Business Architecture Foundations

Every business has architecture. You are either in the driver’s seat defining business’s structure and roadmap to success (i.e. Business Architecture) or at the mercy of the ad-hoc architecture that you have stumbled into over the past 10-15 years.

In Business Architecture Foundations training course, a solid foundation of terminology, methods, techniques, and artifacts will be established to equip the team in understanding what Business Architecture is and how to establish a Business Architecture practice within the organization.

By attending Business Architecture Foundations workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Define Business Architecture
  • Understand the value of Business Architecture

  • Gain hands-on experience creating Business Architecture views and key artifacts
