Gartner Identifies New Approach for Enterprise Architecture
Gartner is calling EA as Emergent Architecture, rather than Enterprise Architecture.
Interesting! Gartner talks about how EA was practised in the past, and contrasts those practices to how it should be in future. I don't know, how far back is past... But, I have been leading Architecture for the past 5yrs, and been involved in Architecture for 10yrs+. I totally agree with Gartner's 7 approaches, but would also add that they are not new. We have been practising this all along. Not doing so would lead to Architecture living in Ivory Tower, and out of touch with ground realities! Any basic book on management could tell you this... You don't need to be an Architect to understand human dynamics or organisational behaviour.
