A week in Tweets: 5-11 September 2010

Yes, it’s another week’s-worth of Tweets and links. Usual categories – with a trio of extra discussions this time – after the usual ‘Read more…’ link.

Enterprise-architecture, business-architecture, business-strategy, business-innovation and such matters:

A discussion on enterprise-architecture and ‘shadow-IT’ that developed out of an HBR article:

chrisdpotts: RT @billpoly: HBR article shows how IT needs to change http://bit.ly/btwaLm |me: time for 3rd Gen #CIO <if we’re not darn careful, this will be the #entarch / #itarch nightmare of 1990s shadow-IT all over again…
chrisdpotts: @tetradian “Shadow IT” is so last year!
chrisdpotts: @thoughttrans It’s true there are IT depts that are separate legal entities, but 100% owned by the business they are part of. // In 3rd Gen corp strategy for IT, “IT” mean the exploitation of IT by business and its customers. Delivery of IT was Gen 2.
thoughttrans: @chrisdpotts @tetradian does biz really trust IT?
chrisdpotts: @thoughttrans Do you mean the Information Technologies or IT people (and if the latter, which ones)?
thoughttrans: @chrisdpotts within an industry yes. I see other industries (banking, oil, retail) using cloud appl and srvs and not having IT depts no need // I see outsourcing not to build appl but to use appls owned by diff companies. // example: why hire security experts…leave that to the company that owns the sales software.
chrisdpotts: @thoughttrans First principle of sourcing: you can’t outsource your accountabilities and core competencies, but you can always try….
tetradian: @thoughttrans: “leave [security] to the company that owns the sales software” – yikes! – NO! – security is *everyone’s* responsibility… // @thoughttrans …you can perhaps outsource some technical aspects of security, but never security itself – that’s *your* security at risk!
thoughttrans: @chrisdpotts @tetradian why #entarch and #bizarch is so important now…think beyond the internal organization
thoughttrans: @chrisdpotts why cant your responsibility be to use a service? why does a realestate company need to develop listing software? // oops meant accountabilities instead of responsibilities. You are accountable to have correct information…where stored/managed
tetradian: @thoughttrans “why does a realestate company need to develop listing software?” – ans: if the company’s #entarch says it needs it… // that’s what #entarch etc is for: help decide whether your need is better fit for SaaS (if it even exists) or for in-house etc // if you only use others’ services in the ways that they specify, your #bizarch is probably left with nothing unique to sell etc
thoughttrans: @tetradian yes, security is everyone’s responsibility … but the company that holds the information will be mechanically responsible // … yes…just saw 2nd note on the technical aspects which is what I was talking about.
thoughttrans: @tetradian #entarch doesn’t say that the company must build it…just use it. (unless your company is the one to develop it)
tetradian: @thoughttrans beware of cloud etc sales-pitch – often omits *huge* #entarch dangers of outsourcing, good for vendor, poss. lethal for orgs
thoughttrans: @tetradian which is why entarch and bizarch is a priority now … now, if orgs would realize this LOL
thoughttrans: @tetradian not necessarily … its not an all or nothing deal … your uniqueness may be in the way you interact with cust not the data of c
thoughttrans: @tetradian Agreed completely. Not condoning all of it. I do see this as a trend for biz’s. my job is to illustrates the risks
tetradian: @thoughttrans use of SaaS, cloud etc may simplify #itarch but requires *more* attention to #entarch #bizarch security etc, not less
thoughttrans: @tetradian absolutely! thats why they need ppl like #entarch #bizarch … its NOT just #itarch at all!
thoughttrans: @tetradian and why #entarch is not #IT focused VBG (thought you would love that tweet)

Another conversation, this time on ‘left-brained’ versus ‘right-brained’ thinking in enterprise-architecture:

joemckendrick: Enterprise architecture needs more art along with the science http://zd.net/9Re8b1 #entarch #bizarch #itarch
tetradian: (via @joemckendrick) Chris Lockhart (@chrisonea): Is Enterprise Architecture Left or Right Brained? http://bit.ly/bUx9tU #entarch
taotwit: @tetradian seems to be quite an EA L/R brain theme developing today! Did you see my comment here? http://zd.net/9Re8b1 #entarch
Cybersal: @tetradian @taotwit Try this L/R brain/ visual/auditory test: http://bit.ly/aOM8aX #entarch
Cybersal: @tetradian @taotwit In that test I come out as visual and left-brained, apparently that’s an unusual combination……
taotwit: Given the L&R-Brain discussion following TEDx #entarch … EA should be focused on business behaviour before te -> http://bit.ly/yuKbQ
kdierc: @Cybersal @tetradian @taotwit 50-50 here and slightly more visual than auditory.. am i in perfect balance? 🙂 #yinyang
taotwit: @Cybersal Well,well – I just came out as A:50% V:50% L:57% and R:42% (Iwhat happened to the lost 1% – maybe that’s loss to beer % )
taotwit: @kdierc me too – is it rigged 😀
tetradian: @taotwit @Cybersal @kdierc L/R-brain is overworked metaphor – key point (and need) in #entarch/design is to bridge and balance between them
taotwit: @tetradian @Cybersal @kdierc yes – the point Roger Martin makes about balancing ‘Validity’ with ‘Reliability’ #entarch
Cybersal: @taotwit I don’t think Martin’s validity/reliability distinction is the same as L/R brain thinking.
taotwit: @Cybersal Interesting, I expressed that connection here http://bit.ly/yuKbQ – I’d like to know why you see differently.
Cybersal: @tetradian Architects need to understand exec’s individual communication/thinking preferences when communicating with them.
Cybersal: @taotwit I’m a counter-example (Y and left-brained). He doesn’t use left/right brain metaphor explicitly in his book. I see yr point tho.
taotwit: @Cybersal Truth is we are neither all one dimension and one dimension doesn’t fit all situations – but practicing opposites helps
Cybersal: @taotwit Completely agree – it’s definitely not about labelling people but being aware of preferences (own and others) and using whole-brain
richardveryard: @tetradian Left/Right metaphor not only overworked but leads to false snobbery. “We right-brainers are so much more, you know, holistic.”
oscarberg: @richardveryard @tetradian anyway, most people are controlled by their lizard brain. It beats both left & right brain any day
mikerollings: @tetradian L/R brain ignores research of multiple intelligences – many different types of thinking and more than one way to learn

And another discussion on cloud and ‘shadow-IT’:

rtolido: 5 companies that thrive in the age of Shadow IT http://bit.ly/9YwTqa thx @jfurneaux
tetradian: cloud + mobile etc creates possibly-risky shadow-IT, much as with take-up of PCs 30-20yrs ago – #entarch is key to reduce risk
erikproper: #entarch EwitA may also be the cause of Shadow-IT. Depends on the EA style and governance style …
tetradian: “depends on the EA style and governance style” – agree – #entarch *as* governance/guidance is key here
erikproper: Well, “architecture governance” is key in realising any EA i think. To avoid shadow-IT one needs a fitting EA and AG.
tetradian: I presume ‘#entarch EwitA’ is classic IT-centric ‘the-world-revolves-around-IT’ version of EA? – if so, yes, agree // in classic IT-centric view, cloud makes EA (ie EWITA) redundant; but to make cloud work, need more/better EA, not less
erikproper: Something like that … but then there is “Frozen” Cloud and “Flex” Cloud. “Frozen” clouds lead to shadow-cloud-use …
tetradian: “Frozen clouds” – hence EA-as-governance again, as education about *personal* responsibility for mgmt of enterprise risk
chrisdpotts: @tetradian What happens when the ‘shadow’ meets the ‘cloud’?
tetradian: @chrisdpotts darkness falls… rain, thunder, lightning, all that sort of thing… or the business-equivalent thereof, anyway 🙂

Society, culture, sustainability and corporate social responsibility:

josvanoosten: RT @ComplexitySol We’re not too many, we’re just too stupid. We have to reorganise ourselves, we have a design problem http://bit.ly/cwkbHZ #society #sustainability
CreatvEmergence: RT @johnt Biological Altruism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) http://bit.ly/dj6uND <“Contrary to what is often thought, an evolutionary approach to human behaviour does not imply that humans are likely to be motivated by self-interest alone. One strategy by which ‘selfish genes’ may increase their future representation is by causing humans to be non-selfish, in the psychological sense” – hooray! – an American source that breaks out of the Darwinist deadlock and puts the lie to that most odious of American ‘philosophers’, the ‘high priestess of selfishness’, Ayn Rand…
