Adaptive Architect Roles

-

In my last post, I discussed about the customer-centric value proposition oriented adaptive architecture for enabling business sustainment, optimisation, innovation and transformation. This post further expands on the role of an adaptive architect. An adaptive architect needs to be embedded in the business to understand the stakeholders' concerns and viewpoints from within the internal business and external business operating environment perspectives. An adaptive architect can assume different roles to address different stakeholders' concerns.

    Interesting. Given the two types of leadership you listed I was thinking about a third I have being actively considering and that is a leader in a distributed leadership model, when leadership is divided and delegated not just tasks and projects, rather than our typical top down model. In many ways it should be a consequence of the first 4 roles and enable innovation by seeking diversified leadership. Not as extreme and leaderless models or pidgin holed by subject area leadership.

Matter and energy flow in the natural ecosystem. Further, from natural ecosystem, these 3 matter, energy and their
