25. Regulations and Business Architecture
Miles Barker– Credit Suisse
IIBA UK Chapter
October 18th, 2012
26. Talking Points
Who regulation impacts – far more than banking!
What Regulation impacts – across organisational boundaries
Understanding Regulation 1 – it’s always business process
Diversion Understanding Regulation 2 – BA skills and PESTLE
Regulation – understanding themes and change
Regulation – opportunity from pain (process and service)
A case for doing what you really know you should, anyway!
Challenging your understanding of business
