Real business architecture transforms businessGraham McLeod
Presented at the Open Group EA Conference in Cannes, April 2012. Introduces an expanded scope for Business Architecture incorporating Design Thinking. Provides an integrated meta model for business architecture compatible with Archimate and TOGAF 9. Techniques are from Inspired and Promis.
Business architecture is a business driven disciplined process that decomposes the enterprise business goals and strategies, the assets and processes required to execute them as well as identify their impact on business goals. Business architecture provides a blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the organisation and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands.
In this presentation Michael Payne debates the merits of placing Business Architecture within an organisation’s Business, IT or Enterprise Architecture departments. He examines some of the options available to organisations starting out with Business Architecture, and touches on Business Architecture engagement models. In addition, Michael provides a sneak peak into the new developments in the Open-BA Framework.
Enterprise Architecture Governance for an Enterprise Transformation Journey: ...Marcelo Sávio
This document discusses IBM's enterprise architecture governance approach during its transformation journey from the 20th to 21st century. It highlights three key points:
1. IBM underwent a major transformation to transition from a multinational to a globally integrated enterprise, standardizing processes across 172 countries.
2. Enterprise architecture and governance were important to this transformation by providing a framework to simplify, standardize, integrate, and increase flexibility across the company.
3. Lessons from IBM's experience include establishing governance owners for key business processes, taking an outside-in approach focused on customers and partners, and adding continuous transformation as a core leadership competency.
A Business Interoperability Framework for Government by Christine StephensonCraig Martin
Despite the focus on eGovernment and the delivery of seamless services to citizens, Government continues to be challenged to deliver business interoperability goals. Interviews with Government Enterprise Architecture stakeholder and a search of the literature suggests why government has failed to achieve seamless service delivery. It appears that interoperability in government is largely a combination of bottom-up, standards or application design based approaches. These result in Information Systems solutions that achieve interoperability within the application and technology domains, but not the business domain. Consequently, the public sector operates as a fractured collection of departments, with much complexity and bureaucracy reducing the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. The Business Interoperability Framework (BIF) draws from three disciplines of management practice and applies industry standards. These practice areas are; Enterprise Architecture; Service Oriented Architecture; and Business Process Management. The frameworks, standards/specifications that will be referenced are ISO/IEC 10746 (RM-ODP), TOGAF®, OASIS, UMM, BMM, BPMN and ISO 15000.
Key takeaways:
-- How to achieve top-down business interoperability outcomes
-- An architected framework for business success
-- Methods and tools that can be used to deliver business/IT alignment
In April 2016, one of EA Learning’s experienced Business Architecture instructors, Judith Oja-Gillam, delivered a webinar to a community of Architects and IT professionals within the IASA network.

Introduction To Business Architecture – Part 1Alan McSweeney
This is the first of a proposed four part introduction to Business Architecture. It is intended to focus on activities associated with Business Architecture work and engagements.
Business change without a target business architecture and a plan is likely to result in a lack of success and even failure. An effective approach to business architecture and business architecture competency is required to address effectively the pressures on businesses to change. Business architecture connects business strategy to effective implementation and operation:
• Translates business strategic aims to implementations
• Defines the consequences and impacts of strategy
• Isolates focussed business outcomes
• Identifies the changes and deliverables that achieve business success
Enterprise Architecture without Solution Architecture and Business Architecture will not deliver on its potential. Business Architecture is an essential part of the continuum from theory to practice.
Business architecture provides a blueprint of an organization that creates a common understanding used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands. It includes models like business models, operating models, value chain models, and capability models. Business architecture aligns strategic objectives and tactical demands by linking execution to strategy through tools like a VMOST model and by associating capabilities to strategy pillars. The benefits of business architecture include linking execution to strategy, providing a 360 degree enterprise view, fostering a common language, better defining the business, enabling reuse of IT assets, and breaking down business and IT silos.
Business Architecture is a multi dimensional discipline primarily focused on organizational structure and performance in terms of business strategy, business functions, capabilities, roles and their relationships. Implementing and executing Business Strategy goals is among Business Architecture’s focus areas.
This presentation and discussion will focus on Strategic planning relationship with Business Architecture. Employing Business Architecture techniques, Corporate Planners can translate business strategy goals into actions, identify critical areas of enterprise change and transformation while identifying and mitigating related risks.
Business architecture business modeling only webinarJudithOja_Gillam
This document discusses business architecture and business modeling. It provides an overview of how modeling the business can drive business based on industry best practices rather than being constrained by technology. Business modeling aims to focus on business objectives, align business processes to strategy, and effect improved company performance. Benefits of business modeling include cost reduction, standardization, stakeholder clarity, and supporting future state design. The document also includes examples of business architecture models like a blueprint and process architecture decomposition.
The document defines business architecture as a blueprint that aligns strategic objectives with tactical actions. It outlines the phases an organization must go through to achieve its strategic goals by changing organizational design, systems architecture, and technical architecture. Business architecture is necessary because many projects fail due to unclear requirements and planning. It works by designing strategy, a target operating model, portfolio, and project scoping to successfully deliver projects on time and on budget.
Max Poliashenko - Enterprise Product Architectureiasaglobal
Enterprise Product Architecture(EPA) is a new kid on the block that hasn't been established as well nor even well understood by industry analysts, yet it may be crucial for software product companies. EPA combines methods and governance models of EA however directed at customer facing solution or software products which gives it a distinctly different set of concerns and techniques.
Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...Craig Martin
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.

The document discusses business architecture and how it is transforming enterprise architecture. It provides an overview of business architecture, including definitions and frameworks. It outlines how business architecture delivers business value by connecting strategy to execution. It emphasizes the importance of understanding business needs, value streams, and delivering capabilities to address the "why" rather than just producing artifacts. The document shares proven practices from HP's experience delivering successful business architecture programs to customers.
Stepping-stones of enterprise-architecture: Process and practice in the real...Tetradian Consulting
The document discusses adapting the TOGAF enterprise architecture framework to have whole-enterprise scope rather than just focusing on IT. It proposes a stepped maturity model with 7 "stepping stones" to gradually expand the architecture's coverage. Each step builds on the previous to ultimately integrate all of an organization's business, people, information, and physical assets. The steps are described as preparing foundations, building an enterprise overview, rationalizing existing systems, guiding strategic change, designing for real-world constraints, and pulling everything together into a service-oriented enterprise.
A Day in the Life of an Enterprise Architect (Role Play Exercise) 2016Daljit Banger
During Nov 2016 the BCS EA SIG ran a session entitled "Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Day / Hackathon" in London - These are my slides for my sesion at the event.
Slides from a presentation given by Paul Turner to meetings of IIBA UK on 16 July and 12 August 2014.
Much has been written about technical and solution architectures, without due attention being given to how these work together with the Business Architecture.
It is easy to believe that those who are involved in business analysis, requirements definition and systems modelling do not need to consider the Business Architecture at all. This could not be further from the truth. This talk explains the rationale behind Business Architecture, what its main components are and why Business Analysts should ensure that they understand it and the influence it is likely to have on their work.
Evolving an Enterprise Architecture Practice - Spring 2015 v02 FinalJerry Sayre
This document provides an overview of Mutual of Omaha's enterprise architecture practice. It discusses the evolution of their enterprise architecture to become more business and strategy-centric. It then summarizes the key components of their enterprise architecture, including their business architecture, information architecture, application architecture, and technical architecture. The business architecture section focuses on their business model, capabilities, processes, and how these fit together. The information architecture section outlines their data architecture and approach. The application architecture section describes their approach to applications across mobile, web, and cloud. Finally, the technical architecture section notes their application portfolio management.
There are many activities and methods addressing business (project and strategic) planning and execution, however the planning cycle still remains flawed and sub-optimal.
-46% of business failures stem from misguided strategies
-More than half of all business projects are still failing
- One third of firms fail to achieve expected results from annual strategic plans
Leading organisations are getting in front of the planning cycle to positively influence project delivery and positive business outcomes with modern approaches geared to rapidly changing and complex environments.
Many disciplines purport to be the silver bullet to deal with these issues. The reality is that most businesses are just too chaotic to handle overly robust and formal techniques – but still want to ensure the right strategies and outcomes are achieved - and by design - not chance.History may look back at the evolving discipline of modern Business Architecture as one of the keys. For that to come true though, Business Architecture, as any methodology and framework, needs to be applied in a pragmatic and lean manner to be an effective tool for today's businesses.
This presentation, given by EA's Chief Architect, looks at Business Architecture and its journey – and necessity – to support a more agile approach to enterprise design.
- Business Analysis, Business Architecture and Business
- Design and where they intersect;
- What is the value of each?
- Where does the problem lie?
- What is currently working and what is failing;
- Where can we position the discipline to be the most effective in the organization, and have the greatest amount of impact on the strategic outcomes?
- What are the first steps to escalate the visibility and mandate of the discipline?
- What training is available and where does it get me?
It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution. In other words, doing things “right”. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities. In other words, doing the “right things” to support the business.
Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation? What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes? What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value?
In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture.
Learning Objectives:
• How to build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture (EA) to deliver positive outcomes for your organization
• Identify the different roles and functions of the PMO and EA as well as their similarities
Capability-based Business Model TransformationIlia Bider
1) The document proposes a capability-based approach to modeling organizations and transforming business models. It defines an organization as a recursive structure of capabilities that use resources.
2) A two-step approach is described: 1) uncover the current organizational structure by mapping main and supporting capabilities and their resource dependencies, and 2) transform the structure using patterns that restructure capabilities to implement a new business model.
3) An example case applies the approach to a software company transforming from consulting to a product vendor by identifying its current capabilities, resources, and applying a pattern to add value to an existing capability.
The document provides an overview of business architecture and its benefits. It discusses how business architecture can be used to (1) provide clear rationales for doing business architecture, (2) provide a filtered set of business architecture models, views and uses to mitigate project and analysis risk, and (3) suggest a staged execution model. The document then covers various topics related to business architecture including standards, blueprint models, the blueprint lifecycle, technology impact, and how to focus on getting the biggest bang for efforts.
The document discusses the Plan, Build, Run (PBR) operating model for IT organizations. It describes how the PBR model divides work into planning (Plan), development (Build), and support (Run) functions. The PBR model aims to improve efficiency, reduce costs for support activities, and better manage projects. It also includes a Manage & Enable function for cross-functional management and support. The document provides examples of how large organizations have implemented the PBR model when outsourcing IT services.
The document discusses the challenges of implementing new programs and policies without proper planning. It notes that policy is often crafted without fully understanding operational needs, and new requirements are identified late in implementation. This can lead to gaps and delays. The document then introduces enterprise business architecture as a solution to help understand interconnections, avoid duplication, and better support strategic decision making and change management across an organization.
