Introduction to Business Architecture
Introduction
Business Architecture is defined as the formalised description of an organisation; its essential capabilities and how it uses them to realise its strategic intent and objectives. The purpose of Business Architecture is to define the future state business and operating model, develop a roadmap to get from the current to the desired future state, establish a plan to achieve the business value from the change, and manage the progress along the way to achieve desired business outcomes with pace, certainty and agility.
Course Description
This four-day course is an introduction to Business Architecture and covers the frameworks and tools needed for the discipline. It includes information on the Business Architect role as well as practical guidance on setting up and operationalising a Business Architecture function. The course is rounded off with a case study and numerous exercises to help delegates apply the theory they have learned and to show them how practically to do Business Architecture.
