About Me
This blog was setup when I started my dissertation research in 2005. Although a large number of commercial EA frameworks and methods exist, we has just started documenting how IT managers find it difficult to translate these “generic” EA approaches to specific situations and use these architectures to guide their decision-making and system integration. The contributions available tend to focus on building extensions to existing frameworks like the Zachman Framework – leading to what could be described as a “method jungle”.
The notes posted on this blog seek to look beyond the ‘official’ proclamations by national governments and individual public agencies. The introduction and adoption of the EA innovation in government is not a straight forward process. EA planning implementation is context dependent and typically comes with as much frustrations and desperation as accomplishments and joy for the practitioners working with this new IT planning methodology. Many of the findings reported here demonstrate that the working with many different stakeholders, both leadership and subject matter experts, to build a holistic view of the organization's strategy, processes, information, and information technology assets using EA is not just a walk in the park in most organizations. The aim of this blog is to help IT mangers better understand this messy EA adoption process in organizations.
