Abstract

Enterprise coherence pertains to the extent to which all relevant aspects of an enterprise are connected in such a way that these connections facilitate an enterprise in obtaining/meeting its desired results. The GEA (General Enterprise Architecting) method treats enterprise coherence as something that can be governed explicitly. GEA’s Enterprise Coherence Framework (ECF) is qualitative in nature. Being able to really measure enterprise coherence would greatly support the analysis of enterprise coherence. In this paper we setup a research approach for developing enterprise coherence metrics and perform a first step in working towards an Enterprise Coherence Quantification Framework (ECQF) as part of a methodology. A case from GEA training practice is used for validation of a first application of the ECQF.
