Session Abstract
Building a Successful BPM & Enterprise Architecture Capability
Nobody starts their career thinking, “I want to become an enterprise architect.” Yet, the organizations that adapt quickly and operate effectively all have one thing in common: a well-established architecture capability—whether centered on enterprise architecture (EA), business process management (BPM), or IT architecture at varying levels of maturity.
This session is designed for professionals who recognize the need to establish or strengthen an architecture practice within their organization. To manage change responsibly and sustainably, organizations must be able to describe, analyze, plan, support the implementation, and measure the impact of transformation initiatives.
In this webinar, you will learn a practical, end-to-end approach to implementing a BPM/EA program that delivers real value. The presentation introduces a proven methodology that spans strategy definition, governance design, tool selection and configuration, and the structured creation and management of architectural content.
Beyond frameworks and tools, the session emphasizes how to engage stakeholders and bring people along on the journey—ensuring adoption and long-term success.
Join this session to gain a clear, actionable roadmap for building a sustainable architecture capability that enables your organization to adapt, evolve, and thrive.
