Agent Sprawl: Enterprises Repeating Silo Mistakes, Gartner's Governance Fix

Enterprises are rapidly deploying AI agents per department, mirroring the system-silo chaos of 20 years ago; McKinsey and Gartner warn of uncontrolled agent proliferation, predicting 150,000 agents per Fortune 500 firm by 2028, and prescribe six governance steps plus a three-pillar relationship framework to align agents with business, capabilities, and accountability.

Why Value Streams, Capabilities, and Processes Are Not a Hierarchy: The Mapping Relationship Explained

This article clarifies that value streams, business capabilities, and business processes are three independent architectural perspectives linked by mapping relationships—not a linear decomposition chain—using OMG BACM standards and Huawei's practice to debunk the common L1–L6 confusion.

What Is Business Architecture? Comparing BIZBOK, TOGAF, and OMG BACM's Core Domains

This article compares three major business architecture frameworks—BIZBOK, TOGAF, and OMG BACM—detailing their core domains (capabilities, value streams, information, organization, processes, strategy) and converging on the principle that business architecture is a holistic, multi-view blueprint rather than a single model.

Agent Architecture: Why Layer Count Misses the Point — Google's 4-Layer Model

The article argues that the number of layers in AI agent architecture is less important than clear boundaries, analyzing Google Cloud's four-layer reference model — Interaction Channel, Agent Core, Standardized Integration, and Backend Systems — which explains how agents understand tasks, invoke enterprise capabilities, and integrate with existing IT systems.

Four Methods to Identify Business Capabilities: Value Streams, Processes, Objects & Models

This article outlines four methods for identifying business capabilities—top-down via value streams, bottom-up from process activities, around business object lifecycles, and referencing industry models—and explains how to combine them, manage granularity, and link capabilities to value streams, processes, and IT systems using Huawei's Y-model framework.
