My approach to align Enterprise Architecture with business demands is focused in three areas: Management, Scope and Content. 
To succeed with an enterprise architecture initiative it requires top IT and business management buy-in. 
The scope of the enterprise architecture must be defined and agreed between business and IT.

1. Thoroughly understand of your business's goals and objectives. 
2. Understand the current state of your architecture. 
3. Identify gaps and opportunities.
4. Prioritize the identified gaps and opportunities.
5. Develop a roadmap to align the architecture with the urgent business demands. 
6. Review the impact of the changes and adjust as necessary.

You need to have your enterprise architecture defined, socialised and embedded as part of decision making criteria with all your top level stakeholders well before you get into discussions around how to manage ‘urgent’ business demands. If its not seen to produce value in less urgent demands its not going to work when there is a temptation to skip steps because or urgency. Your enterprise architecture principles should be pragmatic not academic so its flexible enough to deal with urgent business demands as well as day to day ones.
