What is 'the enterprise'?

Sounds a simple-enough question, no doubt, but seems to me that most nominal ‘enterprise architects’ have never even bothered to ask it. The usual answer would seem to be ‘the organization’, or worse, ‘the IT department’…

I’ve posted up on Slideshare a new slidedeck, “What is an enterprise?”, which aims to demonstrate a more realistic answer to the question. Nice and brief – only 10 slides.

Share and enjoy, perhaps?
