		<description><![CDATA[This is a big a broad question:  "What is the value of architecture?"  I am working on a project regarding the value of full scale architecture supporting IT - from operational to system to technical.  But in thinking about this, I am finding connections to lots of other areas that have been around for a while.]]></description>

But what does that mean to business professionals and organizations?  Here are some thoughts on implications based upon the ITIL framework. ]]></description>

These three disciplines all have associated business certifications, living largely in the 'business' versus technical realm, and all relate in some way to processes.  But how can these disciplines relate to one another in such a way that greater value is created for the individual as well as the organization?]]></description>

All of this is particularly applicable to IT projects.]]></description>
