Applying the EACOE and BACOE Architecture Methodologies to Analyze the Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

In this focused edition of the 2020’s Enterprise program, we will look at this Pandemic through the eyes of Enterprise and Business Architecture. A robust architecture methodology is a tool we can use to analyze things that are complex, and we are seeing significant complexity in this situation! But wait! If you are not a medical professional, why should you listen to this episode? Perhaps in this hour, we can provide some explicit thoughts and representations that can be provided to the medical community, to assist and aid their thought processes. We will apply out-of-the-medical-box thinking to this crisis situation. Let us take a brief time-out from the media driven hype and hysteria-focused analysis – whether on television or on the internet - and see if we can provide an additional frame of reference for those professionals diligently working to help us through this crisis. After all, the Enterprise we are analyzing is the largest and most complex in existence – us!
