 Highly effective business architecture helps to facilitate the varying business dialogues, planning, analyzing, and orchestrating of business change initiatives.

Business Architecture contains the organizational context and is strategic in that it gives direction to improve organizational maturity. It creates a high level of consensus which implies that it is an acceptable, transparent, and credible basis for evaluating, selecting, and reasoning of business transformation. 

Business architecture has to understand the business from a number of points of view in dealing with dynamic business reality, and can be used as a facilitation tool for implementing strategy, driving change, orchestrating digital transformation.

Architecture & leadership: Innovative leaders leverage architecture tools to reinvent the organization by reimagining the future of business, realign corporate structure, or rejuvenating culture via enriched enterprise knowledge. An effective Business Architecture helps business leaders look at complexity in different lenses and untangle it systematically in search of simpler concepts and methods, with enterprise totality in mind. It conducts organizational level briefing to create an abstraction and choose the most suitable and acceptable approach to making wise investments.

One of the real values of business architecture is about facilitating the changing needs of the business, navigating the business transformation journey step-wisely by highlighting changes with standardization, coherence, and visualization of business improvement initiatives. Business architecture as an effective communication tool enables business leaders to advise, monitor, deliberate, embrace diversified viewpoints, sustain a balance of science and art, analysis & intuition, individualism and teamwork, for riding the tide of digital transformation.

Architecture & innovation: The world becomes more dynamic, innovation is for renewal. It is equivalent to sustainability and resilience for an increasing number of hyper-connected enterprises and industries. Innovation has been misunderstood as mysterious or unmanageable sometimes, in fact, innovation is about how to manage creative/novel ideas to achieve business value. Business architecture as an innovation management tool helps to clarify: What is the purpose and scope of innovation? How to manage a balanced innovation portfolio with both incremental and breakthrough innovation by optimizing important success factors such as product performance, cost effectiveness, speed, business model suitability, etc.

Innovation really doesn't have to be on a product level, it can be on a platform level, in the value flow/value chain or in the ecosystem. Business Architecture can be used as a knowledge management tool to predict, handle uncertainty - reduction, avoidance, impact mitigation, and improve the effectiveness of a balanced innovation portfolio. It supports innovation by developing structural capital and ensures that the enterprise is always fit for the purpose of achieving its vision, mission, and strategy. It provides structure to enhance innovation management cycles systematically.

Innovation & governance:
Enterprise-architecture as a governance enabler helps business management gain an in-depth understanding of business risks and conducts. It can be used to raise visibility and awareness for many business issues that are captured at the different levels of the organization, to ensure the enterprise is running in the right direction and heading to the destination at the premium speed.

Consideration of current governance maturity - where you are today and how far/fast you might change, coupled with a good definition of roles/responsibilities wrapped around governance processes help business architecture to plug in and have impact on improving business effectiveness. There should be a governance mechanism embedded in all crucial business processes, governance practices to enforce accountability at every level of the organization. And there are varying governance activities such as delegation of authority, auditing, or strategy monitoring, etc, to improve organizational effectiveness and maturity.

Reimagining the future of business is exciting, but unlocking business performance needs to take a systematic approach and develop it into a more solid form. Effective business architecture helps to facilitate the varying business dialogues, planning, analyzing, and orchestrating of business change initiatives, opportunities, or marketing dilemmas, developing further architecture standards to become an instrument for leading changes cohesively.
