Although they’re sometimes doing non-technical work – trying to figure what are the right sets of tools, technologies, and platforms that are going to this organization's needs – there is an important opportunity to learn through those collective discussions. It's critical for enterprise architects to collaborate with application architects and solution architects to become better informed. However, from a patterns and framework perspective, enterprise architects’ should know where they fit into the larger enterprise design patterns and where they can be used and leveraged. This back and forth collaboration needs to exists and must be centered on what's new to avoid confusion.
Many see reuse as the holy grail. Something that is right in front of us now is the interoperability of services you have - the ability to get information in and out.

Reuse must be considered and prioritized now. What are those different ways of thinking about reuse that still enables the organization to accomplish its goals, while also allowing reuse to be more attainable in a the near future?
