ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE THE NEW LANGUAGE OF MANAGEMENT
Enterprise Architecture is rapidly becoming to management thinking what mathematics is to the engineering of physical systems. The primary purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to make the invisible visible. Management Consultants that are not already versed in Enterprise Architecture appear to be scrambling to learn its principles.
Sloppy naming
If you've got more than one product or service, you have a problem. You need to decide if there's going to be an architecture to the way you name things. General Motors has a division, Chevrolet. Chevrolet makes cars, and each car has a name (Corvette, Impala). They have an architecture in place that makes some things clear very quickly.
What Guerrillas Know About USPs
A USP is a unique selling proposition, first popularized in 1961 by advertising legend Rosser Reeves in his book, "Reality In Advertising." Your USP is your proprietary competitive edge stated in clear, concise terms. Every business must have one to succeed. But most businesses don't. Not surprisingly, most businesses fail. Your USP needs three traits to be effective:
How does the complexity theory apply to business? (A Brief Dialogue)
Member Question: Has anyone applied complexity theory to business in a practical way? Asheville, U.S. My Response: The chaos theory and butterfly effect are interesting concepts in terms of the “complexity” of business. Over a number of years and through funding from the Government of Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program I developed a theory called strand commonality. In the area of supply chain practice for example (although the term “chain” is a misnomer in that it implies a sequential architecture instead of the synchronized architecture that represents the dynamic characteristics of different stakeholders within the real-world), one seeks to understand the unique operating attributes of individual stakeholders using an agent-based model.

The Importance Of Software OWNERSHIP
When discussing free vs. proprietary software or open vs. closed source there is a third option that is often not mentioned but which may be the only way ahead for our business in the long term. Instead of depending on a community of open source developers or proprietary software companies to provide our mission-critical information systems we may have to develop and maintain our own software if our business is to have the information system it really needs.
Two-Sided Answers
The room was lovely, the bed inviting, the architecture interesting, and the philosophy appealing. That was my impression as we checked into a newly minted green-hotel in a resort town where we were eager to spend time relaxing.
Mobile Communications Services
The world of mobile communications is not a trend, but a phenomenon. The mobile communication industry is one of the most flourishing sectors within the ICT industry.On the supply side, firms compete by offering different kinds of services typically through proprietary networks, in which they invest in terms of capacity and coverage.

Where Do We Get Our Deals?
Where do we get our deals? Actually, we find them in a variety of places. Several of which are proprietary and I only share them with my students who are my joint venture partners. Consider the fact that anytime a property comes available on the MLS, everyone knows about it within minutes. If it is really a good real estate investing opportunity, it is often snatched up by the agent entering the listing into the computer….or one of their friends.
Confidentiality Agreements... Ticking Time Bombs?
How many times have you signed a new contract which included "confidentiality" or "non-disclosure" provisions and simply assumed that it was not a big deal? After all, you're a business owner with honor and integrity; you have no intention of disclosing your client's confidential and proprietary information, right? So, why worry about it? Simply sign the thing and move on to the work. Well, not so fast. Let's delve into the small print a bit and see what you just agreed to...
