BIAN implementation Journey: BIAN Adoption & Change eLearning
Module 04: What do you need to apply BIAN (POC)?
Who is this course for
This BIAN Awarness and Change Agent course is intended for professionals who work in banks and that aspire to help their banks become more Agile by leveraging the Banking Industry Architecture Networks (BIAN).
This eLearning course will provide guidance on how BIAN can be applied. It’s less about the BIAN architecture or management approach, and more about how you can adopt or apply it within an organization, and what teams, structure and professionals you can best leverage.
What to expect
This eLearning course is a set of lessons that will help you to manage insights on BIAN, such as its benefits, and how to implement it and adopt it. Where to start, and how best to demonstrate success. What pitfalls can be expected and how to best overcome these.
In this BIAN implementation journey module:
- Evaluating Complexity and Scope
Choose a project that has the right level of complexity—avoid overly simple or too complex initiatives. The goal is to find a balance that allows BIAN to deliver value without overwhelming the team or missing opportunities to demonstrate benefits. - Assessing Readiness and Alignment
Ensure your organization is ready for BIAN adoption by confirming that you have the necessary alignment, resources, and backing. This includes having the right people, funding, and executive support in place to drive the initiative forward smoothly.

1. Aligning with Organizational Strategy and Priorities
Before applying BIAN (Banking Industry Architecture Network), it’s important to understand your organization’s existing strategy and priorities. BIAN doesn’t come in and dictate changes to your priorities. Instead, it works with what’s already on your agenda. Your organization likely has a prioritized backlog of initiatives based on industry standards or internal best practices. The goal is to figure out where BIAN fits within your existing framework to help you succeed, rather than forcing a shift in direction.
2. Evaluating Complexity and Scope
One of the most crucial aspects of implementing BIAN is determining the complexity of the initiative you’re tackling. It’s important not to choose a project that is too complex, as that could lead to potential challenges that might overshadow the value BIAN could provide. On the other hand, opting for something too simple might not allow BIAN to demonstrate its full potential. The key is to find the right balance—something that offers enough complexity to showcase tangible benefits, but isn’t too overwhelming to execute within a reasonable timeframe.
3. Assessing Readiness and Alignment
Assess the readiness of your organization before jumping into a BIAN implementation. This includes making sure you have the necessary backing in terms of people, resources, and funding. If your team or leadership isn’t fully aligned or ready, trying to implement a BIAN solution could be premature. Ideally, you want to work towards areas where alignment is already in place, as that increases your chances of success. A strong foundation of readiness can help ensure smooth adoption and delivery.
4. Stakeholder Sponsorship and Executive Support
For BIAN to be successfully adopted, it requires strong support from key stakeholders, especially at the executive level. Without executive buy-in, your initiative could struggle to gain traction. While you may start small with a side project, at some point, the broader organization’s will and sponsorship will be necessary to drive forward the change. Ensuring that you have high-level support is a crucial dimension in selecting which initiative to pursue as a proof of concept.
5. Setting Realistic Expectations for Duration and ROI
Lastly, it’s essential to ensure that your BIAN proof of concept (POC) has realistic expectations for duration and return on investment (ROI). A good rule of thumb is to aim for a quick win. The sweet spot is typically around 12 weeks—enough time to deliver meaningful results without overextending resources. Focusing on achieving tangible outcomes within this time frame ensures that you can showcase the benefits of BIAN early and demonstrate value to your organization.
