EA has three distinct phases

Development of the

Enterprise Architecture for tomorrow starts from development of the

Business Mid Range Plan,not the predicted price erosion of

Harddrivesand not from software

bought yesterday

Woodstock was all about

feelings.

For Enterprise architectureI would recommend relying more on

passionatestructured development and analyzis of the

functional business plan.

It would take a

Superhuman Enterprise Architectto extract detailed requirements directly out of

the Mid Range Plan and the Functional Business Plans. The

challenge is best addressed by first looking for reoccuring common themes and then,

from those Identify the fundamental

business requirements of the whole ecosystem.

Formulating solution

philosophiescross process, technology, information and organisation to meet the requirement

themes drawn out of the the business strategy is the epicenter of

Enterprise ArchitectureEA action before that is preparation for business success. EA action after that is

execution towards business success
