Enterprise Architecture Must Start Outside the Enterprise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Enterprise Architecture is often described as the discipline of understanding an organisation from the inside out: its business capabilities, processes, applications, data, technology, governance, and operating models. We create architecture principles, reference architectures, roadmaps, standards, and technology strategies. We map the enterprise in increasingly sophisticated ways.
Why Enterprise Architects Must Design for Results, Not Just Systems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Enterprise Architecture has traditionally been associated with the internal structure of an organization. We map applications, rationalize technology portfolios, define data models, establish standards, and design target architectures. These activities are necessary. But they can also create a dangerous illusion: that if we understand the inside of the enterprise well enough, we understand the enterprise itself.
De-Siloing the Carbon Ledger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In asset management, we often talk about the “plumbing” of finance. As an Enterprise Architect, my role is to design, connect, and fortify that plumbing. For decades, investment firms have invested heavily in systems of record for transactions, portfolio accounting, market data, performance, and financial risk. Yet the transition toward a net-zero economy is exposing a new architectural challenge: climate data does not naturally fit into the traditional investment technology landscape.
Building a Climate-Value Architecture for Alternative Assets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In alternative investments, climate change is increasingly moving from the sustainability function into the investment committee. Private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure investors are discovering that climate risk is not simply a reporting obligation or an ESG consideration. It can directly affect cash flows, capital expenditure, financing costs, debt capacity, terminal value, and ultimately investment returns.
Climate and Valuation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The investment management industry is facing a fundamental architectural challenge. For years, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have often been treated as overlays—separate datasets acquired from external vendors, stored in specialized platforms, and consulted by investment teams when required. But this architecture increasingly conflicts with the economic reality of climate change.
