For decades, the discipline of Enterprise Architecture has been practiced primarily within the Information Technology organization, under the direction of and staffed by IT professionals. While it has had positive impact, it has mainly been focused on “IT” Architecture. That isn’t enough. Changing competitive landscapes, large-scale transformations, and new business models are accelerating change in every element of the enterprise, not just IT. Even organizations operating “as usual” find change to be ever-present. Change requires that leadership understand the broad impact of that change on the enterprise’s moving parts, something that only true “enterprise” architecture provides. Business-owned and business–driven Enterprise Business Architecture is the missing element needed to turn “IT” architecture into “Enterprise” architecture. It can identify areas where IT can be a substantial differentiator, for example as part of the service concept behind a particular brand, or as a sales channel for a new market. Innovative enterprises are realizing that change starts in the Business. Enterprise Architecture OUTSIDE the IT organization is no longer just hype, it is becoming reality.
