Adaptive enterprise architecture theory, sometimes abbreviated to AEA, involves adapting, defining, operating, managing and supporting (ADOMS)  enterprise architecture design (Gill 2015). The focus of design is on the  design of adaptive enterprise as an "adaptive enterprise service system" operating in the networked and connected ecosystem (system of systems).

Outer layer: The adapting capability involves context awareness, enterprise architecture assessment, rationalisation, realisation, and unrealisation of changes for adaptation.  The adapting capability includes: scan and sense, interpret and analyse, decide and respond to internal and external changes (data-driven adaptability). The adapting capability in the outer layer initially identifies the change requirements (initiatives or ideas) that may initiate 1 or many projects. These project(s) initiatives or ideas can be further defined and handled through the inner layer via integrated engagement and governance. Deferred or low priority changes are pushed to unrealisation, which can be pulled again and reprioritized for realisation, if required.  Inner layer: This includes defining, operating, managing and supporting the integrated adaptive enterprise architecture capability for handling the change for adaptation via identified projects from the outer layer.
