Blockchain Governance Models: Insights for Enterprises
University of Arkansas
February 19, 2019
This white paper aims to answer the question: “What are emerging models and practices for shared governance over blockchains?” A blockchain application is a software application that maintains a distributed, immutable record of sequenced transactions (called a digital ledger) secured by a peer-to-peer network of independent computer nodes. While most innovation decisions happen within the boundaries of the firm, shared blockchain applications require coordination across firm boundaries. This requires a different approach to software governance because no single entity or individual can unilaterally make decisions regarding rule changes, code base upgrades, or record altering. This white paper is developed to help managers and developers think through, and assess, shared governance options even as they continue to evolve.

5 Trends Emerge in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2018
Gartner
December 08, 2018
Waiting curbside for an Uber or Lyft driver might one day be the old-fashioned way of getting around. Instead, passengers will need to head to the helipad to catch a ride from a flying autonomous vehicle. Not only will these future taxis take to the sky to potentially reduce traffic, they’ll operate independently of a human pilot.
Realistically, the world (and the technology) aren’t quite ready for autonomous flying taxis. The first challenge will be mastering the autonomous technology, which is still at least five to 10 years away. According to a recent test by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, today’s autonomous vehicle makers Level 2 driver assistance are not capable of driving safely on their own. The production vehicle that can safely drive itself anywhere, anytime isn’t available at the local car dealer and won’t be for quite some time.

Why Blockchain-Enabled Digital Ecosystems Are Vital To Your Digital Transformation
Forbes
March 02, 2020
Blockchain is being used by leading organizations to aid in the adoption of digital ecosystems. While ecosystems have been in existence in some form or another for quite some time, digital changes all that. Digital ecosystems exceed the sum of their connections; they are complex, adaptive, learning and self-organizing.
Examples such as Uber or Airbnb show that the reinvention of existing business models into platform businesses can be widely successful. Blockchain provides capabilities to bridge these connections while also supporting the fundamental economic principles of a platform business model. This model is so pervasive that it is reflected by the top 10 companies worldwide based on market capitalization.
Top Blockchain Trends For 2020 And Beyond
Forbes
February 01, 2020
I believe blockchain will have its breakout moment in 2020 as it moves beyond the hype machine to derive real value for mainstream enterprises. In fact, in Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey, 53% of respondents stated that blockchain technology became a critical priority for their organizations in 2019.
With the increased relevance of blockchain in the enterprise, key strategic trends have started to emerge. Here are five of them, along with how they will apply in a business context.

Office Business Applications: Building Composite Applications using the Microsoft platform
Microsoft Press
July 01, 2007
Foreword
Companies are adopting service orientation as a design principle to drive enterprise agility and business innovation. With service-oriented architecture (SOA), they can efficiently respond to business changes and evolve their IT systems rapidly. Service orientation is about decomposing the IT assets into easily consumable services. A composite application is the primary vehicle to deliver business value through service orientation and is a great way to aggregate these services to support cross-functional processes. Theoretically, composite applications allow for these services or components to be mixed and matched like blocks, allowing developers to customize applications to evolving enterprise needs relatively easily.
With the release of 2007 Microsoft Office System clients, servers, and tools, Microsoft delivers a true application platform that can be used to create collaborative, role-based, easy-to-use solutions that extend the traditional LOB applications and enterprise systems. Not only has Microsoft significantly improved the capabilities and tools for personal and business productivity, but it has also invested significantly in the extensibility and programmability of the 2007 Microsoft Office System. Microsoft calls these solutions Office Business Applications (OBAs) and recently announced the technology to design and develop OBAs.
Open CA Level 3: Distinguished Chief Architect
Gartner
August 11, 2011
Open CA Certification – is primarily concerned with the competencies that an architect possesses. In other words, how an architect thinks through solving a set of broad highly impactful enterprise problems to realize business value. For Open CA certification, it is not needed to be TOGAF certified or even know the TOGAF framework , that is one of many validated frameworks. One must prove to be able to have done architectural work in real life situations for many years. Open CA certification is very much like PMI certification for project managers that require detailed documentation, letters verifying your experience and a set of interviews to validate what was documented.

Microsoft Releases Financial Services OBA Component Library, Giving Firms a Head Start in Creating Applications Built on the 2007 Microsoft Office System
Microsoft
March 12, 2008
Helping financial services firms solve real-world problems in the areas of interoperability, extending legacy systems and creating compelling user interfaces, Microsoft Corp. today released the Financial Services Office Business Applications (OBA) Component Library at the sixth annual Microsoft Financial Services Developer Conference.
Microsoft OBAs are composite applications built upon the 2007 Microsoft Office system, utilizing the familiar and easy-to-use interfaces of Microsoft Office products and connecting to additional Microsoft technologies (such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) or other back-office systems. The resulting solution is built to model how people work within financial services firms day-to-day, integrating with existing workflows, reducing training efforts and trimming development time.
Loan Origination Reference Architecture
Mike J. Walker
August 02, 2007
The Loan Origination Reference Architecture shows how to build architectures that unify people, process and technology through familiar Office 2007 user interfaces. It includes an architecture framework for lending with an Office Business Application based scenario and BizTalk “MISMO” Accelerator for the loan origination process in banking. OBAs are an emerging class of business applications that connect existing line-of-business (LOB) systems with the people that use them every day through the familiar user interface of Microsoft Office, bridging the gap between how business process systems work, and how people work. OR-LOS will help customers simplify document management, increase integrated workflow, improve efficiency and ultimately lower time-to-market offering for faster turn-around and reduced cost.
Solutions that leverage the OR-LOS have the following benefits:
Empowers Business Users to make informed lending decisions
Using familiar Office tools for common business tasks (e.g., Outlook or Excel)
Provided with a extensible lending platform that will reduce the development cycle
Lending technology consolidation strategies can be derived
Interoperable Lending Platform through BizTalk MISMO Accelerator

So what exactly is the EATK? Well simply put it is a set of tools that will aid Enterprise, Solution and Domain Architects with their architecture efforts in a pragmatic way. The EATK does so by providing a set of base tools built in existing products that they may already have or use for the same purpose. The value of how the EATK rationalizes these solutions is by extending common interfaces used in enterprises such as Microsoft Word and Visio.

Enterprises are coming together in large numbers to form and participate in blockchain and DLT consortia, which allow companies to address common issues and challenges in their industries. Consortia often are being formed not to build new private blockchain protocols, but instead to collaborate in developing enterprise-hardened business and operational solutions using existing blockchain protocols.
Collaboration among industry players as they explore solutions can yield great successes, but also can lead to failures unless a comprehensive approach is used to consider the complex and inter-woven factors that could determine the fate of such efforts.

We’ll help you update your must-watch list with Mike Walker’s insights on the newest Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle from Gartner. In this multi-part discussion, we’ll start by looking at what exactly is a hype cycle, and more importantly, how exactly it will benefit your enterprise.

Platform Revolution: Blockchain Technology as the Operating System of the Digital Age
Platform Revolution - Don Tapscott
November 15, 2021
"Don Tapscott masterfully explains why blockchain capabilities combined with AI, IOT, big data, and others will be the essential platform to serve as the digital fabric for next generation business models. This book is a must for innovators. "
- Mike J. Walker
Blockchain Foundations for the Internet of Value
The University of Arkansas Press
September 08, 2020
Don and Alex Tapscott first inspired me to research blockchain-enabled solutions when they described how blockchains would transform the “Internet of Information” to the “Internet of Value” with their groundbreaking book, Blockchain Revolution and with the launch of Blockchain Research Institute. Based on case studies and interviews with over 100 executives, my new book explains blockchain foundations in easy-to-understand terms; presents over a dozen enterprise solutions that are in production today across financial services, supply chains, energy, and other industries; and identifies the action principles to move enterprises from aspirations to business and social value delivered. I am so grateful to the publishers Matt Waller and Mike Bieker and to contributors from EY; FedEx; IBM; iDatafy; KoreConX All-In-One Platform; McKesson; MediLedger; Mike Walker at Microsoft; Santander Empresas España; Stellar; VeriTX; Walmart and many more.

“This book will be invaluable in setting brands up for success as they shift to a world where AI must be at the centre of marketing strategy.”
The book is not hype. It’s a very well researched collection of global case studies of both success and failure with AI; sharing advice from academics and analysts, but also recommendations on vendors, tech disruptors, and many of society’s related major issues such as trust and ethics.
On this last point, I'm on the All Party Parliamentary Group Taskforce looking into the adoption of AI in enterprise, so please share your views with me.

Define your blockchain strategy: Innovate with blockchain, or face disruption
Microsoft
January 01, 2019
From a technical perspective, blockchain is a transparent and verifiable distributed digital ledger that will change the way people think about exchanging value and assets, enforcing contracts, and sharing data. The technology is a shared, secure ledger of transactions distributed among a network of computers, rather than resting with a single provider. Businesses are using blockchain as a common data layer to enable a new class of applications. Now, business processes and data can be shared across multiple organizations, which eliminates waste, reduces the risk of fraud, and creates new revenue streams.

The insurance industry today faces a collection of business process execution challenges quite unlike what it has faced in the past. Traditional business challenges such as customer retention, product profitability, new product generation, and loss rates have been exacerbated by explosive volatility, whether in the form of increased customer mobility, increased rates of change in business cycles, or simply greater volatility of weather and climate change. The accelerating rate of change of and within the business cycle is the ultimate root of these challenges for all Insurance agencies and carriers today.

Building Interoperable Insurance Systems with .Net 3.0 Technologies
Microsoft
October 02, 2007
Enterprise architecture has grown from being just a set of small pilots to being a fully sponsored and supported initiative within enterprises. With the growing demands to reduce costs, increase agility, and standardize IT environments, there has been a surge of enterprise architecture activity. According to Gartner and the MIT institute the growing complexities that span across process, information and software are among the three top CIO concerns. Additional pressures come from regulatory bodies that impose compliance guidelines on the industry (such as the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 or FFIEC Guidance). Compliance has been a catalyst for the formation of an enterprise architecture practice. This article will walk you through the daily challenges that an enterprise architect faces. By doing so, we hope to provide a unique perspective on this growing role in the IT industry.
Integration of Enterprise Architecture and Application Portfolio Management
Microsoft
October 02, 2007
For many enterprise architects, there is increasing pressure from CxOs to cut costs, reduce inefficiencies, and to foster agility in systems. Enterprises invest more than 70 percent of their budgets purely on maintaining their existing asset investments. This shows that there is a clear and present broken link between strategic business objectives and “keeping the lights on” in the IT department. This is verified by a recent report by AMR Research that reports that 75 percent of IT organizations have little oversight over their project portfolios and employ non-repeatable, chaotic planning processes.
By using an application portfolio management (APM) practice, IT decision makers can gain visibility into the application’s impacts that reside in the enterprise.
