Although I perhaps rambled sideways a bit too often, we covered a broad range of themes around the nominal topic of extending enterprise architecture beyond IT, but in a way that still makes sense to IT-audiences. As Tom suggested, I ended with a plea for IT-folks to get more real about business – with enterprise architecture as the architecture of the whole enterprise, not just its IT – and also to get real about the role of people in process – rather than assuming that IT can do everything, which it can’t and won’t.

A lot of fun for me, and I’m glad to say raised a fair few laughs from Tom as well (and in the right places, too! ). Felt good – would like to do it again somewhen soon.

And though I says it meself I’d say it’s “Recommended listening for anyone interested in enterprise architecture” – so again, many thanks to Tom Cagley for this.
