Building a "Business-Driven Architect" Blogroll

One of the great things about blogging, is the abundance of tools, services and widgets available to try out. For the most part, these things are free, and easy to incorporate.

A feature you'll see soon is a my deli.cio.us integration into my business-driven architect feed. I make good use of the deli.cio.us' "do not share" feature - so I won't inundate readers with links.

I'll also be adding sidebar content, such as a bookshelf, and of course, blogrolls. This gets me to my first "call for reader participation".

I want to create/publish a blogroll of practitioners in business-driven architect type positions. Here's a sampling of names and links I've collected so far: Richard Akerman, MarkG, Mike Herrick, Sandy, Sam Lowe, Scott Mark, Doug McClure, James, and JT.

What I'd like from readers are submissions of other practitioner blogs you read or write. Either leave me a comment, or send an email to bda at elementallinks dot com.

Thanks!

Thanks for the mention, Brenda - will be great to see this grow on your blogroll. I'm always looking to connect with other practioners...

Ditto!
IMO all practitioners should catalog themselves and via blogrolls or lenses and start up the discussions.
Good luck with this new venue!

Scott and JT - Another practitioner who I inadvertently left out of my original post is Todd Biske. If you don't read him already, his blog is here.

Great referral Brenda - thanks!

So, what is the first question that we should collectively tackle?

So one question I would love to hear discussion on is how to prepare your IT organization for Service Orientation. I am curious to see how others are approaching this or not approaching it. I do see it as a challenge for your typical corporate IT shops as oppose to software vendors. What do you think? Is this a big issue for your shops? My gut feeling says that IT shops that have a well established EAI practice or maybe have successfully embraced OO design will have the right mixed of governance and discipline to have a run at SOA. Is this something worth discussing/addressing? Is everyone even looking at SOA now that the hype is at fever pitch?
