During last few years, role of Enterprise Architecture has expanded from technical to strategic in an Organization. This slide deck presents: Using Enterprise Architecture in your Organization.
This presentation provides an overview of Enterprise Architecture Frameworks. It is presented by the Semantech Inc. Enterprise Architecture Center of Excellence. The purpose of the briefing is to provide a better understanding of how Frameworks are used in the practice of EA.
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) I Best Practices I NuggetHubRichardNowack
Ā
Enterprise architecture management is a "management practice that establishes, maintains and uses a coherent set of guidelines, architecture principles and governance regimes that provide direction and practical help in the design and development of an enterprise's architecture to achieve its vision and strategy. In this business best practice slide deck you learn how to assess and setup Enterprise Architecture and Digital Architecture frameworks as well as a transformation plan.
We provide you with the following best practices:
- Need for Enterprise Architecture Management
- Enterprise Architecture Approach
- Architecture Target Picture Development
- Implementation Roadmap
It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution. In other words, doing things ārightā. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities. In other words, doing the āright thingsā to support the business.
Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation? What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes? What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value?
In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture.
Learning Objectives:
ā¢ How to build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture (EA) to deliver positive outcomes for your organization
ā¢ Identify the different roles and functions of the PMO and EA as well as their similarities
The challenge of alignment, integration and change in the development of e-services has gave attention to enterprise architecture. It provide the framework of engagement and thinking tool to define, elaborate, document, agree and communicate the strategic baseline, strategic intent, strategic architecture, strategic change and strategic resources in the development and improvement of e-services within the defined context and perspectives of time, stakeholders, performance, funds, environment, leadership and technology. The shared open presentation is a product of direct engagement with people of decision and work who are enabled to participate the formulation of enterprise architecture that matters to their performance.

Enterprise Architecture .vs. Collection of Architectures in EnterpriseYan Zhao

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is becoming popular in most private enterprises these days due to the practical needs in this era of IT, after its noticeable fading in public sectors. At this stage, the lessons learned from public sectors could be very helpful to the EA adoption in both public and private sectors in moving forward.
We noticed that there is still no unified answer regarding to what is EA and what should be in it. It is not rare to see that so called āEAā is to use an EA tool and/or an EA repository to collect all type of āarchitectureā artifacts inside enterprise. These āarchitectureā artifacts are developed in different timeframes, cover different level of content details, and are created from different perspectives for different purpose. While a real EA should consist of āarchitectureā artifacts in concert by planning ahead with a designated purpose for each view. The level of details is good enough to convey intent and to serve the purpose, no more and no less.
This presentation will discuss the differences between enterprise architecture and a collection of architectures in enterprise. Itāll help to clarify the focus in each phase and stage of EA development (e.g. in TOGAF) to ensure successful EA adoptions in solutions, initiatives, programs, and projects.
How do we explore the context for a business-architecture? Short-answer: raid the kids' toy-box!
This slidedeck provides a practical overview of how to explore and identify service-context or business-context, whilst developing a business-architecture. The key theme here is that it's easier to engage people in architecture-development if we make it both fun and thought-provoking, in an immediate, tangible way. As shown in the slidedeck, tools to do this include a wooden train-set and a Victorian toy-theatre - cheap, easily-obtainable and directly practical. Share And Enjoy!

Disintegrated EA? - how to fight against fragmentation of the architecture
What are the factors that cause fragmentation of an enterprise-architecture? And what can we do about them? Focussing more on the human-factors in enterprise-architecture, this presentation explores a set of meta-disciplines that can be used to guide EA practice - and 'Seven Sins of Dubious Discipline' that can lead us astray!
Presentation at Integrated-EA 2016, London, 2 March 2016
Integrated-EA http://www.integrated-ea.com/ is a conference on enterprise-architecture in Defence and related contexts - hence the military flavour of some of the content and visual-jokes in the slidedeck.
(In case the number of slides here causes you some concern: yes, it's almost 200 slides, but it's fast-paced - it all fits into a 30-minute conference-slot.)
Presentation at Open Day on Enterprise-Architecture and Systems-Thinking, London, 21 October 2104, for SCiO (Systems and Cybernetics in Organisations) http://scio.org.uk/
This used my development-work on the Enterprise Canvas framework as a worked-example of how we might create tools to bridge the gaps between enterprise-architecture and systems-thinking, in support of organisations' needs.
(This slidedeck also provides a useful overview and primer for Enterprise Canvas itself.)
This is an old slidedeck (March 2006) that I rediscovered the other day on my filesystem, but it still seems relevant in that, even at that early stage, it illustrates strong crosslinks between enterprise-architecture and systems-thinking - particularly service-oriented architectures, the 'tetradian' dimensions (here as machines, knowledge, people and business-purpose), and a somewhat-extended version of Stafford Beer's classic Viable Systems Model. It's also slightly unusual in that it cross-references to FEAF (US Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework) rather than TOGAF, as we'd found the latter to be unhelpful and misleading for that particular client. The client themselves were in the logistics industry - hence the pseudo-logo in the upper left of each slide.
It was a real presentation for a real client, presenting to other architects in our team some research I'd been doing, on how we could rethink our approach to enterprise-architecture as we started to break out of the classic IT-centric box. It's in a style I wouldn't use these days - way too many words! - and it's been somewhat 'de-identified' for reasons of commercial confidentiality, but otherwise it's exactly as presented to my colleagues at that client.
One minor note: the 'X/C/M/P' extensions to the Viable System Model, in slides 19, 20 and 28, relate to work we'd been doing at the time on integrating quality-system concerns - management of exceptions, corrective-action, issue-tracking and process-improvement - into both enterprise-architecture and the Viable System Model itself. I haven't seen any other reference to this type of integration, either before or since: it may be useful to quite a few people, on both the enterprise-architecture and systems-thinking sides of that discussion, and also to quality-system folks as well.
In short, yes, it's old, but it may still be useful for some folks in enterprise-architectures and elsewhere. Hope it helps, anyway.

The Australasian Architecture Network has hosted a number of recent meet ups aimed at educating talented people across a range of new technologies and technical areas. This time weāre looking at something much more important, the people. In particular it will focus on how you can get the best from the Architects in your business and how they can deliver the best results to you.
It will look at the age old debate which always exists in this field between art and science, the creative vs. the coder. What types of projects require what types of people and how do you get the best results from such a diverse range of individuals.

Invisible Armies: information, purpose and the real enterpriseTetradian Consulting
Ā
Presentation for Integrated-EA 2015 (enterprise-architecture conference, London, March 2015)
Every enterprise-architecture needs to address not only the visible elements of the context, but also its invisible elements - information, connections between people, and purpose.
(The focus of the conference is enterprise-architecture for the Defence context - hence the decidedly military flavour of the overall slidedeck and some of the visual-jokes. There's also some new work on complexity and the SCAN sensemaking/decision-making framework, around the importance and interdependence of 'commander's intent' and real-world information-flows.)
Enterprise architecture (EA) can potentially promote a common business vision within your organization, provide guidance to improve both business and IT decision making, and improve IT efficiencies. Unfortunately many EA teams struggle to provide these benefits, often because they are perceived as ivory tower or being too difficult to work with.
The adoption of disciplined agile and lean strategies that are based on collaboration, enablement, and streamlining the flow of work are the keys to EA success. Disciplined strategies that produce light-weight, yet still sufficient, artifacts are the key to your success. This presentation explores both the success factors and failure factors surrounding EA, pragmatic strategies for a lean/agile approach to EA, and how EA is supported and enhanced by the Disciplined Agile framework. This isnāt your grandfatherās EA strategy.

ACS EA-SIG - Bridging enterprise-architecture and systems-thinkingTetradian Consulting
Ā
Webinar for Australian Computer Society - Enterprise Architecture Special Interest Group, September 2015
A core aim in Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Systems-Thinking (ST): things work better when they work together on purpose. For this to happen, we need guided conversations that are actually everyoneās responsibility. What visual tools can we use to engage people in this?
This webinar introduces these concepts, and provides the tools and techniques need to bridge this gap. We will highlight some of the common approaches, frameworks and tools used in both of these highly related and important disciplines.
We will discuss how they can be used together and enhanced to deliver a common sense approach for everyday EA and ST practice. Included in this discussion is an introduction to the Enterprise Canvas, which is a powerful tool to enable visualisations of the enterprise by defining the services it offers and their relationships and interactions.
Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
Ā
To design business models of the future requires a comprehensive set of skills. The skills are diverse in nature and range from the typical business analysis delivery focused requirements management tools and techniques to the more business architect MBA style and business model innovation techniques.
But how can we leverage the two skillsets to create more cohesion in the industry?
Where is the overlap and is there a career path between the two?
What about the frameworks that support these two disciplines?
This presentation will deal with:
Shifts occurring in the market;
Where the business architect and the business analyst provide value individually;
Where the business architecture and the business analyst provide value together;
How are the disciplines merging; and what the future could look like.

Ā
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a structured method for developing enterprise architectures. As standard, its 'Phase B', 'Business Architecture', is an IT-centric way of viewing the business: we need to 'unpack' it to move to a more holistic view of the enterprise in which IT takes a more realistic role.

Keynote from Australasian Enterprise Architecture Conference, Sydney, 19 October 2015
http://enterprisearchitectureconference.com.au/
What is it that makes an enterprise into an enterprise? The answer is a storyā¦
Most current approaches to enterprise-architecture start from technology ā which works well enough if you are only working on the technology itself. But as enterprise-architecture expands outward into the business, or we need to work on ādigital transformationā where people and their needs necessarily come to the fore, a technology centred approach starts to show its limitations.
This lively session introduces a complementary, more people-oriented approach to enterprise-architecture, built around a concept of āthe enterprise as storyā. Weāll explore:
ā¢ what story is, in the context for enterprise-architecture
ā¢ how story acts as a unifying theme for the architecture
ā¢ how to identify and develop the enterprise-story
ā¢ how story underlies enterprise values and principles
ā¢ how story provides guidance and governance for information-architecture, technology-architecture, digital-transformation and service-design
After this session, youāll see your architecture with new eyes ā open to new possibilities and new ways to engage with all of your stakeholders in the broader business. Share and Enjoy!
Why do enterprise-architecture fail? Three of the most common causes are:
-- Blurring between the distinct rolesof architecture and design
-- Starting architecture too lateand/or finishing too early in the process for making something real
-- Placing arbitrary constraintson content, scope and/or scale
Each of these errors causes the architecture to fragment and then fail.
In this slidedeck, we explore the causes for each of these errors, why they occur, the effects that the errors have, and what to do to avoid them.
My presentation for Open Group London #ogLON enterprise-architecture conference, October 2013
Classic enterprise-architectures seem to focus mainly on IT and replicable IT-based processes. By contrast, many business-contexts such as healthcare, recruitment, education, customer-service and retail, all need to emphasise 'mass-uniqueness' - individual difference or uniqueness at scale. This slidedeck explores some of the themes and techniques that can be used to develop enterprise-architectures with appropriate balance between 'same' and 'different'.
As enterprise architecture expands outward towards the full whole-enterprise scope, what tools and methods will we need?

Session for IASA ITARC Conference on digital-transformation, London, 26 May 2017: https://www.iasaglobal.org/itarc-london-may/
By definition a transformation will always be complex, often to extremes. So how can we, as architects, address all of that complexity, and still stay somewhat sane?
One long-proven answer is the humble checklist ā a list of essential items that people tend to forget when the going gets tough. This session introduces a seven-point transformation-checklist for architects: purpose and story; scope and scale; governance; constraints; structure-flaws; test at the extremes; resistance to change.
This checklist can be used within almost any type of architecture-guided transformation. Weāll explore its practical application, usage and implications in a variety of real-world architecture contexts. But beware: you may be surprised at what a simple checklist can show youā¦

A unique reflection on different views of architecture. How to eliminate fears of change, work with cultural stereotypes, and how architecture is related to Czech black-humour and why we have a tendency, as architects, to cut ourselves down. Also, how the architect should prepare the 'battle-plan' and how to succeed in the fight itself.

What is data-driven architecture? And if we use one, what data should we use to drive it?
A data-driven architecture should provide many real advantages - timeliness, self-adapting to change, and more anchored in the real-world context. Yet we can only reach those advantages when we have the right data - so how do we identify the right data to use?
The danger with ādata-drivenā is that it often points us towards the wrong end of that challenge - the āWhatā of the data, rather than the āWhyā and āHowā that underpins the architecture itself. For example, one common trap is saying āWe have this data-source: how can we use it in our architecture?ā - the classic architecture-error called āsolutioneeringā.
Instead, we need to start our architecture at the other end, moving from stakeholders to story to solution. In this webinar weāll re-purpose the classic DIKW set - data information, knowledge, wisdom - to help us make sense of how a data-driven architecture actually operates, and thence point us towards the data-sources and sensors that we need to make it all work.

Enterprise Architecture: Perspectives, conflicts and how to resolve themTetradian Consulting
Ā
Slidedeck for Brighttalk webinar, 06 December 2017
Enterprise-architecture used to be about IT and not much else: but not any more. These days, enterprise-architects in digital-transformation and the like must negotiate an ever-expanding maze of perspectives and conflicts across every aspect of the organisation and beyond.
So how do we resolve those conflicts, and identify the common factors across the perspectives that link everyone together? This seminar introduces some practical, proven approaches that can help architects explore any change-context, and lead them to the solutions they need.

1. How to re-think a business from scratch, with
Whole-enterprise architecture
Tom Graves, Tetradian Consulting
Conferenz IT & Enterprise Architecture Forum
Auckland, July 2016
11. The aim of all architectureā¦
Things work better
when they work together,
on purpose.
(Itās about effectiveness.)
12. ā¦and enterprise is
āa bold endeavourā
(Enterprise as āa large commercial organisationā is valid too,
but itās merely one narrow subset of a broader whole.)
20. What are we facing in EA?
ā¢ Cloud and other infrastructure changes
ā¢ Internet of Things, smart-cities and more
ā¢ Mobile, wearables, embedded-devices
ā¢ Technology-disruption, blockchain, materials
ā¢ Business-disruption, customer-centrism
ā¢ Spiralling complexity ā any scope, any scale
21. What do we need from frameworks?
ā¢ Agility, speed, adaptability, simplicity
ā¢ Consistency of methods, models, frames
ā¢ Consistency across any scope, any scale
ā¢ Address all forms of complexity, dynamics etc
ā¢ Address all aspects of context, including human
ā¢ Practice-oriented, results-oriented
23. What do our EA frameworks give us?
ā¢ Most are built for classic big-IT only
ā¢ Cumbersome, inconsistent, needlessly verbose
ā¢ Most oriented to documentation, not practice
ā¢ Most require top-down Waterfall-type style
ā¢ No awareness of people-as-people
ā¢ No methods (TOGAF is almost the only exception)
24. ā¢ Most are built for classic big-IT only

ā¢ No methods (TOGAF is almost the only exception)
a great big
clunky
outdated messā¦
What do our EA frameworks give us?
27. What do our EA toolsets give us?
ā¢ Most are built for those big-IT frameworks
ā¢ Cumbersome, unwieldy, often user-hostile
ā¢ Most oriented to documentation, not practice
ā¢ Most assume top-down Waterfall-type style
ā¢ In most, no awareness of people-as-people
ā¢ Almost no support for methods (except TOGAF, again)

36. Donāt panic! ā itās not as hard as it soundsā¦
BY Nate Steiner via Flickr
37. ā¦itās using what we already know,
going back to first-principles,
and applying architecture
to architecture itself.
38. āWhole enterpriseā
doesnāt need to mean
whole-of-enterprise, every timeā¦
ā¦instead, itās more about doing
every item of architecture
always in context of the whole.
(which means we first need to understand that wholeā¦)
39. Understanding the scopeā¦
āClassicā EA covers only the mid-range of abstraction, and often IT-only;
for most real-world EA, we need more range ā top-down and bottom-up.
40. Linking architecture and designā¦
Architecture
emphasis on
Why and Who
Design
emphasis on
How and What
/ Where / When
43. āThe art of scientific investigationā
Preface to WIB Beveridge, The Art of Scientific Investigation, Norton, 1957
āElaborate apparatus plays an important part in the
science of today, but I wonder if we are not inclined to
forget that the most important instrument in research
is the mind of [the researcher].
https://archive.org/details/artofscientifici00beve
āWe need to pay more attention] to the technicalities
of making the best use of the [mind] ā¦ the practice
and mental skills - the art - of scientific investigation.ā
45. āTwo points of view on architectureā
ā¢ Architecture is an exercise in truth
A proper building is responsible to universal knowledge
and is wholly honest in the expression of its functions
and materials
ā¢ Architecture is an exercise in narrative
Architecture is a vehicle for the telling of stories,
a canvas for relaying societal myths, a stage for the
theatre of everyday life
Chapter 84, in Matthew Frederick, 101 Things I Learned In Architecture School, MIT Press, 2007
- architecture is about structure
- architecture is about story
50. ā¦never as mere projections of the machineā¦
CC-BY justin pickard via Flickr
51. Scope is always āthe everythingāā¦
(every context is within a greater context)
CC-BY Matt Brown via Flickr
ā¦yet we get to choose effective scope-boundaryā¦
54. Architecture is non-functional first
Two bridges:
The function is the
same for both;
the non-functionals
make the difference
CC-BY-ND ernieski via FlickrCC-BY hansfransen via Flickr
55. There is no āThe Solutionāā¦
CC-BY art_es_anna via Flickrā¦every context changes dynamically over timeā¦
56. The Architectās Mantraā¦
I donāt knowā¦
(but I know someone who does, or how to find out)
It dependsā¦
(and I know what it depends on, and why)
Just enough detailā¦
(and I know what the right level of detail would be)
62. What

Why

(Forming)
Who

(Adjourning)
63. Five Elements as strategy-action cycle
(overall cycle and relationships
need to be kept in balance)
64. Use the cycle for any scope, any scale,
any duration, any depth of detail,
nested fractally to any depthā¦
start a new nested iteration anywhereā¦
but always do the whole cycle
(because if not, it will probably failā¦)
70. Why vision and values matterā¦
NOW!
before
certain uncertain
(depends on
personal connection,
personal trust)
(depends on sensing,
feeling, an often-literal
ābeing in touchā)
PLAN
ACTION
edge of
action
situational awareness
(realities ā What)
commanderās intent
(guidance ā Why)
72. Who are the stakeholders?
A stakeholder
is anyone
who can wield
a sharp-pointed stake
in our directionā¦
CC-BY-NC-SA evilpeacock via Flickr
(Hint: there are a lot more of them
than we might at first thinkā¦)
74. The Start Anywhere principle:
everything connects to
everything elseā¦
everything depends on
everything elseā¦
- so we can start anywhere
and arrive at the same place!
91. Donāt skimp on this phase!
ā itās how we establish and prove
that weāve delivered real business-valueā¦
and how we build competence, expertise
and maturity in enterprise-architecture
93. Transformation ā 0: Setup
ā¢ Business question: āHow can
we turn round into
profitability?ā
ā¢ Refined to: āHow do we
enhance operational
effectiveness, to become
more profitable?ā
ā¢ Initial enquiry-iteration

102. We canāt avoid the politicsā¦
POLITICS
NO POLITICS!
Always be careful of the politics ā itās a crucial aspect of EA,
but it can kill business-transformation and more if not done wellā¦
103. A real example:
assess Gartnerās Bimodal-IT

106. Use Holomap to map stakeholdersā¦
(Context-specific version of Holomap instantiated from Holomap metatemplate,
to summarise the overall broader context for the businessā IT-organisation)
108. Assess with Backbone & Edgeā¦

130. How architecture really worksā¦
āWhen we started, I wanted a [predefined]
framework, but this has given me far more, helped
me to think. Itās a lot more exciting, to be honest.ā
āWhat was useful was you set off sparks of thought
that got me connecting the dots.ā
(And when we do it right, architecture can indeed be exciting!)
132. Remember the Architectās Mantraā¦

(and I know what the right level of detail would be)
140. Summary
ā¢ Whole-enterprise architecture aims to create
effectiveness, always in context of the whole
ā¢ Methods and frames are consistent everywhere,
ā consistent at every scope, scale and duration
ā consistent pattern: Why, Who, How, What, Outcomes
ā¢ Address all aspects of context, including human
ā¢ Address all forms of complexity, dynamics etc
ā¢ Always oriented to real-world practice and results

Editor's Notes
At present, most enterprise-architecture ā such as in TOGAF, for example ā will focus mainly on IT
