This is THE best explanation of enterprise v. solution architecture I've ever seen. Period.

[TampaCEO]

"Solutions architecture without enterprise architecture creates silos by focusing only on business requirements.” - Absolutely one of the most brilliant statements I've ever heard. You summed it up perfectly. Unfortunately I've experienced numerous companies whose focus was always on the solutions and never the enterprise.

This happens in construction in poorer countries. There is no "central planning" or "zoning laws". Instead, each person focuses in the IMMEDIATE GOAL of building their their personal home or dwelling.

This results in cities without proper roads, running water or sewer, electricity, zoning laws, etc. Just look at any of the Favelas in Brazil as an example of poor enterprise planning.

This perfectly describes many companies and their IT Infrastructures.

I borrowed your framework to explain this difference to some of our trainees. The only change I made, was the order. I prefer to always start with the business perspective. And I put Invisible in quotes, because you could argue that in a digital transformation paradigm this is no longer the case. As Gartner said - already many years ago - "There is no business and IT; IT is the business"... Thanks for sharing!

Watching this as someone who does EA and SA work. This is a very good video.

This is excellent Jesper. You've broken it down into real, practical deliverables rather than the usual wishy-washy mumbo-jumbo I often get from Architects.

[bladerunner]

As always, your explanations are easy to grasp in a subject that can be difficult to understand.

An excellent talk. Actually, because this talk is so well thought through it achieves an outstanding level of clarity. It's really quite phenomenal. I don't think I've seen anybody sum up the relationships between Solution and Enterprise Architecture (and their various components) with anything like this level of brevity. First rate.

[hamiasmai]

Thanks for this. I need to prepare for for my next role which I feel it is related to this. I might need a coach.

[demigim]
