The Architecture Crystal Ball: Predictions for 2012

CoherencyArchitect

I have had the opportunity to read several documents containing estimations on what the chief architects and CIOs should expect of the concept of Enterprise Architecture in 2012. As a result I have made some thoughts of my own, and my thoughts have been delimited to what could happen in Scandinavia. There are reasons for when or where the organization should develop. Most of the articles that I have read in order to identify the potential development of Enterprise Architecture in 2012 were developed by American organizations and my assumption is that American organizations usually apply an American approach to … Continue reading The Architecture Crystal Ball: Predictions for 2012

The IGIA-Framework

CoherencyArchitect

During the summer of 2010 I worked with a literature review that basically dealt with how Enterprise Architecture (through Coherency Management) could be addressing the issue of rewiring the form of leadership which exists in the enterprise. The IGIA-Framework is a form of synthesis of various theories within the field of corporate governance, IT strategy, IT governance, Workforce planning, Enterprise Architecture and Coherency Management. The edition of the framework that is released with this blog post is advocating a big bang change approach which demands a lot of resources and a long term commitment. This will be altered with the … Continue reading The IGIA-Framework

Enterprise Architecture is more than IT

CoherencyArchitect

This blog post is based on the guest lecture that Chris Potts performed at the course B30 Enterprise Strategy, Business and Technology at the IT University of Copenhagen the 25th of October 2010. It is growing sense around the world that Enterprise Architecture is dealing with more than IT; however since the concept’s origin from the world of IT has often been portrayed as an IT concept, and implemented as a rather IT centric tool. Chris Potts asked the class at the lecture: “Can you recognize this architecture (this building – showing a picture of the insides of the Sydney … Continue reading Enterprise Architecture is more than IT

Likewise will the enterprise face the challenge of adoption. The adoption of the concept or technology. The first outwards part (identification of potential technology or concepts) has to be diffused by networks that the enterprise linked to.

IT Strategy Paradigms: Ways to understand and develop IT strategies in a Coherency Management Context.

CoherencyArchitect

What is an IT strategy I have been able to identify two major approaches to articulate IT strategies. The first major approach is the typical MIT Sloan School of Management approach that support the issues of a some how detached IT strategy from the corporate strategy. The strategy is build upon the assumption that IT is complex, and needed to compete with other organizations on particular issues. IT is a vital component and can’t be ignored in the ever changing competitive environment that most enterprises are in. The notable theoreticians within the paradigm of the MIT Sloan School of Management … Continue reading IT Strategy Paradigms: Ways to understand and develop IT strategies in a Coherency Management Context.

The ATOM Framework: An Idea to Develop an Enterprise Architecture Framework!

CoherencyArchitect

The Background I wondered on how an Enterprise Architecture framework could be developed in a way so it was practical and academic. Therefore I started on developing the ATOM-framework. I want to clarify that ATOM stands for Architectural, Technological, Organization and Managerial and as such the framework addresses all four aspects. The Foundation of the Framework The framework is based on that the enterprise (regardless if it is within the sphere of the public sector or the private sector) has to have a vision and a mission for why the enterprise is existing and what it should accomplish. The vision … Continue reading The ATOM Framework: An Idea to Develop an Enterprise Architecture Framework!
