BOOKS

I have withdrawn the two books you can see on Amazon.

The foundations of systems thinking

EA and systems thinking

Because more recent articles cover most of the topics better.

There is a book or two below. If you are publisher, you can make me an offer.

 

ARTICLES

 “Great articles”.

“Excellent articles about enterprise architecture / systems thinking and their brethren, kudos!”

“Very useful” “Fantastic article, concise and to the point.” “Really interesting, thanks for sharing your insights.”
