Management

Creating Value by Informed Governance

---

This book has been created in an effort to develop a textbook for one of the key courses of a Master of Enterprise Architecture program. It is a first in a series of books needed to further underpin this Master’s program with textbooks combining a sound theoretical base with practical insights, and has been authored in a close collaboration between industry and academia. In authoring this book, we have been driven primarily by the need for textbooks for the further professionalization of en- terprise architects as well as education of students aspiring to become enterprise architects. As such, the books needed for the Master of Enterprise Architecture pro- gram, will be targeted both at university students, as well as practitioners with a keen interest in gaining a thorough understanding of these fields.
In this book, we explore the concept of enterprise architecture. An enterprise is understood as comprising of at least business, human, and technological aspects. To be more precise, we define enterprise as a goal oriented cooperative to be imple- mented by people and means. In creating, evolving, and/or transforming enterprises, several challenges come to the fore on how to govern such changes. Enterprise ar- chitecture is an emerging means of governing these changes. The key drivers for this means therefore are the enabling of informed decision making on these changes, as well as ensuring compliance to these decisions.
This book aims to provide an overview of enterprise architecture including the process of creating, applying, and maintaining it, while taking a fundamental view on the field of enterprise architecture. In doing this, we aspire to create an under- standing of the mechanisms underlying enterprise architecture, as well of its role as a governance and decision making instrument bridging the gap between an enter- prise’s vision, strategy, and change projects.
