    Abstract: As a business or technology manager or executive, success might be measured by how effectively you and your organization are able to translate strategy to execution while creating relevant value.

    Communicating the Business Architecture Value Proposition to C-Level Executives
    Abstract: Change is happening exponentially and sometimes it forces executive leaders to justify short term decisions with non-sustainable "immediate value" at the expense of the longer term best interests of the organization. Understanding the "what and why" of business architecture is a key enabler to informed strategic business decisions that drive corporate success, endure competitiveness, and realize value. The challenge for business architecture practitioners and advocates is to reach executive suites with a compelling message on the value of business architecture that effectively resonates with senior management. This session will delve into key elements of a well-structured and solid value proposition, "what and why" of business architecture, and best practices for communicating that proposition to executives with examples from real life.
