Meet in the middle makes a lot of sense.

I like the Winchester Mystery House analogy. But, it occurred to me that it’s also a good analogy for the starting point.

The biggest hurdle to achieving the agility SOA brings is the change management required to agree to and begin to renovate the Winchester House in the first place.

Often, that initial, bottom-up, ROI-based success is required to even justify starting in the middle.

Thanks, John
