Enterprise Architecture gets better in a community.

The most useful topics come from real work.

So what should we unpack next?

Enterprise Architecture is most valuable when it answers the questions people are already carrying into meetings.

That is why I am asking EA readers to submit topics for future “Day in the Life of an EA” blogs. Not broad themes. Not theory for the sake of theory. Practical questions from real work.

A useful submission might start with a decision your team is facing. How should we simplify a crowded application landscape? What does good governance look like when delivery teams need speed? Where should an Enterprise Architect lean in during SAP or other ERP modernization? How do we clarify data ownership, AI guardrails, integration accountability, portfolio priorities, or architecture debt without slowing everyone down?

The strongest submissions will include a little context – which we can attend to later or you can email me.. It only needs to be real enough that another leader or architect would recognize the tension.

Useful submissions can also come from patterns. Maybe the same roadmap debate keeps returning. Maybe a project team keeps treating architecture as a barrier. Maybe executives want a capability model but do not know how to use it for funding, sequencing, or accountability. Those are exactly the kinds of topics worth turning into practical reflections.

This matters because good EA content should make work easier. It should help a sponsor prepare for an executive conversation, give an architect language for a difficult tradeoff, or help a delivery team understand why a design decision affects value, risk, cost, and speed.

Cornerstone Consulting’s work in enterprise architecture, EA coaching, ERP transformations, and transformation advisory is built around the same discipline: listen carefully, find the decision underneath the noise, and help the enterprise move with more clarity.

So I am requesting your submissions. Send the EA topics, questions, and messy decision points you want unpacked in future blogs. The best reflections will come from the work readers are actually trying to improve.
