Enterprise Architecting Dynamic Evolution of Enterprise-Technical System Architectures •  Framework and case studies under development  Transformational Architecture/ Spiral Development Enterprise Architects must understand: •  How large-scale enterprise-technical systems dynamically evolve in response to internal and external action and stimuli. •  How to architect lean enterprises to deliver continuously improving performance in the face of increasing turbulence and uncertainty in the operational ecosystem. Research Challenge • Increasing interdependence creates an explosion of complexity inside the value stream.  • Aggregating stakeholder interests into stable yet flexible and adaptable enterprise-technical systems challenges traditional enterprise and system architecting theory, practice and concepts.  Discover patterns in evolution of the enterprise-technical system Legacy Architecture Transformed Ref:  Dodds, Watts, Sable, PNAS 2003 Applying network theory to characterize enterprise-system architectures Practitioner Needs •  Practical application of network-centric theory to real world challenges. •  Principles and practices leading to effective balance  – Short term performance gains vs. long term viability – Competing and conflicting stakeholder interests •  Better ex-ante enterprise architecting knowledge to enhance probability of success Extending Theory, Connecting to Practice Ref:  Eppinger, 2003 + Candidate Case Studies Research Product Goals •  Empirical support for emerging theories of the enterprise •  Generalizable principles for enterprise architecting and transformation •  Method for assessing evolutionary dynamics of enterprise-technical architectures so that management attention may be better applied •  Ph.D. Thesis   . . . . . . . . . .
