New piano album soon!
New piano album soon!
It’s been over a year in production, but I’m very excited that my new solo piano album is due for release shortly! All tracks have been released as singles – starting in February 2019 with Catch The Day, written for my amazing brother. Now the difficult task of sequencing the tracks… and this is where I would love to get your feedback and ideas.
You can listen to all of the tracks so far on a

Here is one way to distinguish enterprise architecture from other disciplines. What do you think? What distinguishes enterprise architecture from other disciplines? One way that I've tried to explain this is to describe 10 core principles that are a fundamental part of EA. In this video I explain - what do you think?

How to avoid a dog's Brexit - an EA approach to massive change
How to avoid a dog’s Brexit – an EA approach to massive change
There can’t be many people that think Brexit has been a great success. But if an Enterprise Architect was involved – what might they do to help??
Spoiler: if you want the quick summary it's (1) recognise the current approach is a mistake; (2) start again by separating concerns; (3) find the best ways to change the current architecture to address each concern; (4) find ways to combine these…

What makes EA artefacts useful? Six criteria to evaluate your artefacts
What makes EA artefacts useful? Six criteria to evaluate your artefacts
We seem to be in a new age of EA literature, with a growing number of books that really get into the detail of how one can architect.
One example is Marc Gewertz and his book Defining Enterprise.
Marc wrote a recent LinkedIn post about the need for architects to make their design explicit through good artefacts.
But what makes a good, useful, practical artefact?
Here are some ideas that can be…

How to become the best version of you
Can you help me create a ripple?
As I approached the later years in my life I started to have doubts about whether I was truly being me… it led me on an amazing quest to rediscover myself, and I ended up relating this story at a TEDx talk [if you don’t know about TED talks – they are amazing – click here to discover].
This talk has just been posted on YouTube, and I’d really like to get this…

How to use generic architectures and leverage reuse using Pareto
How to use generic architectures and leverage reuse using Pareto
There are many EA techniques that improve communication and collaboration between functions and teams – helping everyone to speak the same language. These techniques are vital for integration, standardisation, synergy, and reuse. Many of these are based on the Pareto Principle – find out more in this 9 minute video:
This is just one of the videos in the online Enterprise Architecture Training:

A scarce skill set again? Are you surprised?
A scarce skill set again? Are you surprised?
A 2017 CIO survey by Harvey Nash and KPMG shows that EA is the fastest growing tech skill in demand.
While this is clearly a good thing for all budding architects I am concerned that the emphasis on such studies is still on technical skills… and yet the best architects that I’ve ever met have generally come from a mixed background with less emphasis on the technology and more on understanding and…

Economic Purpose – the intersect between social purpose and good business
For anyone in EA who thinks we need to be doing more than simply making the fat cats fatter… this deck from the Economist Group describing Economic Purpose – where social purpose and good business interact. It found three types of benefit in the overlap between financial business health and commitment to social purpose.
This idea is one of the principles I’ll describe in a forthcoming talk How…

A healthy economy - architect to thrive, not grow
A healthy economy – architect to thrive, not grow
Too often we create architectures to support economic growth… but judged from many perspectives this is unsustainable and unethical. We should be creating architectures that are fair, sustainable, and universally beneficial. Although not directly about enterprise architecture, this fascinating TED talk has many insights that we need to share and take on board for EA:

TOGAF® Standard, Version 9.2 and Essentials 2018 - everything you need to know
TOGAF® Standard, Version 9.2 and Essentials 2018 – everything you need to know
The new version of TOGAF® has probably not made a huge difference to your work as an enterprise architect. The changes are not world-shattering. TOGAF is still far from perfect or complete, but I think that 9.2 is a step in the right direction, and it may pave the way for more frequent and useful future updates.
If you don’t really understand the changes between 9.1 and 9.2, here are some links…

Are you bringing positive change in the world by doing what you love?
Continuing my theme that EA can make a big difference, I thought you might find “Architecture can change the world” an interesting post. This article is about building architecture, but with a little sidestep it could easily apply to EA.
Here are a couple of questions for enterprise architects:
