What the heck is going on with wikipedia? (ok I know, it was a rhetorical question) The defintion of Business Architecture changes all the time. It went from a defintion that was pretty consistent with what many in the industry think, to a bunch of stuff you would expect from IT Architects or IT guys in the Enterprise Architecture space. As long as Business Architecture is seen and explained through the lense of technology, it will struggle to succeed.
To further complicate the issue, software vendors like IBM are trying to fit a defintion that fits into their tool suite. I was in a presentation with some IBM folks and what I saw as the words Business Architecture used over and over again as the IBM guy was showing network diagrams, data models and UML models and calling them business architecture diagrams/blueprints. Needless to say, I almost choked.
