Vortrag: VIG Business Architecture Journey – setting up the BA practice as a framework for aligned Business and IT Landscapes, strengthened planning and execution of strategic transformations.
Roumen Ivanov, MBA, CMC, CBA – Certified Management Consultant and Certified Business Architect with proven track records in planning, design, and delivery of large-scale and cross-organizational digital transformation programs for several leading CEE high-tech and financial groups. Since September 2023, as an Enterprise Business Architect with VIG IT Digital Solutions, is responsible for setting up and roll-out of Business Architecture Practice across Vienna Insurance Group.
The Business Architecture (BA) Practice in VIG is relatively new – successfully introduced in 2023 on a VIG Holding level with “Bebauungsplan”, its scope was further extended in 2024 toward the VIG subsidiaries with extensive internal BA trainings, setting up of reference framework and roll-out methodology, planning and execution of pilot projects with several innovative VIG companies. A stepwise approach was agreed and followed – first to start with establishing the baseline of AS-IS Business Architecture and mapping it with AS-IS IT Architecture, and then further enhance the scope with planning of strategic business and IT transformations and design of Target Business and IT Landscapes. Building up of the VIG BA community and common BA knowledge repository to enable the intragroup collaboration and sharing best practices between VIG companies are accomplishing this BA journey.
