“You need the willingness to fail all the time,” he said. “You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don’t work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work.”

"The emotional and political angles of trying to do this far outweigh the technical impact of trying to do it...Pitching 1,000 to 4,000 boxes together is not difficult...But trying to get a group of 25 applications to stop server hogging is demanding."

SOA Consortium: SOA Executive Summits, Top 5 Insights Webinar
[Updated Friday, March 23, 2007 for links to slides and replay.]
During the last week of February, I facilitated a series of SOA Executive Summits for the SOA Consortium. The purpose of the Summits was two-fold. First, was to validate the mission, vision, goals, strategies of the SOA Consortium. Second, to have a roundtable discussion on the real-world challenges, issues and opportunities discovered by leading SOA adopters. The attendees were CIOs and CTOs of organizations you would easily recognize.
As I mentioned last week, I've been under a gag order in respect to the Summit results. However, that ends Tuesday at 2:00 EDT. Richard Soley, Executive Director of the SOA Consortium, and I will be presenting the "Top 5 Insights" from the Summits in a webinar. Having identified the "top 5", I can tell you they aren't the same topics you hear in everyday SOA conversations.
So, if you have a chance, check out the webinar tomorrow. We'll be live, which means anything could happen. Just direct the hard questions at Richard. After the webinar, I'll add. Link to the slides and replay.
[Disclosure: SOA Consortium is a client of Elemental Links]

SOA Consortium: Enterprise Architecture Survey
Lately, I've been doing a fair amount of work for the newly formed SOA Consortium. The SOA Consortium is a service-oriented architecture (SOA) advocacy group comprised of end users, service providers, and technology vendors, committed to helping Global 1000 enterprises, major government agencies, non-governmental organizations and mid-market businesses successfully adopt SOA by 2010.
While I'm still under a gag order for the SOA Executive Summits I facilitated at the end of February, I can share some activity from one of the practitioner working groups. The Enterprise Architecture of the Future Working Group (Enterprise Architecture 2010) has developed a survey on the current state of enterprise architecture organizations, architects and practices. The purpose is to gather information as a baseline for the evolution of enterprise architecture organizations, architects, and practices, in today's business-driven, service-oriented world.
Since we all know that the practice of enterprise architecture ranges from ivory tower dictates to architecture portfolio delivery, the group thought a survey would be a good place to start. The survey is being taken by consortium members, and through this blog posting, offered to the enterprise architecture public.
Assuming the sample size is relevant, we will share the results back out to the public. I'll post on the results when they are available.
If you have 10-15 minutes, please take the survey. A group of practitioners with enterprise architect titles developed it. For more information on the SOA Consortium, check out the website, related press and posts, or shoot me an email: brenda at soa-consortium dot org.
