Presentation in the Architecture and Infrastructure Committee
I presented my preliminary research results in the US Architecture and Infrastructure Committee today. Dick Burk from OMB had invited me to talk about my observations studying the enterprise architecture programs in 12 public agencies here in Washington DC. You can find my presentation here.
One interesting observation is how the pendulum is swinging back and forth between top-down control to bottom-up initiatives in different countries working with eGovernment. OECD recently recommended that Denmark should make certain aspects of e-government mandatory (including our EA program!), while Dick Burk is now taking on a more collaborative approach in the US. I think we must realise that there is no silver bullet solution, and that context is an active player in the way eGovernment initiatives are being diffused and adopted in different countries at different times. Please feel free to post comments or drop me a mail.

I hope this collaborative discussion continues between our two governments. There is much to be learned from each initiative. True innovation will never come from a blinders-eye view, but from collaboration. Kristian, congratulations on your work and to the AIC for reaching out for an outside point of view.
