Governance of All Kinds

It has been a while since I decided to break the prolonged silence and restart writing when I do find time. Perhaps the prolonged silence means someone is either busy (or lazy :-) depending on how the day goes by.

A lot has been written already about many of the topics listed by me nearly two years ago. There is plenty of advice available on the web on different computing paradigms. Despite the prolific advice, many in the business world still wrestle with the fundamental issues.


1. Value: How does the particular computing paradigm help?
2. Use: How can one incorporate or adopt the computing paradigm?
3. Practice: How can one maturize and sustain the paradigm for a longer period?

Consider, for example, the topic of "governance" within an enterprise these days. Here are some good prefix terms for this word - enterprise, corporate, business, enterprise architecture, IT, information architecture, SOA, services, data, security, project, and web2.0.


Do we really need these many? Do we require to read a 2-inch thick binder to understand these? May be or may be not. Is there a way to connect these dots that makes coherent sense? Something that makes you say "Hmmm!"
