BIAN implementation Journey: BIAN Adoption & Change eLearning
Module 03: What is the BIAN journey for organizations
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 lesson:
- BIAN Aware: Banks recognize BIAN as a reference architecture, explore its benefits, and begin developing a business case (research phase).
- BIAN Active: Banks commit to BIAN, map their service landscape, and conduct proof-of-value projects with service domains and APIs.
- BIAN Committed: Banks scale BIAN across business lines, deeply integrate it into operations, and align business, technology, and data with BIAN standards.

Lesson video: What is the BIAN implementation journey for organizations

1. BIAN Aware
Banks in this stage recognize BIAN as an industry reference architecture.
They start developing a business case and exploring how it can be applied.
Engagement begins with BIAN forums and other banks to understand its benefits.
This phase is primarily research-driven, where banks gather knowledge but haven’t yet committed to implementation.

2. BIAN Active
Banks move beyond awareness and commit to working with BIAN.
They develop their own service landscape, mapping it to the reference architecture.
The stage involves conducting proof-of-value projects using service domains and APIs.
Many organizations find themselves in this phase, actively experimenting and validating the framework.

3. BIAN Committed
Banks scale BIAN adoption across different lines of business.
They begin to embed BIAN deeply into operations and ways of working.
A key focus is on aligning business, technology, and data artifacts with BIAN standards.
At this stage, BIAN becomes a core part of the bank’s enterprise architecture strategy.

Transition Challenges (”Humps”)
There are two humps or transition points in this journey:
• From Aware to Active: Moving from exploration to actual implementation.
• From Active to Committed: Scaling BIAN adoption across the entire organization.
The journey is not strictly linear, and banks may take different paths based on their specific needs and strategies. However, this three-stage framework provides a structured way to think about adoption and maturity.
