Abstract
A company is subject to frequent changes driven by changing business requirements and objectives. Such changes must be managed properly and require a corresponding organisational unit. Traditional organisational forms follow a top-down approach—i.e. Enterprise Architecture Management is driven by top management. Recent experiences show that a more collaborative Enterprise Architecture Management approach is required.

I remember one of my bosses that hired me, because she wanted to set up EAM in an organisation. Only 7 months after I started my new position as business architect, she had to resign. She was only focusing on collecting data and creating maps, but did not manage to communicate the benefit towards corporate management.
