We, the humble progenitors of doings things came about after years of failed attempts at getting anybody to listen to anything that resembled an architecture body of knowledge, certification, practitioner, consulting group or any other pundit claiming to understand the enterprise architecture continuum.
Years of being beaten over the head with a rolled up newspaper, prodded by business leaders who proclaimed, give me my thingy nerd, left us with our conundrum. What value were we bringing the ticker symbol? Why did we exist? We were really smart. Like, go build rocket ships instead of getting beaten over the head with a newspaper smart, but we prodded along anyway with a notion that a framework and job title would make others listen to the soap box of complex human outpouring we gallantly powerpointed to over-perfection.
Now we write about getting things done. With a plan. That does things.
