Starting more than five years ago, the TCBAF Community has teamed with S2E Transformation to promote and advance Architecting For Good (A4G). Our guiding purpose is to provide opportunities for our members to give back to the community by using their talents to help non-profit organizations, and at the same time bring the non-profits the benefits of business architecture for their organizations. Join us at our next Community meeting in October, as TCBAF founder Linda Finley will facilitate a roundtable discussion with Scott Erlanson, Mary Auer, Tim Jennissen, and others. All can join in as we first take a retrospective look at where we’ve been, and then look together to the future. Come and share your own experiences with the A4G program and learn how you can apply your architecture mindset to help others, learn from the discipline and your peers, and identify organizations that might need our help in the coming year. The floor will be open for new ideas for nonprofits and volunteer Business Architects. Let’s connect and continue the good work of A4G, not only to give back, but because this work broadens our individual competency and expertise, expands our worldview and gives opportunities and deeper meaning for the organizations we serve. See you there!

Join us on Tuesday, February 18 from 4:00-6:00 as Megan Starkey, Founder and Managing Partner of RBD Co. and Michael Arulfo, Principal Enterprise Architect at Boston Scientific and Executive Chairman at BETA.MN lead the our first TCBAF Community Meeting of 2025: "From Pilot to Profit: Connecting Strategy & Architecture for Successful AI Projects in Marketing." In this presentation, they will dive into the essential journey of transforming AI initiatives into tangible business outcomes. Designed for business architects, marketing professionals, and AI experts, this presentation unpacks how a structured approach to AI architecture and strategic alignment can unlock unprecedented value in marketing. They will begin with the AI landscape—its rapid evolution, pervasive influence across sectors, and why 80% of organizations are exploring AI but only 30% are executing effectively. Using real-world examples, including Mike and Megan’s firsthand experience crafting a generative AI strategy during the 2023 GenAI boom, this session sets the stage for understanding AI’s potential and pitfalls. Learn how to navigate risks, scale use cases like customer acquisition and predictive analytics, and avoid common pitfalls, such as lack of cross-channel integration or insufficient monitoring. Attendees will walk away equipped with actionable insights—such as keeping workflows human-centric and ensuring robust governance—to bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and scalable profitability. Join us to learn how to turn AI in marketing from a buzzword into a business driver. Sign up today! Please share this event on your LinkedIn network and any other channels to help us spread the word!
