Understanding Both Sides of AI's Use in Enterprise Architecture
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to develop Enterprise Architectures (EA) is attempting to transform the field, but it comes at a cost: a noticeable decline in traditional EA competency and growing skepticism among stakeholders as to the worth of Enterprise Architecture. Contemporary Enterprise Architects expertise is no longer just a nice-to-have - it is a strategic imperative for any organization seeking to thrive in an AI-driven world.

Enterprise Architecture’s Gobbledygook
This is a post from Peter Kinev that I will be embellishing a bit. Somehow, over time, Enterprise Architecture has developed a language of its own. A language that seems more designed to deflect than to inform. I think it is time we change the narrative.

The Power of Architecture: Shaping Progress from the Industrial Revolution to Enterprise Transformation
This historical synergy between engineering and manufacturing int the industrial age offers a powerful analogy for understanding the complementary relationship between EACOE Architecture Models and EACOE Implementation Models for Enterprise Architecture, in the EACOE methodology for Enterprise Architecture (EA). Just as the collaboration between engineers and manufacturers powered the Industrial Revolution, the partnership between EACOE architecture models and EACOE implementation models is crucial for successful enterprise transformation. One without the other is incomplete: architecture without implementation remains theoretical, while implementation without architecture risks inefficiency and misalignment.

Success with AI starts with quality data – any questions?
This somewhat extended broadcast of Real Talk brings forward the fundamental truth facing success use of AI – most organizations data is not at all ready for use in AI (or for that matter, decision making outside of AI). You will hear a bit of sarcasm in my voice, and at the end, yes a commercial on how to actually build a quality data environment. Wishing it were not true, will not make it so.

The Hidden Risks of “Initial Cost First” in Enterprise Architecture Training and Certification
In the quest to optimize budgets, many organizations focus heavily on minimizing upfront costs - especially when it comes to Enterprise Architecture training, and certification decisions. However, prioritizing initial cost savings above all else can be a risky strategy, often leading to long-term inefficiencies, increased risks, and diminished personal, professional and organizational credibility.
