What makes it so hard for the Enterprise Architects to Work with the Solutions Architects & Vice Versa ?

 

What makes it so hard for the Enterprise Architects to work with Solutions Architects & Vice Versa ?....the different lenses they use to examine problems and their approach to the value creation.

 

Last but not least....the subtle difference between the "Problem Solver" vs. " Problem Owner" .... which sadly only a very few gets anyway.

 

The fun part is :

 

1. Most people even don't understand EA's job
2. For many EA simply means - That TOGAF guy without necessarily understanding TOGAF is simply stupid at its core & approach to the whole EA thing as discipline. The very root of the problem of this question "What an EA Does ?"
3. In an IT Org. in general people in 99.99% cases would confuse EA with " An IT Architect "

The Mother of All Network Architecture Frameworks - MONAF

 

In case You have been into the IP Networking Industry for long enough, You would have probably come across:

1. The Holy "OSI Model"
2. ISO Model
3. TCP/IP Model
4. RINA Model by John Day
5. Hour Glass Model by Micah Beck
6. SOS Model
7. OODA Loop for Security

While all of these models are helpful in some form and shape, They often help us answer some of the very few questions we generally have as Network Architects, Designers & Engineers but often lacks:

- A bird eye view of Network Architecture as a whole

- A layered approach to go deeper into details & nuts and bolts while still allowing abstractions to work to meet requirements of different audience

- Fill the gap between understanding of Network among - Business, Architects, Designers, Engineers

- Address both functional & Non-Functional requirements

- Work as a guiding compass to address - "Known Knowns", "Known Unknowns", "Unknown Unknowns"

- Stitching together all of the information in a more tangible & informed way

- Last but not least, helps understand your specific constraints beside looking at everything across its life cycle

If you have been there and often relying on your head to hold so much of information but yet unable to put it into a structural frame, You might just want to give this a try.

In the subsequent posts we will uncover different layers and that too 5 layers down in terms of details (From 10,000 feet to 100 feet journey)

What Really Is Business ? - Few Short Perspectives

 

What really is "Business"

+++++++++++++++++

 

"Business is the activity you engage in to monetize your specific knowledge. It is not something to be studied and pursued in and of itself."

 

"If you create it for yourself, it’s art. If you create it for others, it’s business."

 

"Business is the vessel to translate embodied wisdom into actualized value for humanity. It is the very medicine to bring your unique perspective and sense of belonging in the world into harmony with what the world is ready to receive."

 

"Is best way to foster growth is through working specific projects Not analysis paralysis where you fail to start through trying to thoroughly understand every aspect of business before even starting"

 

"The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity."
