One of the big trends driving Motorola's business is the shift to enterprise mobility.

Just came back from an all-day offsite with the EA team in Microsoft IT. It occurs to me, in speaking with my collegues and in side conversations, that we have a good idea of what Enterprise Architecture is, and how it benefits the company, but many of our stakeholders do not. That's not to say that we are perfect, or that other people should just "guess" our value. The Value of EA needs to be carefully tailored to fit the actual needs of the organization and we have to do a good job of making that value visible and sharing it with others. On the other hand, I know that some good folks in both business and the rest of IT have different impressions of what "enterprise architecture" is and what it does for an enterprise. Some may feel that the value of architecture is to design the solutions that the company needs to consume (build the solutions right!). The real value, in my mind, is to help make sure that the money spent on IT is building agility and not complexity (build the right solutions).
