The Ideas of Value

14 11 2010

Enterprise Architecture which is core component of Coherency Management. In most enterprises the concept of Enterprise Architecture is in the early beginning, and that leads to the problems of dealing with Coherency Management.

However before executive will invest their time, effort and prestige into the project they would like to know what sort of value the Enterprise Architecture program contributes to the the enterprise. Likewise will there be different views on how to measure value of the Enterprise Architecture program.

There are four fundamental paradigms that can be used within the social sciences, and these have been dealt with by Burrell & Morgan back in 1979.

There are different philosophers who work with the concept of value in different ways through their views on ethics, and therefore will I make use of their views to identify how these paradigms can be used to measure value.

I am currently writing a paper where I exam the value of the enterprise architecture through the four paradigms that Burrell and Morgan presented in their paper from 1979. In the paper I will propose how to measure value (e.g., KPIs) through each of the paradigms.

When I have finished the paper then I will publish it on my blog CoherencyArchitect.com .
