26 Question What do: –1. Enterprise Architecture –2. Semantic Interoperability –3. Service-Oriented Architecture –4. Data and Information Architecture –5. Service Systems, and the –6. Networking Communities of Practice Have in Common?

27 The Answer “The Medicis were a banking family in Florence who funded creators from a wide range of disciplines. Thanks to this family and a few others like it, sculptors, scientists, poets, philosophers, financiers, painters, and architects converged on the city of Florence. There they found each other, learned from one another, and broke down barriers and cultures. Together they forged a new world based on new ideas – what became known as the Renaissance.” –Frans Johansson, The Medici Effect, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, pages 2-3.

28 The Answer The Medici Effect: –“When you step into an intersection of fields, disciplines, or cultures, you can combine existing concepts into a large number of extraordinary ideas.” (recall slide 19) –“We have met teams and individuals who have searched for, and found, intersections between disciplines, cultures, concepts, and domains. Once there, they have the opportunity to innovate as never before, creating the Medici Effect.” Frans Johansson, The Medici Effect, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, page 186.
