Business Architecture for the Digital Enterprise: An Exclusive Inner Circle for UAB Leaders

Summary
Significant opportunities and competitive pressures are driving banks to develop their digital capacity and transform into digital enterprises. This can lead to an almost overwhelming set of key decisions to be made and actions to be taken, all with speed. What strategic options should we pursue: create a digital department, spin-off a digital bank, conduct a merger or acquisition? How should we partner with FinTechs? What is the impact of new regulation and ESG expectations? What does it really mean to be a digital enterprise and how can we best prepare our workforce and technology environment for the future? What steps should we take to achieve our desired level of digital maturity – and how do we balance them with other efforts in the enterprise?

Business architecture is a foundational aspect of the digital transformation journey to guide your critical decisions, investments, and actions over the next 5-10 years and beyond. While many disciplines must work together in partnership, business architecture provides a blueprint, mindset, and approach that connects all the others. Business architecture helps connects the dots from business to technology, from strategy to execution to results, and from today to tomorrow.

This Inner Circle learning and collaboration experience is entirely unique and exclusively available for UAB digital leaders. You will learn the strategic, architectural, and big picture thinking and approaches that will accelerate and safeguard your digital journey – and help you build your own internal business architecture capacity. The Inner Circle provides an opportunity for you to immerse for a 6-month period with leading experts worldwide alongside an esteemed cohort of colleagues.
