Six Sure Fire ways to Sink your Enterprise Architecture

1. Include the words "always" and "never" in your architectural principles and policies

2. Believe positional authority trumps ability to influence

3. Practice methodology without anthropology

4. Hire an innovator and proceed to micromanage him/her

5. Utilize crowd wisdom for decision making rather than intelligence collection

6. View your architecture as an end, rather than a means
