Dr Yin Leng Tan, Associate Professor of Digital Futures, Programme Area Director of Digital Business Masters Programmes, Henley Business School, University of Reading

Whether you've got the title of business architect or not, I've no doubt this will become the go-to book for many practitioners out there. From those who are practicing business architecture day-in, day-out, to those who probably wouldn't even label what they do as business architecture. What I like most, is that it blends theory and techniques with real-world pragmatism - including practical advice on how to overcome specific impediments as well as examples of business architecture 'in-the-wild' through the numerous case studies. Kudos to the authors, I'd highly recommend it!
Jamie Toyne, Founder & CEO of Herd Consulting

In addition to providing clear and comprehensive coverage of Business Architecture, this book has also succeeded in positioning it in the context of such disciplines as Business Analysis and Service Design. This is not surprising, given the breadth and depth of experience of the authors.
