You are Flying Atlas V Missions in a New Glenn World
I want to talk about legacy thinking. Not old thinking. Not wrong thinking. But thinking that _was_ right - sometimes brilliantly right - and then calcified into doctrine.
Look up at the sky. Something remarkable just happened in space.
Blue Origin flew New Glenn - their massive, orbital-class rocket - for the third time. And they flew it on a booster they already landed and refurbished. The same first stage. Flying again.
That is not a space story. That is a legacy story. And yes, there was a glitch on cargo release.
The exact same pattern is playing out in enterprise architecture and business architecture right now. The certification became the thing itself. Organizations stopped asking whether the certification and framework served the mission - and started asking whether the mission was being performed according to the certification and framework. Do not keep flying Atlas V missions in a New Glenn world.
The new paradigm is not coming. It has arrived. The only question left is whether your organization will be the one catching up - or the one leading the way.
