A key component of Enterprise Architecture is communication. In fact I’d go further - EA needs communication, communication and yet more communication to be successful.
So we need to think about how adopting social computing could help how we go about architecting the enterprise.
Stephen Collins has a great presentation on SlideShare that demonstrates the power of social computing in a collaborative world - Liberate your control freaks.
Enterprise Architecture is not about control, although much of what we do appears to be controlling or patrolling the enterprise. EA is really much more about liberation - providing the freedom that comes from creating an enabling workspace.
