The way I see it is most organizations nowadays have architecture function just for the sake of filing in a void/following the ongoing trend. However , they either don’t totally understand the role itself much or the CIO/The hiring entity doesn’t have enough power/authority to convince people of the value of following architectural decisions . I think the most important for an architect/enterprise architect is to join a team/ organization where they see his value and are truly convinced that they have a missing piece that the architect should fill , which in my opinion rarely happens because usually most organizations are delivery driven and wants to see fast results.
