A Career Path for Enterprise Architects

28 11 2010

Recently I’ve obtained a copy of Zoom Factor by Sharon Evans who states in her book that there can be identified certain patterns for highly successful Enterprise Architects. I plan to read the book “Zoom Factor” and then I will probably compare it to some of my own ideas that I have published on my blog CoherencyArchitect.com. I believe that the book “Zoom Factor” is a kind of innovation (also to Coherency Management, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture since it tries to create an overview of how Enterprise Architects can create a career path, and thereby it implicitly identifies what enterprises expects of Enterprise Architects in 2010 (and perhaps 2011), in other words I believe it can be used as a source for trend spotting.





Ideas on Development of Coherency Management

14 11 2010

Coherency Management needs to be developed to stay alive, and for this the blog is dedicated. I have seen different elements that have been influenced by Coherency Management and of course the concept of Coherency Management itself. Gryning among others presented in their master thesis in 2009 their own edition of the CoMOFF framework, and they concluded that Coherency Management and Enterprise Architecture has to be separated otherwise the concept of Coherency Management will become to IT centric. Personally I have written a couple of projects dealing with Coherency Management, and I have reached an understanding of that Enterprise Architecture needs to be a part of the Coherency Management concept as a fundamental part; however the concept needs to be using a slightly different approach to achieve acceptance among the executives. For this the usage of corporate governance needs to be addressed in a manner that enables an effective form of communication among the stakeholders. The point being that innovation is needed to address these issues and the innovation has to deal with the academic approach, the practical approach and on how Coherency Management develops.
