We had the topic of today’s episode – transformation – a couple of times on this podcast, even though we did not call the episodes like that. But why? Because transformation in today’s times is not an exception but the reality for all organizations. It is not just “an update by IT”, or something that […]
Some topics seem to be a “stretch too far” for this podcast, and the topic for today’s episode seems to be one of those: Sustainability. But is it? Yes, Sustainability -or the lack of it- is a global problem, that manifests itself in climate change, social restructuring, and many other forms. But it also becomes […]
Enterprise Architects? Aren’t those the useless people who always say “no”? That is one of the perspectives we have heard about EAs in the past.

It is interesting to see how a “fringe idea” like Open Source software became mainstream within just a few years and everyone of us is using the outcome of it in our daily lives (mostly without knowing it – or have you thought what runs your car radio or the datacenter of your preferred search […]
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today’s topic is about creating a formal business case as part of the change process. Creating a business case document can be a challenge for someone who has not done that before, and one might think that this is a single-person activity. Nothing could be further from the […]
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today’s topic is organizational change management, which is the counterpart to the previous episode of “Management of Change” where we spoke with Caspar Jans. This episode covers the “people side” of changes that are planned in your architecture and implementation projects, and we are covering the why, org […]
Even though the discipline of architecture is decades old (and if you look at the discipline of process management, even hundreds of years), there is no consensus of what an architect actually defines. And the practitioners have not been helpful as well in their self-positioning. “Back in the day” a lot of architecture groups held […]
When I was asked to write a guest blog for the guys from What’s Your Baseline (who also are respected colleagues of mine) I did not have to think twice. What I did have to think about is the topic of this blog and I started reading some of the blogs of their website and […]
