About Us

Business architecture is a growing discipline around the world; its practitioners help to ensure that the alignment of capabilities and enablers within all types of organizations is optimized to deliver value to consumers, customers, and constituents in the most effective, efficient, and nimble manner.

Founded in 2010, the Twin Cities Business Architecture Forum (TCBAF) is a Minnesota-based organization dedicated to the understanding and advancement of the role and professional practice of business architecture. We exists to promote common definitions and standards, share ideas, and connect like-minded professionals with networking through meetings, activities, presentations, and educational development opportunities at the local and regional level.

The twin cities metro area of Minneapolis and St Paul in Minnesota is a bright spot within the nation for business architecture. We are delighted to have broad awareness, understanding, and adoption of this important discipline locally–expanding nationally and globally–and we believe it strengthens business communities and organizations overall. We are recognized as the largest organized business architecture Community of Practice worldwide, with several thousand members participating in our Community discussions and meetings.
