Hi. I’m Tom Graves.
(enterprise-architect, business-anarchist, confusionist, nuisance, that kind of stuff…)

“What’s the story?”What do architects do?

Solution architects(connect everything together within a project)
Who are the architects?
design-solutions will be neededwherever there’s some kind of change going on…
- project, programme, portfolio, transformation -
…and wherever a solution is being developed,we’ll need a solution-architect
![Page 8: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Domain architects(connect everything across a discipline or domain)
Who are the architects?
these include: infrastructure-architect,data-architect, applications-architect,business-architect, security-architect,financial-architect, facilities-architect,
brand-architect, organisation-architect,process-architect, skills/training architect,
governance-architect, and many more
![Page 9: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Enterprise architects(connect everything together)
Who are the architects?
that ‘everything’ will include: IT-infrastructure, data, applications, non-IT technologies, business-models, security, financials, facilities, brands, organisation-structures, processes, interactions, skills/training,
governance, quality, environment, health-and-safety…
- every distinct domain, and much, much more
![Page 10: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The EA Mantra(phrases that you’ll often hear architects say…)
“I don’t know…”“(but I know how to find out)”
“It depends…”“(and I know what it depends on)”
“Just enough detail…”“(and I know the level of detail that it needs)”
![Page 11: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“You don’t want your strategies following spaghetti roads- you want them movingthrough your company
on logical, straight highways.”
(well-known large consultancy)
The expectation?
![Page 12: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“The enterprise architecture transition plan is a simple artifact.”
“It consists of a set of:- Gantt charts
- transformative investments- planning time-horizons (in years)
- SDLC phases- descriptive narrative”
(well-known EA consultant)
The expectation?
![Page 13: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The reality…
Yeah, it’s messy… - always…
![Page 14: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Work with the uncertainty…
(Architects must connect across the whole context-space)
![Page 15: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ultimately,
architecture iseveryone’s responsibility
(Architects just help it along a bit…)
![Page 16: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
…it’s Not A Good Idea…
Architecture matters:
“the purpose of the system is [expressed in] what it does”
Without architecture as anchor,what we’d get is a random mix
of POSIWID:
![Page 17: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“What’s the story?”What value doarchitects deliver?
![Page 18: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The aim of all architecture:
things work betterwhen they work together
on purpose
![Page 19: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
…which implies further questions:• Things – what things? and who decides?• Work – what work? in what sense of ‘work’?• Better – ‘better’ for what? or who? in what
sense? who decides?• Together – what kind of ‘together’?
how? why? where?• On purpose – who chooses the purpose?
for what? for whom? and why?
- architecture within architecture…
![Page 20: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
…so, for enterprise-architecture:
what things?short answer: everything!-that’s the whole point!
(and yes, a whole lot broader than just IT alone…)

Skillsets across the whole space…
Distinct modes: Simple, Complicated, Ambiguous, Not-known
![Page 30: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Skillsets across the whole space…
Agent, analyst, alchemist, anarchist, in business context…
![Page 31: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Skillsets across the whole space…
Maintaining balance: business-analyst, business-anarchist
![Page 32: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The value of architecture…is in how well
everything works togetherwith everything else
on purposeacross the whole enterprise
(yet we can often only see this happeningwhen viewed across the whole enterprise…)
![Page 33: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“What’s the story?”How do we attractgood architects?
![Page 34: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The easy way out?- the big-consultancy pitch:
“We will do your architecture for you!”
Don’t do this!Almost invariably, it results in
expensively-useless shelfware…
![Page 35: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Don’t outsourceyour architecture!
![Page 36: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Architecture is everyone’s responsibility- hence it can only be done in-house.
In-house architectsassist in and remind everyone
of that responsibility.
Use external consultantsto help build architecture-maturity
and architecture-skills and competence- not to ‘do the architecture’.
![Page 37: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Next task…
Find, maintain and nurturethose in-house architects.
(which may not be as simple as we might expect…)
![Page 38: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

How do we find our architects?
![Page 39: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Architecture is a mindset more than a job-title…
Good candidates for architecture might be found anywhere in and
beyond the organisation…
…but current recruitment-models can make it very hard to find them…
![Page 40: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Most certification schemes are meaningless for this…
They test ability to repeat rote-learning – almost exactly what we don’t need.
Knowledge of shared-terminology is useful,but trivial to acquire…
![Page 41: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Skill-level of ‘TOGAF Certified’
A five-day course does not an architect make…
![Page 42: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Lazy recruiters use certification schemes as a
tick-the-box filter…
Result: a five-day course gets higher priority than 20 years of experience?
Sheer madness – somehow we must bring these ‘certification-scams’ to a close…
![Page 43: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Key characteristics of architects:
a) could be anywhere, in any job
b) are cross-disciplinary generalists
c) skillset and experience will often combine technical, arts, humanities,
across multiple industries
![Page 44: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Most current recruitment would:
a) fail to see most of them
b) ignore them if they appear
c) actively penalise them
Not exactly helpful for anyone’s needs…
![Page 45: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

And we need those eccentrics…
…they’re the ones who provide the leverage to help things change
![Page 46: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Look for people who:- notice things (are interested in everything)
- are interested in how things fit together- have diverse careers (across many industries)
- connect with people (across broader scope)
- translate between multiple domains- explain and simplify (yet not to simplistic)
- resolve the EA mantra (via action and story)
![Page 47: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The answer’s a story…For each of the EA Mantra elements
- “I don’t know…”- “It depends…”
- “Just enough detail…”
- the ‘wannabe’ will give the stock answer
- the natural-architect will givea personal story ora personal example
![Page 48: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

…why would anyonewant to be an architect
in your enterprise?
Motivations…

Find the right motivation…
![Page 54: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
To motivate skills-work…What research shows will work, for individuals:• Autonomy (decision-making at the point of action)
• Mastery (development of personal skill)
• Purpose (guidelines to assess personal achievement)(Note: in Taylorist models, all of these are explicitly blocked or forbidden)
…and at the collective level:• Fairness (socially-determined)
• Shared-purpose (vision/values etc ‘greater than self’)
![Page 55: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
…architects do have rare skillsetsthat take decades to develop
and provide huge leverage for value
Fair pay does matter…
- so pay enoughto ensure that it’s not a concern
- make it not be a distraction!
![Page 56: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
the work needs meaning,based on
intrinsic motivation, not extrinsic
But it’s really about the work…
- so don’t crush that motivationwith clumsy attempts at ‘control’!
![Page 57: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
- provide the freedom and permissionto explore everything, everywhere
Help the architectsto develop their skills…
- keep the focus on connection,not solely on ‘production’
- learn ‘just enough language’to connect everywhere
across all of the enterprise domains
![Page 58: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
- having the right toolsdoes make a big difference
The tools of the trade…
- but don’t rush off to buy a fancy‘EA toolset’ right at the start!

The real challenge of our toolsets
Our tools are scattered all along the Squiggle…

…but they don’t connect up! – we need to resolve this!

Building connections takes time!
In particular, building the deep social network that’s essential for the
shared-responsibility of architecture will probably take at least 2-3 years…
There’s no short-cut to this that works…
![Page 64: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Maturity-model
The sequence is not rigid, but every out-of-sequence work-item incurs technical-debt and technical-risk.

- glossary and thesaurus(thesaurus to help cross-domain translation)
A shared repository…
- wiki-type collaboration-space(notes on the ‘why’ behind choices and decisions)
- diagrams and models(decision-records, aids to communication)
(That fancy ‘EA toolset’ does start to make sense as the repository grows and becomes more shared across the enterprise.)

Some crucial caveats…For an architect, talking with peopleis essential work, not ‘goofing off’!
Architects do need full authority from the executive,to connect everywhere across the enterprise…
People who are talking with an architect are working, not ‘goofing off’!
Architects are not ‘being insurbordinate’ when they connect across silos!
![Page 71: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
- almost no meaningful direct metricsfor architecture performance
(because it takes place in the ‘between’ spaces’)
Architecture performanceis hard to measure…
- often visible only at whole-of-context level(often only in terms of what doesn’t happen…)
- the better an architect’s work,the less visible it becomes…
(a good test is that other people say, “we did it!”)

The real performance-metric…build perceived-value
to build trust,experienced via how well
everything works togetherwith everything else

“What’s the story?”Wrapping up…
![Page 74: Attracting, retaining and getting the best from your architects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5888ad491a28ab80248b5229/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Architects connect everything together.
The one-page summary…
Architects are generalists, not specialists – the recruitment-process will be different.
For best outcomes, keep the focus on connection, not ‘production’.
Mainstream performance-metrics don’t make sense for architecture – assess as whole.
