 Our incredible graphical talents have been hard at work, and now we have a new logo! Enterprise Architecture on Demand is our leading theme, whether it is about processes, data, application or technology architecture. Our progressive customers have already discovered the benefits of having us as the competent partner to take over EA ad-interim, or to scale up the EA capacity to break the workload peaks. For these challenging and strategic topics, as we say in German: "Wir bringen Sie zum Punkt!", i.e. we are leading you to the optimal solution as your preferred Enterprise Architecture Partner. That's why the red dot at the end of the logo.

 TOGAF is one of the most popular EA frameworks today and many organizations consider it to be the de facto standard. As of 2016, the Open Group reports that TOGAF is employed by 80% of Global 50 companies and 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Yet research shows that often TOGAF recommendations are found to be inapplicable and difficult to implement.
On February 15th I was invited by LeanIX to present live in a webinar about how to successfully implement TOGAF with LeanIX. Have a look at the slides at Slideshare to find out about TOGAF basics and how to support your Enterprise Architecture with it and LeanIX to create value for your stakeholders. Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. (Steve Jobs)  Are you, or do you want to become...
 The idea to put together an expert group of LeanIX power users came up in the summer of 2016 in various discussions with advanced (multi-year) users of LeanIX. The group met informally for the first time on October 5th in Berlin at Zalando as a warm-up for the LeanIX EA Connect Day. We agreed to get back together again to exchange experiences and best-practises. The idea is to keep the group pretty small, focused on advanced users and sales-free. Each user shall bring a real-life topic out of their own experience with a brief presentation and facilitate the discussion in the peer group. Below you'll find the link to register for the LPUG (LeanIX Power Users' Group) meeting in February 2017, with a survey to catch your ideas and hot topics. Feel free to contact me anytime to exchange ideas how to address your specific interests even better. Link to the LPUG Survey: click here.

The primary stumbling block for EA is the relative lack of objective metrics. This lack of fact-based information makes the architecture easy to argue with or ignore, as different people have different opinions. In the IT Portfolio layer for example, facts about the quality, risk and complexity of an application are not collected at all – or worse – the answers become a “best guess”. This misses an ideal opportunity to assess an additional level of detail when trying to analyze the impact of change.
Having an Enterprise Architecture (EA) is critical to any organization as it provides the necessary linkage from business strategies through execution – with many steps in between. This traceability provides critical details about cause and affect – if I change something in my IT layer, what processes, people and strategies does it affect? And the other way around: from changed business strategies into the impact on IT applications and technology portfolio. Questions like these (and many more) help a business understand the impact of change before it happens.
