It is not easy (Impossible? – But that’s why I like it!) to just state what Architecture and Engineering are.

Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

Architecture and Engineering, bring important things to the table, and makes the whole much more than the sum of its parts.

C-Suite: Instigate training so that people recognise the differences between Architecture and Engineering, and use both appropriately.

Questions to ponder...

Are you more of an Engineer or an Architect or are you both?

How much time are you allowed to spend “thinking” rather than “doing”?

If you were given the space to think more, would you be better at your job?

How many Architects does it take to change a light bulb?

(None - It’s an Engineering problem ;-)

Does your Enterprise use Architects and Engineers in an appropriate way?

Can you think of other ways that Architects and Engineers contrast each other?
