“A global credential for future-ready innovators and transformation leaders.”

The Certified Business Design Architect (Certified BDA) credential represents more than just professional learning — it is a recognition of your ability to think critically, innovate strategically, and apply design-led approaches to real-world challenges. As a Certified BDA, you showcase not only your knowledge but also your competence in translating complex problems into actionable solutions that create impact for organizations and society.

What makes the Certified BDA program distinctive is its Certification Domains. Instead of limiting the credential to one field, the BDI Institute has structured the program to be awarded across diversified domains of expertise. This ensures that professionals can earn a Certified Business Design Architect credential aligned with their chosen specialization while still carrying the strength and recognition of a unified global certification.

Currently, the Certified BDA program is offered in four critical domains of future-ready capabilities:

1. BDA – Design Thinking (Certified Business Design Architect in Design Thinking)
2. BDA – Disruptive Innovation (Certified Business Design Architect in Disruptive Innovation)
3. BDA – Dynamic Strategy (Certified Business Design Architect in Dynamic Strategy)
4. BDA – Digital Transformation (Certified Business Design Architect in Digital Transformation)
    

With this approach, our certification creates a flexible yet robust pathway for professionals, enabling them to build credibility in their specialized field while being part of a broader community of innovators, strategists, and transformation leaders.
