6. What is Business Architecture?
“The structure and behaviour of a business system . Covering business functions
or capabilities, business processes and the roles of the actors involved in these.
Business functions and business processes are mapped to the business goals
and business services they support, and the applications and data they need”
"A blueprint of the enterprise that provides a common understanding of the
organization and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands."

14. The role of the Business Architect
The Business Architect converts high-level
business strategy and business needs …….
……. into an integrated vision of the future
……. and then redesigns the business capabilities
necessary to deliver the goals of the vision.
This provides a holistic, complete and co-ordinated
set of business models the best of which become
blueprints for future profit and growth.
These roadmaps are then broken down into initiatives
for implementation
