Learning using an enterprise design conceptual framework

Providing a learning environment to achieve an operation transition for an enterprise architecture requires tools and techniques to provide the: design analysis; development analysis; implementation analysis; change management analysis; and fitness-for-purpose analysis. The Enterprise Design Conceptual Framework (EDCF) has proven to be a useful tool both for consulting and for learning pedagogy. Using this framework we can conceptualise an enterprise, build a model and differentiate it from its competitors or from other enterprise of the same or similar type. Because it is dynamic we can examine it at ‘points-in-time’ over time and note the changes. EDCF enables us to take and to teach a holistic view of an enterprise and to examine the contribution of each element to its performance both dependently and independently as to its 'fitness for purpose'.
