Vision
• How does one design an enterprise architecture
that fosters technological innovation?
– How does one capture and quantitatively/
analytically analyze complex enterprise
interactions?
– How does one architecturally assess
innovation?
– What are the correlations between enterprise
interactions and technological innovation?
Step 1: Capturing Interactions

Project 1 @ P&W
Two similar aircraft engines but one more modular than the other:
1. Capture the enterprise interactions for each engine
2. Architecturally assess innovation associated with each engine
3. Compare and contrast the two findings

Project 2 for NASA
• Designing the enterprise
architecture for NASA’s
Moon, Mars and Beyond
mission
• Ensuring that the value
delivery architecture
interacts with the technical
architecture so as to
maximize stakeholder value
