In this presentation I look at the career path of a Business Analyst and how they can make the transition to a Business Architect. The primary subject areas discussed are:
-The goal of a good business model is to create coherence
-The Business Analyst and Business Architecture vocations
-What are the dominant skills across the mandate
-Strategies for moving up the curve to open the opportunities
-Enhance your Business Analysis role with Business Architecture thinking and tools
Driving your BA Career - From Business Analyst to Business ArchitectEnterprise Architects
IIBA endorsed Webinar presented by Craig Martin, Chief Architect at Enterprise Architects. Participants of this Webinar are eligible for 1 Continuing Development Unit (CDU) to go towards re-certification.
These slides will touch on areas such as; shifts occurring in the market, where the Business Architect and the Business Analyst provide value, how are the disciplines are merging and what the future could look like.
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.
DesignChain Business-by-Design Workshop Pack for IIBACraig Martin
There are a number of disciplines that provide “services” to an organisation. The challenge is that these disciplines are often overlapping, resulting in a loss of coherence amongst the actual disciplines and individuals that are meant to CREATE synergy and coherency.
How can we create synergy between design thinking, architecture thinking and agile thinking? Is there room for hybrid thinking?
There is also a lot of noise around tools and techniques within each of these disciplines. The challenge is how do they relate to one another? How can we build on these tools and techniques in a manner that not only extracts value from each but also facilitates a more coherent and higher value conversation with business.
In this whiteboard workshop aimed at Senior Business Analysis and Strategic Business Analysts, Craig will take attendees through a process of linking human centred design thinking, with strategic and business planning, business architecture and agile thinking.
Learning objectives:
Understand and be able to sell the value of the 4 disciplines
Understand how the 4 disciplines interact and when and where to use them
The 4 disciplines:
Design Thinking
Strategic Thinking
Business Architecture Thinking
Agile thinking
Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
To design business models of the future requires a comprehensive set of skills. The skills are diverse in nature and range from the typical business analysis delivery focused requirements management tools and techniques to the more business architect MBA style and business model innovation techniques.
But how can we leverage the two skillsets to create more cohesion in the industry?
Where is the overlap and is there a career path between the two?
What about the frameworks that support these two disciplines?
This presentation will deal with:
Shifts occurring in the market;
Where the business architect and the business analyst provide value individually;
Where the business architecture and the business analyst provide value together;
How are the disciplines merging; and what the future could look like.
Re-Positioning the value of the architecture practiceCraig Martin
In an increasingly competitive landscape, organisations are becoming more aware how important it is to develop business services models that are aligned to customer values. Organisations that are not able to take a customer focused perspective are losing footing in the market as they attempt to understand what it means to architect for the customer.
Topics include:
- The Pressures caused by Disruption
- Performance and Expectation Gaps at the CxO level
- Improving Architecture Value
- Discipline Confusion
- Unifying the Enterprise
- Architecture Services Design
- Architecture Demand Analysis
Building a more cohesive organisation using business architectureCraig Martin
In shifting the focus away from enterprise architecture being seen purely as an IT discipline, organizations are beginning to formalise the development of business architecture practices and business architecture outcomes.
The OpenGroup has made the differentiation between business, IT and enterprise architects through their various working groups and certification tracks.
However, industry at present is grappling to try and understand where the discipline of business architecture resides in the business and what value it can provide separate of the traditional project based business analysis focus.
This presentation will take the audience through an overview of some of the critical questions being asked by business and how these are addressed through the discipline of business architecture.
Using both method as well as case study examples, I will show the audience an approach to building more cohesion across the business landscape using business architecture techniques and artefacts.
The presentation will focus on using business motivation models, strategic scenario planning and capability based planning techniques to provide input into the strategic planning process.
It will also highlight some of the outputs through examples from engagements.
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?

Creating Agile Organizations by Combining Design, Architecture and Agile Thin...Craig Martin
This is a talk I gave to the IASA follow-the-sun community. It deals with the combination of the design thinking, architecture thinking and agile thinking disciplines into a combined discipline needed to create the a responsive organisation.
Design of Business in an Age of DisruptionCraig Martin
We are all acutely aware of the changes occurring in business. Market and socio political drivers are causing interesting business models to emerge and technological changes are resulting in new digital and disruptive business models that are reshaping our traditional industries. There is significant pressure to respond with solutions, products and services that are not only desirable from a human centred perspective but business viable and technologically feasible.
In order to cater for these pressures, new strategic planning disciplines and tools must be leveraged, or in some cases invented. These disciplines need to both help business solve wicked problems, as well as help solution providers inside and outside an organization provide more value based offerings.
This presentation will look at the emergence of design led strategic planning approaches that merge disciplines to help business decision makers test the viability of ideas and strategies, and play these out within an organisation to determine the high value positions necessary to succeed in the market. In this paper we explore on the fusion of design thinking, business design and enterprise architecture to help organizations address these challenges.

Architecture for the masses - An Open Group WebinarCraig Martin
An overview of the journey that Enterprise Architects has started in making the discipline of enterprise architecture available to a broader audience. The goal is to move it from the "black arts" space to be more accessible. This was done through the use of a MOOC.
The presentation discusses the education landscape and the business model disruption required. It then looks at where MOOCs fit into this disruption and introduces the EA MOOC journey.
An Introduction into the design of business using business architectureCraig Martin
Business Architecture is gaining interest from many non-traditional architecture stakeholders across the enterprise however most remain unclear of its scope and application. This webinar was presented through the Open Group as lead up to the London 2013 Conference on business transformation. It provides an overview of the language, methods and techniques of developing a business architecture and assist architects to demonstrate its relevance to business leaders. It also provides an insight into the method and techniques taught in the "Discovering Business Architecture" course run by Enterprise Architects.
On Wednesday 18th November 2015, Craig Martin presented a paper titled 'Looking for Disruptive Business Models in Higher Education' to the CAUDIT EA Symposium hosted at Monash University in Melbourne.
Craig discussed how to bring design thinking into enterprise architecture. The presentation covers the techniques of Business and Enterprise Design to develop innovative potential business models for Higher Education and various techniques to tap into the organisation, community and customers to build the Education businesses of the future.

The need for Business design to underpin strategic and operational agility Craig Martin
Talk given at the business architecture Master Series in Sydney October 2019.
Agility is here to stay. But dig a little deeper and you will see that fundamental strategic, structural and cultural issues exist that often prevent success within large organizations. Some organizations have learnt the hard way when it comes to the missing pieces of the puzzle around organizational agility.
I was recently asked by a new-ways-of-working team to help them apply business design to create the target operating model needed to enable structural, operational and strategic agility. Is this the secret sauce that’s been missing in the agility conversations?
In this talk I’ll discuss the broader issues around agility when creating the adaptive and fast learning organization. And discuss the "secret sauce" that is missing when it comes to business heuristics and patterns.
I will also look at the areas where agility is succeeding and failing and discuss the need for multi-disciplinary architects that can help with the transition across strategic, business and delivery lenses.
PS - this is a presentation pack. I dont put everything I talk to into a slide. Some of these slides will therefore lack some context for you. Next time I'll record the talk and you can hopefully catch the story around the slides.

How to develop and govern a Technology Strategy in 10 weeksLeo Barella
This presentation covers the organizational layout, EA Services and EA Governance processes necessary to develop and govern a technology strategy effectively.
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
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.
Don't be scared, level zero in a capability map is just a way to structure the map so that we have a consistent way of communicating. It's really not that important if all you wish todo is create an excellent set of capabilities for your business. However if you are intent on changing the foundation of your business then level zero is absolutely imperative to get right. Capabilities and capability maps are not organization structures, they do however serve as a powerful instrument when one need to create an organization architecture, in fact they are best thought of as organizing structures.
Object Oriented Business Capability Map - IIBA 2022 - Draft.pptxAustraliaChapterIIBA
Join IIBA® Melbourne as they host an online event specifically on how to develop business capability maps.
About this event
Ever wondered how to develop business capability maps? or perhaps you need a refresher?
Join Mohammad Mirkarimi Senior Business Architect at Capsifi and David Grindlay Principal Business Architect at Capsifi as they guide us through this session.
Captivated by art, science and business - Mohammad is trying to bring these three together. Moh is a drummer, a physics and biology enthusiast, and a business architect and analyst. He has studied Engineering, Business Management and Finance in academia. Also, equipped with IIBA, TOGAF and The Business Architecture Guild bodies of knowledge. Moh has worked as team member, leader and visionary in Management Consulting, Banking, Wealth, Insurance, Government, Telecom and Education industries.
With over 15 years of experience implementing software, David started his career as a business analyst in South Africa primarily in the financial services – insurance industry. In 2014 he moved over to Australia where he really started to observe the notorious gap between business strategies and project roadmaps as well as the downstream implications. More recently in his career, he gained broader exposure to other industries (Retail, Financial Services, Government and Hospitality) helping to structurally decompose business strategies, define the business landscape and help project teams (Business and Technical) realise and align on their common purpose. Today, David considers himself a Business Architect, doing whatever it takes to help companies realise their vision.
This session will contain two parts:
The first part is about learning the basics. There will also be time to review some theoretical stuff – but we promise it won’t be boring! We’ll review The Business Architecture Guild’s view by taking an Object-oriented approach to developing a business capability map
In the second part, we’ll pick a business (a simple one for this exercise, e.g. local cafe) and apply what we’ve studied to develop a business capability map for the chosen business.
At the end of the session, there will be time to share our learnings!
Capability models have a long history. They came out of business schools in the 50ies. In recent years the enterprise- and business architecture communities seem to have taken over, making capabilities more an IT rather than a business modeling concept. Most capability models we've seen fail to achieve their original purpose: to enable business people to design better enterprises - ones that are fit for purpose, efficient, adaptive to change and satisfy customers.
In this webinar, Wolfgang Goebl explains the typical flaws of capability models and design patterns for next-generation capability modeling. You will learn:
practical patterns to create capability maps that foster a seamless business & IT co-design
why most capability modeling efforts fail and how to overcome the usual problems
how to connect other elements of the architecture with capabilities - how to run a broad elicitation process with all relevant stakeholders
how to use capability maps in corporate management
In this session we are going to consider some lessons that Business Architecture practitioners might learn from Lean. Business Architecture has traditionally delivered ivory tower models which are slow to generate, hard to understand, and require heavy maintenance.
We'll start with a '101' level introduction to Business Architecture, discussing both the process of defining a Business Architecture and also some of the models that Business Architecture produces. We'll also try to understand the value of Business Architecture.
We'll then start to map some Lean Principles to Business Architecture and try and understand how we could potentially optimise the value stream. We'll consider where Business Architecture can be wasteful, discussing the diminishing value of information and the concept of analysis paralysis.
Finally I'll introduce you to a leaner approach to Business Architecture that focusses on rapid techniques for model generation and heavier engagement of system actors in both the development and the maintenance of models. I'll also share my technique for rapid enterprise modelling which can help you to build a capability model in hours rather than weeks/months.
Stepping-stones of enterprise-architecture: Process and practice in the real...Tetradian Consulting
What do we do when we’re doing enterprise architecture? What issues do we tackle, in what sequence, for what business reasons, for what business value? And how do we get results fast? This presentation describes how to adapt the Architectural Development Method (ADM) from The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) for use in all types of enterprise architecture - for IT and beyond - and at all architecture maturity-levels.

Using Business Architecture to enable customer experience and digital strategyCraig Martin
Digital disruption is shifting business model design from a focus on product profitability to a stronger focus on customer experience and lifetime value.
The presentation looks at environmental pressures caused by digital disruption and identifies how to use business architecture and business design to address these changes.
It covers business architecture for digital strategy, customer-driven value chains, re-writing of the 4Ps of the marketing mix, and the nine laws of disruption and how they affect business model design.Craig also investigates the changes afoot with strategic business planning and Enterprise Architecture, which are experiencing their own form of disruption. Will Enterprise Architecture as we know it become a commodity too?
This presentation was delivered as an OpenGroup webinar and is available for viewing from the www.enterprisearchitects.com web site.
These slides were presented as a 1 hour global webcast in partnership with The Open Group.
Summary: In an increasingly competitive landscape, organisations are becoming more aware how important it is to develop business services models that are aligned to customer values. Organisations that are not able to take a customer focused perspective are losing footing in the market as they attempt to understand what it means to architect for the customer.
Topics include:
- The Pressures caused by Disruption
- Performance and Expectation Gaps at the CxO level
- Improving Architecture Value
- Discipline Confusion
- Unifying the Enterprise
- Architecture Services Design
- Architecture Demand Analysis

Object Oriented Business Capability Map - IIBA 2022 - Draft.pptxAustraliaChapterIIBA
Join IIBA® Melbourne as they host an online event specifically on how to develop business capability maps.
About this event
Ever wondered how to develop business capability maps? or perhaps you need a refresher?
Join Mohammad Mirkarimi Senior Business Architect at Capsifi and David Grindlay Principal Business Architect at Capsifi as they guide us through this session.
Captivated by art, science and business - Mohammad is trying to bring these three together. Moh is a drummer, a physics and biology enthusiast, and a business architect and analyst. He has studied Engineering, Business Management and Finance in academia. Also, equipped with IIBA, TOGAF and The Business Architecture Guild bodies of knowledge. Moh has worked as team member, leader and visionary in Management Consulting, Banking, Wealth, Insurance, Government, Telecom and Education industries.
With over 15 years of experience implementing software, David started his career as a business analyst in South Africa primarily in the financial services – insurance industry. In 2014 he moved over to Australia where he really started to observe the notorious gap between business strategies and project roadmaps as well as the downstream implications. More recently in his career, he gained broader exposure to other industries (Retail, Financial Services, Government and Hospitality) helping to structurally decompose business strategies, define the business landscape and help project teams (Business and Technical) realise and align on their common purpose. Today, David considers himself a Business Architect, doing whatever it takes to help companies realise their vision.
This session will contain two parts:
The first part is about learning the basics. There will also be time to review some theoretical stuff – but we promise it won’t be boring! We’ll review The Business Architecture Guild’s view by taking an Object-oriented approach to developing a business capability map
In the second part, we’ll pick a business (a simple one for this exercise, e.g. local cafe) and apply what we’ve studied to develop a business capability map for the chosen business.
At the end of the session, there will be time to share our learnings!
Capability models have a long history. They came out of business schools in the 50ies. In recent years the enterprise- and business architecture communities seem to have taken over, making capabilities more an IT rather than a business modeling concept. Most capability models we've seen fail to achieve their original purpose: to enable business people to design better enterprises - ones that are fit for purpose, efficient, adaptive to change and satisfy customers.
In this webinar, Wolfgang Goebl explains the typical flaws of capability models and design patterns for next-generation capability modeling. You will learn:
practical patterns to create capability maps that foster a seamless business & IT co-design
why most capability modeling efforts fail and how to overcome the usual problems
how to connect other elements of the architecture with capabilities - how to run a broad elicitation process with all relevant stakeholders
how to use capability maps in corporate management
In this session we are going to consider some lessons that Business Architecture practitioners might learn from Lean. Business Architecture has traditionally delivered ivory tower models which are slow to generate, hard to understand, and require heavy maintenance.
We'll start with a '101' level introduction to Business Architecture, discussing both the process of defining a Business Architecture and also some of the models that Business Architecture produces. We'll also try to understand the value of Business Architecture.
We'll then start to map some Lean Principles to Business Architecture and try and understand how we could potentially optimise the value stream. We'll consider where Business Architecture can be wasteful, discussing the diminishing value of information and the concept of analysis paralysis.
Finally I'll introduce you to a leaner approach to Business Architecture that focusses on rapid techniques for model generation and heavier engagement of system actors in both the development and the maintenance of models. I'll also share my technique for rapid enterprise modelling which can help you to build a capability model in hours rather than weeks/months.
Stepping-stones of enterprise-architecture: Process and practice in the real...Tetradian Consulting
What do we do when we’re doing enterprise architecture? What issues do we tackle, in what sequence, for what business reasons, for what business value? And how do we get results fast? This presentation describes how to adapt the Architectural Development Method (ADM) from The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) for use in all types of enterprise architecture - for IT and beyond - and at all architecture maturity-levels.

Using Business Architecture to enable customer experience and digital strategyCraig Martin

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
