Case studies are one of the bet selling tools a service business can use on their webiste. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked or just plain boring. Even when they follow the problem/solution/result format, they wind up leaving reader thinking "So what?"I recently cam across an article, "The Secret To Writing Persuasive Case Studies" by Mark Levy that does an excellent job describing how to make your case studies stand out.

Just a short post re: the "Case Studies of Enterprise Architecture" event I presented at last week for the Birmingham Branch of the BCS.
Pleased to say that the event went very well, with a very good turn out, and I was told that it was almost twice the size of the average group meeting and the largest for the preceding year.
Sadly I only presented a few slides, although I spoke for almost two hours, and I won't be posting them in the short term for two reasons, first, there were only a few slides with no electronically captured notes, and second, I have a couple more presentations and talks to give on the topic, and this material will be the basis for them (more details below).
Basically the areas I covered, without giving too much away, were:
What is Enterprise Architecture ?

As a result, we also have have a history of lively debates over specific theories. These debates have not been able to resolve differences.Many regions of design are not well defined, and in such situations, researchers can find that apparently straightforward problems can lead to fundamental questions about the nature of design, what kinds of philosophical and theoretical positions that can frame the research and ground the methods, and their implications with regard to knowledge: what kinds of knowledge are possible within the frames needed to do the research.In short,
