 Abstract. Business Architecture is a growing and evolving discipline
 focused on applying architectural rigor and techniques to business chal-
 lenges such as strategic execution, digital transformation, value delivery
 and modeling, capability-based planning, and many other business sce-
 narios, and then providing a link to the IT systems and ecosystems that
 implement them. The BIZBOK® – A Guide to the Business Architec-
 ture Body of Knowledge is produced by the Business Architecture Guild,
 an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the
 profession and practice of business architecture. This presentation will in-
 troduce the Business Architecture Guild, describe the essence and scope
 of the BIZBOK® Guide, the shared perspective of the business archi-
 tecture framework, and many different content offerings of the Guild.
 Details will be provided about the overall content of the BIZBOK®
 Guide, calling out Value Modeling approaches, metamodels and tooling
 in particular, and then discuss the evolution of the Industry Reference
 Models as an ongoing development effort, finishing with a discussion
 of other Guild program offerings, especially the Academic Program, to
 discuss collaboration opportunities with the Guild in terms of research,
 development and teaching.
