Quantifying Enterprise Coherence

Abstract

General Enterprise Architecting (GEA) is a framework to govern coherence in complex organizations, and is based on both scientific insights and experiences from practice. GEA postulates that coherence of an enterprise relates to its performance. A quantitative expression of enterprise coherence has the opportunity to function as a leading indicator for performance. GEA does measure steering on enterprise coherence, however measurement of enterprise coherence itself is yet lacking. The research offers a setup for design of an information product, that somehow expresses enterprise coherence itself.
