Hippocratic Oath for the Enterprise Architecture Profession


By Jon - Posted on 20 January 2009

I'm all for developing the IT Architecture profession and especially that of Enterprise Architects, but this may be going a bit far.

All legitimate professions have a code of conduct on ethical behavior – it’s a requirement to be considered a profession ;-) The basis for the profession consists of standards around four E’s. Ethics (e.g. the oath to the profession), Education, Experience and Examination. Nothing to do with IT Architecture as a profession ;-)
