Why are processes, not value streams, business architecture building blocks? - Asate Group business consulting. The name change made by Womack and his associates at LEI falsely suggests that every process, or group of related processes, that can be represented using a value stream map is a value stream.
Unfortunately, this is the incorrect understanding many people have of the nature of value streams. They wrongly think that value stream is a synonym of process. Although these concepts are closely related, they are not identical. Indeed, all value streams are processes but most processes are only fragments of value streams.

Whitepaper: A Vision for Agile Enterprise Architecture John M Rogers 15th September 2014 Abstract This whitepaper sets out to find better answers to: What is Enterprise Architecture?
Is it relevant? Holistic view of existing approaches, gaps, and needs via the framing questions: Enterprise Architecture: A vision for architecting the enterprise (Agile Enterprise Architecture) Many (flawed) Definitions of Business Architecture - Inside Architecture. Not long ago, I attempted to create a refined definition of “business architecture.”
I felt compelled to do so because the definition that I found in the Business Architecture Guild’s BizBOK (Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge) defined the word “business architecture” in terms of an artifact (a thing). In my eyes, that "thing" already had a name, and creating a new name for an old thing, while forgetting the practice that creates part of it, seemed like a mistake.

If Architecture is not to be found in the physical object, then what and where is it?
At this point, we claim to distinguish building from architecture, and yet we can find no essential physical difference and no intentional imperative that imposes the distinction. Given two physical entities, one architecture and one not, we operate with competence around them without being able to define them with precision (figure 2). 2.1. The Concept of Disegno Historically, there is precedent for locating Architecture in a non-physical entity. From the reinvention of the classical system in the fifteenth century, partially from increased interest in Vitruvius and partly from an awakened passion for Roman ruins, we can trace our distinct yet parallel traditions of theory and practice. Leon Battista Alberti, in the prologue to De re aedificatoria (c. 1452), made this division between intellectual and material structure clear: 2.2.
About. Communities. Instances. Tools. The Three Horizon Approach to Innovation. Thinking through the management of innovation have you ever considered the Three Horizons approach?
It is likely through this approach business leaders can adopt an evolutionary perspective across the entire innovation business portfolio. If you are using a three horizons type approach to innovation, it becomes clear that you need to continue investing in innovative activities across all three time horizons, even if you’re in the middle of a present day crisis. To do this effectively, you need to have some idea of where you’re heading in the future, and that’s why I think it’s a useful tool for linking innovation to strategy. Horizon One represents the company’s core businesses today. By definition these tend to be fairly mature so management must unlock and realize their remaining potential before maximizing the value of the businesses through their decline. Horizon Two includes the rising stars of the company that will, over time, become new core businesses. Corso, Enterprise Architecture and Strategic Planning Software.

National Information Exchange Model Tools > Welcome. Www.cs.toronto.edu/pub/eric/TEAR06.pdf. Outside-In Business Architecture with VDML. Information technology has enabled new approaches to business architecture.
It has changed relationships with business partners and customers, enabled business operations to be globally distributed, and reduced the time and cost of business operations. However, optimal business design can no longer be achieved by simply automating the existing business design—an inside-out approach. The Enterprise Canvas: Summary and Index.

Interestingly, this is the most EA-inclusive representation of the Zachman Framework over the last 40 years.
The new version is the culmination of 4 decades of experience and took nearly 12 months for Zachman International to prepare the " The Zachman Ontology for Enterprise Architecture". There are several noteworthy changes in the new version which raises the understanding level and discards some of the existing myths and misconceptions. Moreover, this time the framework is aimed at the enterprise community in general and hopefully clears the cloud over the prevailing confusion about Enterprise Architecture vs. Enterprise IT Architecture. While there are visible changes, it’s important to note that both “theory” and the “logic” of the framework remains unchanged. Enterprise architecture Search Results.
Heterarchy. A heterarchy is a system of organization where the elements of the organization are unranked (non-hierarchical) or where they possess the potential to be ranked a number of different ways.[1] Definitions of the term vary among the disciplines: in social and information sciences, heterarchies are networks of elements in which each element shares the same "horizontal" position of power and authority, each playing a theoretically equal role.
But in biological taxonomy, the requisite features of heterarchy involve, for example, a species sharing, with a species in a different family, a common ancestor which it does not share with members of its own family. This is theoretically possible under principles of "horizontal gene transfer. " A heterarchy may be parallel to a hierarchy, subsumed to a hierarchy, or it may contain hierarchies; the two kinds of structure are not mutually exclusive.

These concepts are incidental to the topic under discussion. Ivar Jacobson International. IJI has been engaged with a major UK bank over the last 18 months helping them introduce new methods of working, and IBM’s Collaborative Lifecycle Management tooling to support these methods. Business Analysts now capture their requirements in Rational Requirements Composer (RRC), Solution Architects create their designs in Rational Software Architect (RSA) using the Unified Modelling Language (UML), Infrastructure & Security Architects add deployment topologies to the designs using RSA’s Deployment Planning extension, and everything is underpinned by Work Items and Source Control in Rational Team Concert (RTC).

Autopoiesis. 3D representation of a living cell during the process of mitosis, example of an autopoietic system. The original definition can be found in Autopoiesis and Cognition: the Realization of the Living (1st edition 1973, 2nd 1980): Page 78: - An autopoietic machine is a machine organized (defined as a unity) as a network of processes of production (transformation and destruction) of components which: (i) through their interactions and transformations continuously regenerate and realize the network of processes (relations) that produced them; and (ii) constitute it (the machine) as a concrete unity in space in which they (the components) exist by specifying the topological domain of its realization as such a network. [1] Page 89:- [...] the space defined by an autopoietic system is self-contained and cannot be described by using dimensions that define another space.

The Dark Matter of Business Driven Integrated Enterprise Architecture. In our Enterprise (Business) Architecture Industry, the complexity of Enterprise Architecture continually gets communicated, continually gets press, continually gets evangelized, and with all the well intended communication, it very much feels that Enterprise Architecture is being made out to be much more complicated than it actually needs to be.
What is interesting is that we have realized there is a void that continually gets overlooked, and sometimes inadvertently or purposely ignored. The void is known. Www.albany.edu/faculty/gpr/PAD724/724WebArticles/sys_archetypes.pdf.
