Sensemaking in enterprise architecture
Sensemaking in enterprise architecture
Methods and disciplines for sensemaking
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog provides checklists, models and schemas to guide sensemaking practice for enterprise architecture and a wide range of other related disciplines.
The book includes about 35 posts and 90 images from the weblog, and is split into three sections:
- Sensemaking: Making Sense - maps out a range of methods and options for sensemaking in enterprise architecture and beyond.
- Sensemaking: Metaframeworks - presents guidelines and worked-examples on metaframeworks (frameworks used to create sensemaking-frameworks) for enterprise architecture and more.
- Sensemaking: Seven Sins - introduces a set of seven common patterns of sensemaking-failure, and their implications in real-world practice.
