Enterprise architecture is full of beautiful frameworks. We spend millions on TOGAF blueprints, ITIL value streams, and COBIT checklists. Yet, when the server room catches fire, our "Watermelon SLAs" (green on the dashboard, bleeding red on the inside) tell management everything is fine.
We sat down with Erkki Laine , the creator of the Business Impact Governance Framework (BIGF), to understand why enterprise frameworks need a deterministic physics engine.
Viti: Erkki, let's cut right to the chase. Enterprises already have TOGAF, ITIL, and COBIT. Why on earth did you build BIGF? Aren't there enough frameworks already?

TOGAF draws beautiful maps, ITIL tells you how to manage a ticket, and COBIT gives you an audit checklist. But none of them actually do anything at runtime.
