Big-picture: The hard challenges
Big-picture: The hard challenges
Challenging perspectives on politics and society
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog demonstrates how whole-enterprise architecture methods can be used to explore the hard-challenges in politics, economics and society.
This book includes about 35 posts and 80 images from the weblog. These posts are split into three groups:
- Big-Picture: Four Principles - presents a multi-part series on ‘Four principles for a sane society’.
- Big-Picture: Disservices - considers the impacts at a broader-scope level of the dysfunctional counterpart to services, and what to do about them.
- Big-Picture: Society and Gender - applies a lens of gender as a worked-example to assess societal impacts of purported ‘rights’ at a big-picture level.
