Kowalkowski, 2015-06-03 Widely held as the most important Business Architecture book to date, the authors illustrate the discipline's transformation from IT Enterprise Architecture to a business imperative necessary for rapid response to change. Business and Dynamic Change The Arrival of Business Architecture This book represents the collaborative work of the industry's top experts, and thought leaders. As explained in the Foreword by best-selling author Keith Swenson, Chair of the Business Architecture Working Group, The chapters in this book are from visionaries who see the need for business leaders to define their organizations to be agile and robust in the face of external changes. Swenson adds,The people making the architecture cannot know the pressures that will be faced. Instead, it must support leaders and executives within the organization to make consistently good decisions on how to adapt their practices. The architecture is not a plan that anticipates all the decisions, instead it embodies a set of core guiding principles that enable decision making. Part One - The Big Picture of Architecture Business Architecture - Information Necessity Business Architecture: Setting the Record Straight Making Sense of the Architecture Jungle Converting Decision to Action Design and Reengineering of Business: An Engineering Approach Building a Foundation for Business Architecture How Business Architecture Enables Agility in a Dynamic Market Part Two - Where the Rubber Meets the Road Linking Architectures for Business Results Database Reverse Engineering for Business Due Diligence Heat-mapped Value Streams as the Translation from Strategy to Action Applying Architecture to Business Transformation and Decision-making: Case Aalto University Business Architecture for Process-Oriented Learning in Public Administration Leveraging Architecture Federation to Increase the Value and Use of Architecture BA Practical Data Governance Understand that the term business used this way is not limited to for-profit enterprises but includes all forms of organizations that have a strategic need to accomplish goals.

As an introductory book, this book aims to explore the concept of enterprise architecture. At rst glance, writing such an introductory book might seem as a straight forward task of setting up a structure and lling in “the blanks. ” However, writing this book turned out to be a pleasant journey of discovery. Based on our past experiences, each of us had a clear understanding of enterprise architecture, based on several years of experience and insight in the eld. However, when we started writing this book, and each of us exposed our individual understandings, it became apparent that our understanding of the eld differed in several ways. This prompted several discussions leading to an abundance of new insights. Without exception, thesediscussionstookplaceina pleasantandopenatmosphere,fueledbyourshared driveforunderstandingandincreasedinsight. Wearenowevenmoreconvincedthan before, that the eld enterprise architecture is a true multi-disciplinary profession. In the resulting book, we would like to share our insights, while also hoping to continue our discussions, now also involving you as a reader.

| business architecture body of knowledge: Information Systems Transformation William M. Ulrich, Philip Newcomb, 2010-02-04 Every major enterprise has a significant installed base of existing software systems that reflect the tangled IT architectures that result from decades of patches and failed replacements. Most of these systems were designed to support business architectures that have changed dramatically. At best, these systems hinder agility and competitiveness and, at worst, can bring critical business functions to a halt.

| business architecture body of knowledge: Building Knowledge in Architecture Richard Foqué, 2010 Foqué establishes a general design theory based on the axioms of pragmatic thinking, a crucial unity between experience and the process of learning, and between conceptual thought and situational consciousness. Building Knowledge develops a theoretical framework and practical instrumentation to establish a knowledge base for the discipline of architecture. Part one of the book presents design methods as a third way of investigating reality apart from scientific methods or the conception of art. By describing thescience-philosophical context, Foqué extensively analyses the nature of design activity and the design process, its inherent characteristics, and the differences between science and art. As such, it is argued that design processes have a research dimension an sich, which are essentially contextual and action driven. Foqué offers an integrated and comprehensive perspective to understand design activity both from an epistemological and practical standpoint. This results in an expanded discourse about the true nature of architectural design processes. Within this theoretical framework, part two explains how case study research is a primordial means to establish a knowledge base for the discipline and profession of architecture. From this premise, Foqué compares case study research in law, medicine and business administration and develops a practical and comprehensive approach to case studies in architecture. The methodology offers a solid and general framework wherein a consistent body of knowledge regarding architectural design processes can be generated. This promotes deeper insight in the complex relationship between context, product and process, which governs every design process on the one hand, and between the several stakeholders involved on the other hand.--Publisher. |

The goal is to build something knowing that it will be changed; so that you have no need to go back to the metaphorical drawing board for every market condition change. In his Foreword, Keith Swenson asks you, Consider what it means to say that the business will adapt in the face of external changes. The business architecture is not simply a model that specifies how to run the business for now and the next few years. The people making the architecture cannot know the pressures that will be faced. Instead, it must support leaders and executives within the organization to make consistently good decisions on how to adapt their practices. The architecture is not a plan that anticipates all the decisions; instead it embodies a set of core guiding principles that enable decision-making. Understand that the term “business” used this way is not limited to for-profit enterprises but includes all forms of organizations that have a strategic need to accomplish goals. Pragmatically speaking, business architecture is the conceptual understanding that people have on why particular choices were made in forming the organization in a particular way. This book will help you understand your options and how to relate them to your own organization. |
| business architecture body of knowledge: Strategy to Reality Whynde Kuehn, 2022-07-05 Strategy to Reality brings together a vast number of perspectives and experiences, offering business leaders the straight talk necessary to clarify, simplify, and humanize business architecture with Whynde Kuehn’s practical and actionable approach. Whynde Kuehn’s vision can be summed up in one word: big. She loves climbing mountains—physical and metaphorical—and her most successful summit can be found in Business Architecture, an aspect of business development that she has pioneered, explored, and mastered. She is a passionate guide for business architecture leaders and practitioners around the world who are motivated to achieve goals, implement effective strategies, and provide measurable results. Her approach can be implemented by organizations of any size: from an NGO, government organization, or Fortune 500 company, to a non-profit or startup. Within Strategy to Reality, Whynde Kuehn offers a well-informed, holistic view that can transform and reshape the world. She arms Business Architecture Practitioners and Strategy Execution Leaders with the in-house training and tools they need to close the gap between strategy and successful execution. Whynde believes that every organization needs to build their own capacity for continuous change, and it is her goal that they reach their goals, while gaining the “vision” they need to see the clearest course of action and to weave it all together. It is Whynde Kuehn’s goal to help the leaders of today and tomorrow build better organizations and unlock new ways of executing strategies, increasing collaboration, and creating value, growth, and profits. Those who seek to be a catalyst for change in their company, who relentlessly seek ways to do things better, and who always ask, “Why?” and “What if?” will find the strategies they need to enact that change in Strategy to Reality. |
