A Practical Approach to EA Planning and Development: the EA Management Grid
2004
Enterprise Architecture is gaining interest as a managerial tool for managing corporate ICT assets and their interplay. Our prior studies indicate that an ICT provider’s viewpoint on EA consulting, planning and development seems to be lacking in the proposed methodologies. Considering both literature and practical EA cases, we suggest an approach that supports restricted assignments in EA management. We present an EA Grid for the management of EA descriptions, requirements, constraints, as well as project tasks and deliverables, task preliminaries and dependencies in EA consulting and development. peerReviewed

1999
Liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnin professionaalistumista on Suomessa tutkittu vuosikymmenen puolivälissä. Tutkimuksen mukaan ala on nuori ja vain osittain järjestäytynyt. Konsulttien koulutustaso on kirjava, vaihtuvuus on suuri eikä alalle ole muodostunut markkinasuojaa. Monet ulkoiset muutostekijät luovat kuitenkin tarvetta professionaalistumisprosessin etenemiselle. Professio kuvaa joukkoa ihmisiä, joilla on samanlainen koulutuksellinen tausta, siihen liittyvä tiedeperusta ja näihin liittyvä yhteiskunnan hyväksyntä ammatillisine ja eettisine normistoineen. Artikkelissa käsitellään profession muodostumista liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnissa. Kirjoittaja näkee toimialan arvoketjuna. Sen muodostavat …
Digital Documenting Practices : Collaborative Writing in Workplace Training
2022
The present article examines collaborative writing in organizational consulting and training, where writing takes place as part of a group discussion assignment and is carried out by using digital writing technologies. In the training, the groups use digital tablets as their writing device in order to document their answers in the shared digital platform. Using multimodal conversation analysis as a method, the article illustrates the way writing is interactionally accomplished in this setting where digital writing intertwines with face-to-face interaction as the groups jointly formulate a documentable written entry for specific institutional purposes. The results show how writing is manage…
Evaluation of Enterprise IT Architecture Solutions – How can an ICT consultant tell what is best for you?
2003
ICT has become a key business enabler and a competitive factor for enterprises. Enterprise architecture, developed by ICT consultants and ICT end-user organizations, is emerging as the management tool for intertwined business and IT planning. For managerial decisions, there is a need to evaluate the business value of architecture development results, but only a few models for this have so far been presented. Here we present the V-model for EA testing and validation that marks the evaluation points in EA management, and guides which evaluation tools could be used. peerReviewed
