Programs

The Business Architects Association® has several important programs underway and in progress:

Certification and Education Program

The Certified Business Architect (CBA)® certificate is the BAA™’s professional certification for Business Architects.  It sets the definition of a Business Architect as: “One who has received their CBA™,” and provides employers and prospective clients with a clear, reliable and objective evaluation of the skills of a professional Business Architect.   The CBA™ is conferred to those who pass the CBA Exam™.  Completion of a BAA™-accredited Business Architecture program is a prerequisite for certification.

The BAA™ is currently working on its more advanced Master Business Architect (MBARCH)™ Program, which will be the highest designation of competency for Business Architects, recommended for those who lead Business Architecture Groups in corporations. The BAA™ will also launch its CBA Updates™ Continuing Education Program. It is designed to keep its members’ knowledge current, while placing the least possible burden on their time.

Membership Program

The BAA™ maintains a membership program designed for professionals who wish to support and become involved in BAA™ activities.

The BAA™ is a volunteer nonprofit professional organization. Money donated goes directly to research, supporting the activities of the organization and furthering the profession. No one involved in the BAA™ is paid, we rely on the kind donations of time from our dedicated members.

Knowledge Sharing Program

The BAA™ offers numerous channels for Business Architecture professionals to meet, get to know one another and help each other to advance their knowledge and careers.

Research and Publication Program

The BAA™’s research and publication is conducted through a separate entity, the Business Architects Association Institute™ (BAA Institute™).  The BAA Institute™ is the “keeper of the content,” including its Body of Knowledge and suggested course curriculums.  ( www.baainstitute.com )

Corporate Sponsorship Program

The BAA™ welcomes the active participation of corporations in crafting the future of the Business Architect's profession, since they will be the primary beneficiaries of this work. The BAA™ Corporate Sponsorship Program includes financial support for current activities and a voice in setting the direction of the profession.
