-
At Doriq Associates, we have developed an approach to Enterprise Architecture based on a strong and above all cohesive approach to EA process and methods. We have chosen to adopt a knowledge-centred approach. In practice, this has led us to develop a comphensive model of the knowledge required to perform EA. Each element of this needs to be reflected on the working practices of an EA organisation, implying strong coupling between knowledge and process.
In most organisations, both knowledge and process are supported by EA tools. In our apporach, the pre-defined structure to both knowledge and method short-cuts the tool configuration activity, enabling rapid start-up of productive EA, and a simplified and accelerated learning curve for the people involved.

- ...Knowledge
-
Knowledge is the foundation to any well-managed Enterprise Architecture practice. The key driver towards the use of EA is the need to ensure that resources (such as manpower and money) are being used effectively, in pursuit of enterprise goals.Knowledge of these goals, how they relate to activity and resource use, and how these will change over time must be built up and used to define business and IT strategy.
This knowledge must be well-managed, well-communicated and well-understood (requiring clear structures, well-defined processes and effective tools to underpin EA activities).
At Doriq, we have developed a cohesive approach to managing this knowledge actively, understanding its structure deeply and ensuring that it is captured, maintained and used in the optimal way, to support Enterprise Architecture.
.
- ... Process
-
Successful EA depends on the implementation of a methodology which is well-understood, and reflects the types of knowledge that are required to perform EA. Close-coupling of the Knowledge structure and the Process ensures that all Knowledge that is captured supports the process, and the process in turn ensures that the knowledge is complete, accurate, well-understood and well-communicated.
- ... Tools
-
The tools that are used to support EA must be capable of reflecting the Knowledge and Process completely. Tools which define process and knowledge structures are critical for defining and setting up an EA practice but are not sufficient for operating one.A 'live' EA environment must be supported by a toolset covering the management, control, communication and use of all relevant knowledge and the operation of the process, as defined.
- ... People
-
Everyone involved in, or impacted by the Enterprise Architecture practice must be able to access and use the knowledge relevant to their own perspective.All roles and responsibilities around EA must be defined and reflected on the process. The knowledge required by each role must be accessile and well-maintained, and the individuals involved should be well-trained in the application of that knowledge, the operation of the process and the use of the tools.
