Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson, Enterprise Architecture as Strategy, Harvard Business School Press

2006

Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson at MIT's Center for Information Systems Research published Enterprise Architecture as Strategy in 2006. Its core move is a two-by-two of business process standardization against integration, giving four operating models, and the claim that the funding model for shared platforms decides how business units behave.

The canvas uses the funding argument on the funding page. A fuller entry is planned; this one is deliberately short.
