Architecting

The Interweaving style of Enterprise Architecting is human-centric, work-oriented and based on the Interweaving practice. It is focused on delivering worthwhile benefits to the inhabitants of organisations, communities and enterprises. It recognises values co-created by myriads of beings, thinkers, decision-makers, doers, and learners. This is where we focus our creative energy to enrich the idea of architecture and architecting through interweaving thinking and practices.

A progressive governance model that replaces the classical Architecture Review Board. DA-ARB operates as an eight-stage funnel — from a lightweight self-assessment at initiation through production-phase advisory governance, audit, and a formalised Learn stage. Governance effort scales proportionally to the complexity and risk of each initiative. Three principles distinguish the approach: those affected by architectural decisions are engaged when they can most meaningfully contribute; architecture is recognised in three simultaneous forms — explicit (documented), embodied (understood by people), and embedded (enacted in systems and practice); and governance serves both control and the building of shared commitment, not just procedural compliance. The model is designed for organisations where architecture and execution are entangled, where decisions emerge progressively, and where governance must build the understanding that makes architectural standards genuinely adopted rather than formally acknowledged.
