About the 2nd Business Architecture Summit at BBC 2012

While it seems that everyone has an interest in Business Architecture, there is a wide range of ideas about what one should look like.

The three Chairs of the BBC have created this exciting new event to emphasize that Business drives Architecture. Elements from each of their areas – Business Rules, Business Processes, and Business Analysis – figure prominently in Business Architecture. Other techniques and ideas are needed too. This 2nd annual Summit offers you a unique opportunity to hear from real-world practitioners about what they have accomplished and how they did it. All the thought-leaders in the field will be there.

Included in the range of key topics for the Summit will be what a Business Architecture is, what it does for you, and how it does it. You’ll also hear about the very latest real-world approaches to build one for your organization. Find out how you can be successful in your organization! Key concerns include:

• Linking strategy to execution

• Aligning business operations with evolving strategy

• Governance, compliance, and standards

• Enterprise business analysis

• Enterprise business processes

• Organizational design

• Business capability planning

• Enterprise business decision processes – business casing, investment prioritization, proposal management

• The role of business rules and enterprise rule management

• Operational decision management

All the thought leaders in the field will be there ...
