TOGAF® centric way at looking the world
This four-day course brings to life the lead selling book on Business Architecture "Business Architecture: A Practical Guide" and the tools and techniques from the Open Group's TOGAF® framework in an informative, energetic and pragmatic way. Through the cumulative experience of our trainers and business colleagues we bring a fresh perspective to the ideas of architecture and specifically enterprise architecture. It doesn't try to reinvent the idea of business architecture or introduce new notations but instead it takes tried and tested methods, techniques, tools and the wealth of experience from practitioners from many fields and presents this myriad of information in an informative and practical way.
