Enterprise Business Architecture
Information
The purpose of this group is to share lessons learned on the process associated with creating a business architecture.
The goal is to extend the Business Model Generation Canvas to fit the needs of the Enterprise Business Architect.
Over the lifetime of my career I have been working on collecting a body of work (lessons learned) and have committed the due diligence necessary to refine and capture the method, and several custom designed templates within a guide book which will be aligned with the Business Model Generation Canvas.
The methods and templates have been successfully implemented with several very large ($32 billion + revenue per year) clients and they are very satisfied with the results.
I am looking forward to collaborating with others to share knowledge, experience, and insight.
Cheers!

Howdy Simon & Welcome to the Team !!!
I will make an effort this year to draft one brain teaser per week - however - just like a rock band - (pardon the reference but I play guitar) - the band is able to create a bigger and better sound with each team member who joins - we all have our talents and natural gifts. That being said - consider this an open forum for thoughts, questions, ideas etc. Enterprise Architecture will be much easier for folks to digest - thanks to Business Model Canvas ! Please send me your email and I can send you some early chapters pre-release.
Best-
George

Just joined the community.
Nice to see somebody else thinking BMG into an EA methodology. I am an EA in a large global company in the business of Fast Moving Consumer Goods. @George, please let me know I can help reviewing the book.
What is the status of the work?

Charlie - Apologies I neglected to answer your question "what is EA"
There are several definitions on the web - and in practice I think you will find that the definition changes with each client that you visit.
Following is a definition from Gartner - hope this helps:
Enterprise Architecture (EA)
Enterprise architecture (EA) is the process of translating business vision and strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and improving the key requirements, principles and models that describe the enterprise’s future state and enable its evolution. The scope of the EA includes the people, processes, information and technology of the enterprise, and their relationships to one another and to the external environment. Enterprise architects compose holistic solutions that address the business challenges of the enterprise and support the governance needed to implement them. Enterprise architects use the EA process to discover the target state that the organization wishes to invest in and then helps the organization understand its progress toward the desired state.

I do know that the business architects in a large international financial services organisation have used the BMC as part of their practice.

Through out Business Architecture - A Practical Guide we do present the idea of BMC and capabilities at the top of your business architecture.

Howdy Charlie - thank you VERY much for joining!
Firstly - I am not an employee of Business Model Canvas - that being said - in regards to leverageing business model canvas as a "business model tool" the web site states that research was completed working "directly with Intel, GE, Ericsson, 3M, P&G, and dozens more" - "sold 350,000+ copies in 26 languages since 2010".
In regards to leverageing business model canvas as a "enterprise architecture model tool" - I am not aware of any however - I think folks would agree that it makes sense for the EA to "trace back to the business model/ capabilities".
I am in the processs of writing a book which describes an approach for enterprises to leverage the framework as a baseline for their EA. The approach is called VELLM - short for Vellum. My hope is that the questions and feedback from this team will help me to write a better book :-)
