At the topmost
level there is (optimally) only one Mission or one Strategic Plan. This
level manages a portfolio of transformative investments, shown at the next
level down, as one portfolio. This is the level which addresses
enterprise level architecture. ...Could you say this level is IT centric? Only
if you are doing it wrong. You could say it is mission centric, or strategy
centric or investment centric- but Information technology has no place here."
(Matthew Kern -LinkedIn) “
This debate recurs again and again as the underlying
misunderstanding are never cured. Ego-centric IT Organizations who are obsessed
with their own importance. They often consider IT architecture as Enterprise Architecture.
If EA is the focal point of a strategy capability, IT is one of the responders
to the strategy and the architecture.
EA is outcome centric designing people, process and technology
to deliver stakeholder desired value.
