SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Business Architecture Guild^®, an international community of business architecture practitioners, announced today the release of Business Architecture: A Journey of Acceptance, a new case study that reveals how VSP Vision overcame internal barriers to advance the adoption of business architecture and execute a unified strategy with leadership buy-in and organizational alignment.

Business architecture is the crucial link between strategy and execution.  While the benefits are proven, not every business is familiar with the discipline and may resist change. Now available in the Business Architecture Guild Learning Center^® this latest case study includes the challenges VSP’s business architecture team encountered in their journey along with the best practices employed to overcome those challenges and gain executive support.  

According to Gary Wright, Senior Manager and Business Architect, VSP Vision, “Today business architecture is integral to delivering VSP’s mission with a unified strategy, purposeful innovation, and sustainable impact. While our journey took time, we overcame internal resistance by stepping away from the artifacts, thinking like our stakeholders and communicating value in business terms. As a result, we gained organizational acceptance and executive support for business architecture as a strategy and practice.”

VSP Vision also contributed a one-page User Success Story to the Learning Center, which is frequently updated with fresh content, case studies, whitepapers and more. The one-page success stories are ideal for passing on to business leaders who may not have the time to review an entire case study.
