“…Even efforts of architecture modeling using discrete event simulation to create a shared understanding among actors during architecture creation are reported in Ref. 15. Spewak 53 also gives a detailed description on how interviews can be used during enterprise architecture creation, and discourages the use of workshops because it is difficult to stick to the agenda when using them.…”

“…It has been reported in Ref. 15, that during the development of enterprise (or reference) architecture, a negotiated solution may be more appropriate than an optimal solution. Negotiations among stakeholders and enterprise architects enable stakeholders to understand why all their concerns and requirements a A causal relation between x and y means that more of x leads to more of y, yet a conditional relation between x and y means that x is vital for the success of y (with no ample x there is no y).…”

“…This is because stakeholders' commitment increases as they gain shared understanding of the "as-is" and "to-be" aspects. 15 Thus, relation 6 is a conditional relation, while relation 7 is a causal relation. In addition, in Ref.…”

“…From relations 1 and 2, it can be deduced that effective and efficient collaboration (among stakeholders and enterprise architects) will lead to successful architecture creation (as indicated by relation 3). Relation 3 is also based on existing literature on enterprise architecture, [1][2][3]6,9,[15][16][17][18]53,54 which recommends that during enterprise architecture creation, enterprise architects need to work collaboratively with organizational stakeholders. The resulting sequence from relations 1, 2, and 3 is denoted as 1-2-3.…”

“…The need for effective collaboration between enterprise architects and key organizational stakeholders during enterprise architecture development has been emphasized by several researchers and practitioners, [1][2][3]6,8,9,[15][16][17] but a standard and explicit approach to address it is lacking. Although current enterprise architecture approaches define guidelines for (and expected outcomes of) enterprise architecting, they lack detailed support for activities that require collaboration among actors during architecture creation.…”

Gartner advises that for enterprise architecture development to be successful, it is vital that enterprise architects ensure effective communication and also form virtual teams that create and agree on enterprise architecture content. One of the ways to achieve this is to enforce Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) during enterprise architecture creation. Guided by Design Science, we are developing a method referred to as Collaborative Evaluation of (Enterprise) Architecture Design Alternatives (CEADA) to enable CDM during enterprise architecture creation. The method attempts to resolve challenges in enterprise architecting that are caused by ineffective collaboration between enterprise architects and organizational stakeholders. Requirements for CEADA have been defined based on the causality analysis theory, the generic decision-making process, enterprise architecture frameworks (and literature), and the CDM theory. In addition, Collaboration Engineering has been used to design a collaboration process to address these requirements. Models describing the requirements and the design of the collaboration process, have been evaluated using the analytical, experimental, and observational methods. This paper discusses the implications of findings from these evaluations and presents the validated requirements for realizing CDM in enterprise architecture creation. Thus, this research generally attempts to strengthen enterprise architecting guidelines with collaborative activities, so as to enable effective execution of collaboration-dependent tasks.

Creating enterprise architecture can be perceived as a creative problem solving task, since it involves managing organizational complexity and inflexibility by devising a synergic solution from all organizational units. Creative (or collaborative) problem solving in several fields has been supported by supplementing domain specific techniques with functionalities of a Group Support System (GSS). This paper aims to demonstrate how GSSs can also be used to support collaborative problem solving in enterprise architecture creation. Using the Design Science research methodology, a method was designed to support collaborative problem solving during architecture creation. This method draws from enterprise architecture approaches that are used in practice, and collaborative problem solving theories in academia. It has been evaluated using an experiment and two real life cases. This paper presents findings from this evaluation. The findings were used to refine the method, and they indicate that the effectiveness of academia-based artifacts in addressing problems encountered in practice, can only be achieved through continuous and diverse evaluation of these artifacts in practice.
