The document provides an overview of a Masterclass in Whole Enterprise Architecture, emphasizing the significance of enterprise architecture as a framework that encompasses both technology and people. It highlights the importance of trust, collaboration, and governance in enabling effective enterprise architecture, along with addressing key themes such as value creation and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, it discusses common frameworks and real-world applications, promoting the idea that architecture is not only about technology but about the broader enterprise context.

2. What is enterprise-architecture?
CC-BY Highways Agency via Flickr
Yes, IT is a key part of EA…
the technology around IT…
and uses of IT - mobile…
…social (sort-of)…
…and local, too…

3. Yet what is
enterprise-architecture, really?
…it’s the architecture
of the enterprise.
…so everything here is part of
the enterprise-architecture, too…

4. (because technology is an enabler
that makes the enterprise possible)
“It’s not not about the technology”
(Andrew McAfee)
but technology is only a means;
whereas enterprise is the ends
- don’t mix them up!
Enterprise-architecture addresses
common themes that must pervade
through every part of the enterprise.
