering the other organizational
strategies capability essential to execution of
the business strategy.
