I’ve now published the next in my ‘Tetradian Enterprise Architecture’ series, SEMPER and SCORE: enhancing enterprise effectiveness. Details on the Tetradian Books website - see here for the book-info, and here for the free-download PDF e-book.

It includes a full description of the Tetradian / SEMPER framework, the SCORE replacement for the classic SWOT strategic assessment technique, and both variants of the SEMPER metric / diagnostic - the simpler SEMPER-5 and the more detailed SEMPER-11.

SEMPER measures ‘ability to do work’ in the broadest sense - probably the key metric for whole-of-enterprise architecture, and for enhancing effectiveness at the whole-of-enterprise level.

I’ve also restructured SEMPER-5 slightly so that it ties in more closely with the whole-of-enterprise architecture framework that I used in Real Enterprise Architecture.

Yup, there’s been a lot of work gone into all of that. Share and enjoy, perhaps?

Haven’t forgotten about the need to keep in touch, just been kinda busy…

Result of ‘busy busy’ is two more books published: more details in the next couple of posts.

I’ll also be adding a new web-domain - SemperMetrics.com - to set up a more open stand-alone version of the SEMPER metric. Again, more details on another post shortly.

And now, back to work…
