Innovation in The Fast Lane: Enterprise Architecture — The Zachman "Ontology"
Presented by: John A. Zachman
There are three things that Enterprise Architecture contributes to “Innovation in the Fast Lane” (that is, “Enterprise Architecture” as defined by “The Zachman Framework,” and differentiated from other frameworks in the fact that the Zachman Framework is an ontology, not a methodology). The three things include:
- Precluding unintended consequences of change
- Predicting strategy alternative success before investing resources
- Changing the process of Enterprise creation to “Assemble-to-Order”
This presentation will elaborate these three opportunities for “Innovation in the Fast Lane” plus, based on the research of Frederick P. Brooks, show how software development, in and of itself, is unlikely to deliver the anticipated benefits of dramatic increases in software productivity which might lead to “Innovation in the Fast Lane.”
This may be a rather ambitious agenda but, time permitting, addition of:
- A short tutorial on the logic of the “Enterprise Ontology” will be presented for those who have never heard it
- John Zachman’s Laws of Enterprise Physics including the rules for classifying Enterprise knowledge, creating the metamodel as prescribed by the Ontology
- Some suggested research to explore the different paradigm as expressed by the Zachman “Enterprise Ontology” that may invalidate at least some of Fred Brooks’ observations.
Learning Objectives:
- Three uses of Enterprise Architecture for rapid innovation
- Synopsis of Fred Brooks’ “No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering”
- Clarification of Enterprise Ontology logic.
- Enterprise Laws of Physics and Classification Rules
- Suggested research in Enterprise Architecture, Knowledgebase paradigm
