Executive Summary

Enterprise architects often encounter resistance to architecture governance from project-focused staff who argue that governance hinders agility. But this argument confuses project-level freedom with organizational agility. True enterprise-level agility requires the architectural coherency that comes with an architecture vision realized through conscientious governance. But governance will remain a difficult issue for enterprise architects, as the demands of Tech Populism, an increasingly flat world, and the desire for more innovation will make governance issues more complex. The bottom line? Enterprises don't need less governance — they need better governance.
