On Thursday the 7th of March 2013 I delivered an Open Group webinar titled ‘Bridging Business Analysis and Business Architecture’. Since then I have received a number of queries so I’d like to follow up with a quick summary of the presentation.  In the presentation I investigate the relationship between the disciplines.  I outline the career path that one might take from the business analyst role towards more strategic business architecture roles and also look at techniques to make business architecture more effective in your organisation.

The presentation also highlights gaps and overlaps between BABOK, BIZBOK and TOGAF® and how using frameworks can support your current activities in this area.  Continuing this theme I have recently recorded a podcast with our CEO, Hugh Evans about business architecture and business analysis and what is the future of both of these disciplines.  The interview was moderated by Dana Gardner, president and principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions and was published on ZDNet.
