In this talk, Eduardo discusses a concept he has been working on called "Architecture Topologies", a set of thinking models and practices to help organisations understand and improve their approaches to architecture. Having explicit language to do that is essential:

💡I love @simon.bvssh.com's framing of enterprise architecture (and his continuous work on modernizing the topic): It is all about aligning (and considering) the business architecture, organizational structure, and systems architecture. Approaching things in isolation will lead to subpar outcomes!
