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. At Highmark Health Services, business architecture is grabbing the attention of technology and business practitioners as a key component of value realization. By aligning organizational assets (people, process, information, and technology), business architecture is providing the framework for managing strategic investment more effectively while purposely driving tactical execution. This session will discuss business architecture fundamentals, the emergence of standardized disciplines, alignment with best practices and a vision of business architecture for the future. -

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. -
