Critical Enterprise Architecture netcast

After receiving lots of mail on business change that business change is to fluffy and full of management talk (in the negative way), I have tried in this podcast to descibe how business change can be described in a purely mathematical model that is build on logic and not on fluffy management hot air. I hope to explain how Enterprise Architects that are more of scientific or mathematical mind can analyse and interact with the business on a pure mathematical basis. Since most listeners are not mathematicans please excuse that I am just mentioning concepts here and will not dive into the formula itself, but at least I would like to reference them here. Additional the game theorie discussed here might also help you in other areas. From time to time I will also dive down in more scientific topics to compensate for all the other themes. The next episode on that theme that I am working on is an outlock into quantum computting that will hopefully follow in a month. Again any comments are highly welcomed, even the one that arived today that someone told me that he is finished on this netcast. Also again many thanks for all listeners as the Netcast has just doubled again in the last 6 month. Cay

Hi, after having my teeth fixed, I want to disrupt the TOGAF series and first talk about software architecture and how I see it different to the IEEE definition, as I do not share the view of seperation between software architecture as the pure NFR part and functional software work only by the software designer as discribed in the frameworks. I will then also discuss of the interaction between EA and SA.

Hi, on this netcast I am finishing with chapter 8 on TOGAF and as this one is again on Business Architecture it maybe a bit on the negative side. The last few netcasts I have all produced beforehand as I have had an operation for quite a few dental implantants that did not work well with producing a podcast, so I hope after this episode to continue to produce some longer podacsts again. Best regards Cay

In this podcast I will talk about Business Architecture Chapter 8 in TOGAF. Please be warned that I consider this chapter the worst in TOGAF

In this slightly longer period I will finish the Business scenario chapter 26 and the ADM on Architecture Vision

I am now coming up with the standard business architecture in Banking mainly because it is the one pod cast that I had most troubles, as there there so many standards in banking that it is really hard to come with a common picture, so I will only talk about the common parts. as in the following Level 1 and 2 Processes: Product Management Definition of New Offerings Launch of New Offerings Monitoring of New and Existing Offerings Price Optimization Cash and Liquidity Management Current Accounts Cards Payments Operations Corporate Cash Management Savings and Investment Savings Account Fixed-Term Deposit Retirement Plans Financing Loans (Mortgage, Consumer and Instalment Loans) Leasing Trade Finance Execution of IPO's Structured Finance Facilities / Revolving Credits Collateralization Treasury Interest Rate Management Foreign Exchange Management Bank Management Financial Accounting Management Accounting Consolidation Bank Planning Credit Risk Management Market Risk Management Asset Liability Management Operational Risk Management Limit Management Regulatory Reporting Clearing

In this episode I am giving a critical view on the very interesting "16 Enterprise Architecture Strategies Learned the Hard way" by Chris Curran

In this episode I will explain when it makes sense to change a data model, something most EA are trying to avoid at any costs

With the start of the ADM in phase A on the Architecture Vision it gets more interesting. The podcast will cover half of the chapter 7 and some of chapter 26, as chapter 26 is cross referencenced many times in the ADM. Enjoy Cay

In this episode I will continue the long journey through TOGAF discussing chapter Preliminary Phase. As always this will be an interesting area, however I had to rush this one as I did not had to much time to record in the last weeks. Cay

In this episode I will a have a critical lock at chapter 5 of TOGAF: Introduction in ADM Warning: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE DOING A CERTIFICATION ON TOGAF as I do not always agree with them ;-) Cay

Enjoy this provocative episode where I explain why EA and PM are not really in a love relationship Enjoy!! Cay

In this multi-part episode I will lock at the whole TOGAF framework, in this episode I will first lock at the first four chapters. Please mail me at snosser@gmail.com if you want to get my own notes for the episode as they are not in a format I plan to publish openly and I have no time to rewrite them.

As the 13th special I present yhou with the second part how I do business architecture. Cay
