Informal: the Business Architecture is a blueprint of the enterprise built using architectural disciplines to improve performance. Formal: The Business Architecture defines the
enterprise value streams and their relationships to all external entities, other enterprise value streams, and the events that trigger instantiation. It is a definition of what the
enterprise must produce to satisfy its customers, compete in a market, deal with its suppliers, sustain operations, and care for its employees. (Source)

Business Architecture is a discipline and set of methods for the holistic design of organisations. The architecture of a business is “the arrangement of the functions and features
that achieve a given set of business objectives” (adapted from King, 2010).
Sam Holcman
Business Architecture is explicitly representing an organization’s desired state and as-is state, through a set of independent, non-redundant artifacts, defining how these artifacts
relate with each other, and developing a set of prioritized, aligned capabilities needed to meet the organization’s goals, communicating this understanding to stakeholders, and
advancing the organization from its as-is state to its desired state. (BACOE, EACOE)

Formal: Business Architecture is (1.) 1. A specialization of the Enterprise Architecture business function that collects and manages functional, structural, and motivation-related
information using a rigorous scientific and engineered approach for the purposes of business design, functional improvement, motivational alignment and decision support. (2.)
One of the four traditional domains of Enterprise Architecture. Informal: Business Architecture -- A specialization of the Enterprise Architecture business function that uses
science and engineering to design and implement business functional and process improvements and strategically-aligned change initiatives.

An organized and repeatable approach to describe and analyze an organization’s business and operating models to support a wide variety of organizational change purposes;
from cost reduction and restructuring, to process change and transformation.
Art Caston (as cited by Dave

Business Architecture supports business opportunity assessments, strategy development, and business transformation program planning by creating various business reference
models, populating these reference models with current business information, and creating integrated target architecture models to show future market positioning, product and
service capabilities, enterprise structure and responsibilities, and proposed business partner relationships. These target models are used by related business planning functions
to structure, organize, and govern related transformation programs.

A business architecture [noun] helps a client (the business owner/director) to better understand the landscape (business environment, context, or market); understand their
choices and constraints; and articulate their vision (requirements) such that designers (of processes, roles, systems, apps, etc) can create a coherent set of artefacts that can be
used to plan and build/buy and test against](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/leanbusinessarchitecturev3-140710204245-phpapp01/85/Lean-Business-Architecture-6-320.jpg)

Lean Business Architecture
The document discusses lean business architecture, defining it as both a 'thing' and a process that encompasses various components of an organization including strategy, governance, and business processes. It outlines lean principles such as identifying customer value, eliminating waste, and promoting continuous improvement, applied within business architecture. Furthermore, it provides practical examples and encourages the use of existing industry models for effective implementation.

Define What is of Value to the Customer “It is not enough that management commit themselves to quality and productivity, they must know what it is they must do.” “A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves, components become selfish, competitive, independent profit centers, and thus destroy the system. The secret is cooperation between components…” W.
