" A new landmark paper from the Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO) has found that more than 80 per cent of organizations do not successfully execute their business strategies. In over 70 per cent of these cases, the reason was not the strategy itself, but ineffective execution.
Moreover, poor strategy execution is the most significant management challenge facing public and private organization compounded by escalating complexity and rapid change. The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) addresses these challenges, but confusion reigns.
Beginning in 2007 and over ten months, I keynoted 10 IT Executive Alignment conferences, the Strategic Architecture Forum (SAF) and the government House of Commons IT group summit in Ottawa. The hour-long presentations to senior business and IT executives focused on aligning IT with business including discussing questions about EA. What I noticed from the audience interaction was the lack of conformity in EA contributing to confusion about the field. Other problematic themes were spotlighted:
We are now moving into 2014, and the same confusion and questions are still actively debated in forums, conferences, articles, public discourses on EA definition. Do the issues with healthcare.gov in the US come from insufficient EA ?
