You'll notice that a the word Event is used in some of the above titles. When I formed Logical Conclusions Inc I felt like a lone voice teaching seminars at organizations and giving talks at conferences about the importance of Events as a basis for structuring a business architecture. Now it appears the main stream academic and technical world has finally caught up. We see the term used in many areas, such as Event Based Architecture EBA, Service Oriented Architecture SOA and Event Stream Processing. Of course any author can use the term Event but its their definition that's obviously important, as Events can apply at many levels in an organization and it's systems. For example:
Obviously the definition is context specific. When we use the term Events in our seminars and talks it is best used within the context of the organization as that is the most important to a customer of the organization and therefore will provide the best basis for partitioning an efficient response to the customers needs. We call these types of Events - Organizational Events. That does not mean that one can't use the concept of Events within a smaller context, its just most powerful when viewed from an outside customer perspective rather than from a department or computer system view. I've discovered over my many years of teaching and writing that an "expert" is someone that has thought about a particular subject longer than most people (or at least longer than his client who's paying for his knowledge and advice). So having taught and written on this concept for over a quarter of a century I hope I can claim tenure. So, there are many Event "types" and you can also say there are many "flavors" within Event types. In the above bulleted list of Events the most important to me, as I have already stated, are Organizational Events. Within this type I identify 5 flavors, with the most important being a Business Event. These are the ones that define the "reason-for-being" of any organization. It is very important to identify the Business Events that make up an organization and to model them in an analysis effort and even to use them as a means for a new design or architecture and then on through to implementation of the improved organization. Using Business Events as a basis will, I believe, produce the ultimate implementation structure (I call the ultimate 'partitioning') for an organization. It has to be because it is Customer Focused and not based on any arbitrary, internal, political, historical industrial age, (use whatever adjective you want here) view. Of course there is everything right in carrying the concept of Event processing into smaller levels of detail. For example, in my early days as a systems designer/programmer I would try to obtain as much reusability of blocks of code as I could. It saved me rewriting and testing the same logic repeatedly in different programs. This reusability was easily obtained with separately compiled modules/subroutines. To the actual module a "call" to execute it was equivalent to a local Event. It was a "black box"; it didn't care who its boss was. (Does this sound like a concept of Service Oriented Architecture SOA?) An organization is just a bigger black box - especially to a customer. Needless to say all of LCI's seminars use Events as a basis for partitioning it's deliverable. A Process Model is partitioned by Events In our Business Process Analysis, an Information Model is partitioned by Events in our Business Information Analysis and even management models are partitioned by Events in our management seminars.
