Chris Potts reminds us in his latest post on CIO where the balance lies between the Enterprise and Architecture.
He begins his explanation with a definition of Enterprise which is used in economics – the ‘animal spirits’ of the entrepreneur. This is where he gets his expression “the tiger and the toolbox”. Futher on Chris explains how companies must not be too focused on being too much toolbox as opposed to tiger. What does this mean? Companies too often end up concentrating more on frameworks, models, techniques instead being out there in the corporate jungle influencing and shaping the enterprise.
The real benefit comes when the enterprise drives the architecture and not vice versa.
