Why Business Design and Architecture?

Business Architecture is one of the key layers within Enterprise Architecture and is closely associated with business information which is ultimately used to describe the product and/or service strategy, and the organisational, functional, process, information, and geographic aspects of the business environment.

Business Architecture is represented as a range of models with the Business Capability model forming the foundation for a capability-based planning approach to business improvement or redesign.

Description

This 4-day course interweaves elements of theory, practice and evaluation for Business Architecture which are then applied to a case study through a series of methods and techniques. It is a staged approach, in how to develop a Business Architecture and use this to derive useful business insights. The insights are used to form advice and recommendations to influence strategic perspectives and decision making.

Course Outcome

At the end of this course, you will know how to develop and use a Business Architecture to represent and mobilise critical knowledge about your business; current and future.

Training Material

Delegates will receive a training file containing summarised Business Design and Architecture training material in PowerPoint format. Supplementary material is provided on a USB, containing a soft copy of all the training material and other useful products..

Assessment

In-class assessment. While there is no formal certification, the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) professionally recognises this course for their members with 30 PD hours or CDUs.

"This course is suitable for business and IT people. I would like to thank Craig Martin, Marius Snel and the Knotion Consulting team for accommodating us in their Business Design and Architecture Training. The amount of value I received from the training is mindblowing considering that it was only delivered in four days. The experience and practically used to deliver the content of the training was nothing short of outstanding! I look forward to continuing our engagement on Business Design and Architecture."
