Enterprise Architecture Alignment Heuristics:
See whether you can find something useful in this paper.
The alignment between Business Processes (BP) and Information Technologies (IT) is a major issue in most organizations, as it directly impacts on the organization's agility and flexibility to change according to business needs. The concepts upon which alignment is perceived are addressed in what is called today the 'Enterprise Architecture', gathering business and IT together. The focus of this paper is to show how alignment between Business and IT can be stated in terms of the components found in most Enterprise Architectures. (11 printed pages).

As an alternative to this blog, we could individually capture bookmarks we want to share in our own bookmarklet collections by using this tag. Then they can be viewed here...
