Enterprise architecture defines a firm’s needs for standardized tasks, job roles, systems, infrastructure, and data in core business processes. Thus, it helps a company to articulate how it will compete in a digital economy and it guides managers’ daily decisions to realize their vision of success. This book clearly explains enterprise architecture’s vital role in enabling—or constraining—the execution of business strategy. The book provides clear frameworks, thoughtful case examples, and a proven-effective structured process for designing and implementing effective enterprise architectures.
chapter 2: introduce the first discipline for creating the foundation for execution: the operating model and its two key dimensions—business process standardization and integration. Four different types of operating models are described: Unification, Coordination, Replication, and Diversification.
Chapter 3: introduce the second discipline for creating the foundation for execution: the enterprise architecture. The key elements—digitized business processes, IT infrastructure, shard data, and customer interfaces—are indentified and linked in the enterprise architecture. The one-page core diagram is introduced, and comparative diagrams are developed for each of the four operating models.
Chapter 4: the four stages of enterprise architecture maturity: business silos, standardized technology, optimized core, and business modularity.
Chapter 5: how companies get unique business benefits at each of the four stage s of maturity by using various management practices and roles. We explain how achieving these benefits require implementing different management mechanisms at each stage to formalize organizational learning.
Chapter 6: The third discipline for creating the foundation for execution: the IT engagement model. The IT engagement model has three ingredients; IT governance, project management, and linkages connecting the two. A good engagement model enables a company to build its foundation one project at a time.
How outsourcing can contribute to enterprise architecture maturity but warn that outsourcing success is far from guaranteed. To improve the likelihood of success, we show how to use the operating model and enterprise architecture to determine what and when to outsource. We distinguish between three different types of outsourcing—strategic partnerships, co-sourcing alliances, and transaction relationships.
Chapter 8: make the urgent case for increased agility in companies that must compete in a global economy.
Chapter 9: summarizes the key ideas in the book with a review of the symptoms of an ineffective foundation for execution. We follow with a set of six steps for rethinking your foundation for execution. Then we provide ten leadership principles for building and leveraging a foundation for execution.

挺好的一本书,把企业的几种类型的特点和对应的企业架构模型讲述的很清晰,同时对于企业架构成熟度的演进进行了描述。这本书的特点是用了大量现有大型企业的例子,所以读起来很直观。另外就是英文上平铺直叙,简单直接,没有过多的俚语或者晦涩的比喻等,对于非英文母语者也是非常友好的。看了之后非常有启发,会再整理一遍里面的模型。强烈推荐!
