Question: (about 275 words)
The "EA as Strategy" (see attached resource part 1 and 2) describes four stages of architecture maturity that should guide the evolution of EA in an organization toward the "optimized core" phase and beyond.

As the CEO of the company, explain why you would, or would not, want to achieve the business modularity level of maturity.
