Key Skills to EA's Kingdom

by Ken Orr

Enterprise architecture is a strange, somewhat amorphous domain. Like all new fields, it is made up largely of people who set out in life to do something else. I understand what this is like. I started life as a mathematician and then a philosopher and accidentally wandered into computing and somehow never emerged. In fields like computing in the early days and EA now, people have to take a fuzzy domain and make something out of it.
