For Practitioners - by Practitioners™

BACOE has had the privilege of assisting over 4,200 Organizations in "R.E.A.L." Business Architecture engagements. Over 150,000 Professionals are educated and trained using BACOE's approach to Business Architecture.

Whether you are new to the field, are motivated for enhanced Knowledge, or desire state-of-the-art qualifications, attending a Business Architecture Training and Certification Workshop from BACOE will provide many benefits to you, your Organization, and your Career.

We are Business Architect Practitioners that educate, and we use the education forum to get people to recognize what is happening in Business Architecture and show that education and certifications need to come through actual practice – the key to the concept of a Workshop rather than a seminar.


Bringing clarity to the technobabble and marketing madness that surrounds Business Architecture.

People who want to practice Business Architecture (BA) or learn about it are in a difficult spot; it has become more difficult than ever to separate Business Architecture facts from beliefs, experiences from opinions, and sound practices from declarations.

The field appears so irregular because academia, publications, consultants, and the internet, present Business Architecture in disparate voices advancing a multitude of approaches, meanings, and sets of expectations—some based on internet writings, some based on conjecture, and some based on opinion, and yes, some based on sound Business Architecture practice.  

How do you sort things out with blogs, forums, dozens of Business Architecture organizations of various types, and the internet itself?

1) The essential first question is, "Does what I am hearing or seeing make sense?"

  • We try to relate physical analogies to what we hear about Business Architecture to provide a frame of reference.

  • We suggest if something does not make sense in the physical world, it probably is not valid in the Business or Business Architecture world.

  • Sometimes instead of logic, we believe what we want to hear, and that is called "confirmation bias."

2) Another good question is, "Is this statement I have just read just a bunch of words?"

  • Nothing is true just because it is stated frequently. And we recognize that the internet does not have “best practices” – it only has “published practices”!

3) The third question is, "Who is saying this, and what is their background?"

  • Has someone who says something about Business Architecture (whatever the definition) verifiably ever done Business Architecture?

Below are fact-based descriptions of Business Architecture grounded in logic, sound practices, and principles based on decades of field engagements and experience.

Already have training or “certification” in Business Architecture?

A growing number of BACOE Business Architecture Workshop attendees already have Business Architecture training or “certification” prior to attending. We have seen a pattern of 26 “items” noted by these attendees as “gaps” or “needs” that were recognized after these attendees received their “other” certification and training and have been addressed at BACOE.

WATCH: Have a base of understanding in Business Architecture? What is next?


For those of you that have already Business Architecture certification, and would like to “test” what you received in your certification, are questioning the readiness to actually develop Business Architectures, or now perceive gaps in understanding that may need to be addressed, this questionnaire can guide you in supplementing your existing knowledge. Does your certification pass our test?
