Across the Middle East, everyone says they’ve “implemented EA.”

→ A national airline.

→ A major Gulf bank.

→ A digital authority in the region.

→ A global logistics player based in the UAE.

→ Even a ministry that awarded EA certifications.

But when we looked under the hood?

What we found wasn’t ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE.

→ It was slide decks.

→ System inventories.

→ Buzzword-aligned frameworks.

→ Project-specific diagrams.

→ Nothing that linked 15 departments.

→ Nothing that connected STRATEGY to OPERATIONS.

→ Nothing that could diagnose anything when things broke.

And here’s the truth no one admits:

WITHIN 18 MONTHS, most EA teams abandon the ‘enterprise’ and jump to the next high-profile project.

Not by ignorance — but by choice.

Because they know:

→ WHAT THEY BUILT WASN’T ENTERPRISE.

→ IT WAS FRAGMENTS.

Today, those EA documents sit untouched.

→ Not used in Decision-making by departments heads.

→ Not referenced in Boardrooms.

→ Intellectual Investments that became digital JUNK.

In our latest blog, we’ve mapped 12 such success stories — each tied to a industry and mapped to different core function (departments) of the enterprise.

→ What was claimed.

→ What was really done.

→ And what the ENTERPRISE ANATOMY would’ve required.

THIS IS A MIDDLE EAST REALITY.

→ BUT IT’S NOT JUST LOCAL — IT’S GLOBAL.
