Details

This masterclass demystifies the strategic discipline of business architecture comprehensively.

We discuss what business architecture is and is not and how it represents the business ecosystem, leveraging capabilities and value streams as the foundation. We explore the why of business architecture, including how organizations leverage it for value, practical business usage scenarios, and the importance of strategic positioning. We then discuss how business architecture relates to other teams and disciplines. We also discuss how organizations can establish and mature an internal business architecture practice and the steps needed to get started and succeed. The Business Architecture Essentials Masterclass includes approximately six hours of content, and is entirely complimentary.

A special thank you to Paul Kurchina, SAP Community Evangelist, Connector, Analyst, and Advisor, for making this masterclass possible and available for everyone!
