Walter-
I recently posted some entries on my blog about horizontal and
vertical thinking, which I think are an important factor in
organizing around SOA. While I don't make any specific
organizational recommendations, I think it's important that any team
understand whether they are operating in a horizontal or vertical
domain. My latest post applies this concept to the Data Services
domain and discusses some the challenges associated with it.

Can someone pls. point me to any accepted best practices around
"re-organizing" for SOA ? While much has been said about
SOAGovernance in terms of IT - I'm interested in the things which
need to happen to pro-actively manage the disruptive impact that
largescale SOA efforts will cause to the organizational side that
touches the busienss - political - cultural landscape of an
enterprise. As the silos begin to break down - how to deal ahead of
time with the inevitable jockeying and resistance which arises to
block integration efforts because people are worried about losing
funding , control or just the uncertainty? How best to bring
stakeholders together from an organizational perspective to get the
best
buy in ahead of time ? Have any of the standards bodies considered
this aspect of SOA? Any well known publications / books on this
topic ? I'm looking for sources that "weighty" and credible that
can be quoted or pointed to - to help folks understand how critical
this is to large scale SOA
Thanks in advance for your help.
