 | Business architecture as a formal discipline has reached a level of maturity unimaginable just a few years ago, enabling businesses to deliver innovative solutions to complex business challenges. Business architecture is being leveraged to improve strategy development and deployment, organizational design, initiative planning, performance analysis, operating model improvement and change management. In addition, organizations are leveraging business architecture to streamline portfolio management, case management, business process management and business requirements analysis. On March 25-26, 2014 in Reston, VA the Business Architecture Innovation Summit, co-sponsored by the Business Architecture Guild and the OMG, is pleased to showcase a number of these experiences and success stories. This year's Summit will feature practitioners and thought leaders from financial services, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, retail and other industries. In addition, leading industry experts, including collaborators and contributors to A Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge (BIZBOK™), will discuss rapidly emerging concepts and disciplines. Discussions will weave together state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice approaches that include practice deployment; strategy mapping; capability, value and information mapping; business design; investment and initiative analysis; operating model alignment; business-driven IT transformation; building your practice and getting started. Attendees will exchange ideas and experiences in formal and informal settings over this exciting two-day event.
