Summit Track Descriptions

Business Architecture Foundations

Interested in the nuts and bolts of business architecture? This track will highlight foundational techniques you can use to advance your practice.

Extending and Evolving Business Architecture

Explore how business architecture can be applied to driving the business forward. Collaboration with other business disciplines is mutually-beneficial for the business architect, as it advances our efforts and provides value to our colleagues.

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is more than a buzzword; it embodies a shift of our entire businesses to a consumer-centric, always present model. Digital is not about IT – it is about meeting today’s customers in the spaces and channel they prefer. Business architecture is fundamental to a business’s success in making this transformation; attending this track will sharpen your skills and help you succeed.

Business Architecture Skill Building

We’re doing something new for our Community members!  The TCBAF and its partners are excited to provide skill-building through embedded training sessions at the Summit. Each session will be led by instructors from Metropolitan State University or Anderson Process group, both certified business architecture trainers and active in our community.
