“Alignment, agility and assurance
are not achieved through building
and running systems …
they are engineering derived
characteristics …
Enterprise engineering derived
characteristics.”
John Zachman (in Doucet et al)

”Remember Your Vector Math!”
Alignment = “the ability of the organization to operate as ONE by working
towards a common shared vision supported by a well orchestrated set of
strategies and actions”. (Doucet et al, 2009)
Agility = “the ability of the
organization to respond to and
manage change”. (Doucet et
al, 2009)
Assurance = “the ability of the
organization to establish and
institutionalize (internalize)
practices that ensure fulfillment
of organizational goals and
achievement of outcomes”
�Coherent Rules for Descriptions
�Coherent Descriptions
�Coherent Enterprise
� A common language for the enterprise
� The 'Just Enough Rules' principle
� Rules can be constricting, so every effort
must be made to ensure that each rule is
really needed, not for the sake of coherency,
but because the added coherency must deliver some value to the enterprise.
� Coherent descriptions as enablers
� Aligning Vision, Strategy, and
Design

� Coherent operation and execution. � Alignment is very mature because the rules allow
descriptions to be compared for alignment and adjusted accordingly.
� Agility is achieved because of designs are coherent, which includes a developed understanding and practice of loose coupling by design instead of tight coupling by accident.
� Assurance is gained through an ability to not only have all the information but also, through coherency, have the information provide real knowledge.

�Everything Aligned
�Enabled Agility
�Embedded Assurance
� Enterprise Architecture is the
inherent design and management
approach essential for organizational
coherence leading to alignment,
agility and assurance.

Does the EA Community of Practice believe: � That most of the EA already exists (implicit and
explicitly)?� That unstructured or malformed EA is still EA?� That Implicit Architects write most of the EA and
need to be supported in the creation of their process artefacts?
� That business architecture can be done as part of foundation EA?
� That EA still provides a valuable design and design facilitation service within the context of Coherency Management?
