1. UK LOCAL COMMUNITY
Purpose and Approach

2. UK local Community - Purpose
To build a greater understanding1, knowledge sharing2 and awareness3 around business architecture practice4, in order to support5 business architects6 living or working in UK7
Business Architecture Guild® has published BIZBOK® and other materials e.g. whitepapers, webinars
The BIZBOK® is why the Business Architecture Guild® created members, and so is the core knowledge base for the UK Community
Awareness in other professions and organisations is a key driver of widening acceptance of business architecture
This is a community of practitioners, not theorists
Business architects can be quite isolated, and Business Architecture Guild® provides support and inspiration
The target group is business architects, but that does not exclude other professionals from being involved
Covers business architects who live in UK and work in other countries, and those who live abroad and work in UK

3. Developing Local UK Community
Knowledge Sharing (Depth)
Gather topics which can be workshopped in meetings (one topic per meeting, need to clarify how topics are chosen e.g. host picks topic or consult members online)
Encourage participation in collaborative teams e.g. explain process for joining
Pick hot topics from BAGuild to help connect UK community with BAGuild Central e.g. discuss a webinar
Expand Visibility (Reach)
Support Business Architects (Length)
Leverage BAGuild website
Identify, engage and consult a ‘core’ group
Reach out to virtual members (in UK but not physically attending meetings)
Identify a reliable list of UK community members
Learning from events posted online
Encourage sharing of knowledge BUT beware that moderation of content needed
Build up a picture of challenges faced by business architects in UK
