ABSTRACT

When we interview candidates for our enterprise architecture searches, one area we spend quite a bit of time exploring is their ability to balance theoretical architectural models and tools with delivery needs of projects on the ground. “If your architecture organization spends too much time creating esoteric or very conceptual single models of the world, it is easy for them to become disconnected from the people who are actually trying to build and implement solutions,” says Union Pacific’s Lynden Tennison.
