“Business architecture represents holistic, multidimensional business views of: capabilities, end- to-end value delivery, information, and organizational structure; and the relationships among these business views and strategies, products, policies, initiatives, and stakeholders.” (Business Architecture Guild, 2020)

Business architecture has a focus on organizational business processes, aligning business strategy with value stream and product strategies, organizational structure, and enterprise data. Creating and maintaining a business architecture could help your organization achieve its business objectives and respond to strategic drivers. The process involves steps that include thoroughly mapping a baseline, designing a target architecture for the business, analyzing the gaps between baseline and target architectures, and creating a roadmap by which an organization can methodically achieve it’s desired target architecture.

My approach is a context-dependent application of TOGAF® 10 business and enterprise architecture principles, as well as the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge (BizBok, 2020). My techniques include: capability mapping, information concept and relationship mapping, organizational structure and relationship mapping, process modeling, structural analysis, use case analysis, and value stream mapping, with a broader sensitivity toward a wholistic enterprise architecture for the organization.
