A smart collegue pointed me towards Tom Graves as an Enterprise Architecture consultant, who "gets" the need for the application of different methods to make Enterprise Archtiecture a meaningful function/activity within an organisation (story, emotion, direction, not just TOGAF et al) - the presentation here (http://www.slideshare.net/tetradian/the-enterprise-is-the-story) gives a feel for his work.
I like it and it resonates very much with my own thinking on narrative/stories as the heart of any larger initiative to develop an organisation - it feels like some of the valuable assets that architects bring to the table could actually be harnessed for the enterprise by the application of some of these ideas (rather than just getting put on a shelf in the IT-architecture department) - and will certainly be reading some of his books - reviews to follow....
