Starting with Accenture in 2009, Benjamin Zeller, Principal Director of Enterprise Architecture at Accenture DACH, describes the concept of enterprise architecture as the ‘tip of the spear’.

“We are a small group of strategic technology futurists that work on the tip of the spear of the strategy business to technology strategy and advisory business,” he comments. “We don't start by talking about infrastructure or application or technology; we start by talking about the business, about capabilities, how the market works and how the industry mechanics function. Only when we’ve understood that do we use our experience and our skillset in a technology space to translate that into achievable and effective solutions.”
