Programme Director
Five day course. It is designed for business analysts,
enterprise architects and strategists who are actively
involved in modeling, analysing and shaping the future of
businesses and their strategic use of Information and
Communication Technologies. Skills focused, rather than
methodology focused, this course will expose you to
leading techniques and ways of presenting models and
results of analyses.
This course draws on 25+ years experience in business
and academia as well as industry best practice to deliver
a valuable set of tools to equip business architects.
Drawing on strategic planning, enterprise architectures,
design concepts, organisation design, learning
organisations, empirical enterprise architecture research
and other disciplines, this course provides a set of
techniques to assist the business architect in
understanding the context, challenges, opportunities, risk
and strategic options of an enterprise and fashioning a
coherent architecture and plan to realise the
organisation's vision.

Intended Outcomes
What Will This Course Help You to Do?
1. Perform the analyses, design and decision making activities.
2. Analyse alternatives, considering all options including:
Context analysis, Stakeholder analysis and Value chain/network analysis;
Process architecture;
Product and service architecture;
Operating models;
Service design;
Information design at the conceptual level, taking full advantage of current and emerging
technologies, innovation, systems thinking and design thinking;
Understanding shifts in how society and business are leveraging technology to produce new
and disruptive business models.
3. Seeing the big picture, with an organisation in its social, societal, industry, geographic, legal
and competitive context. Integrating the dimensions of strategy, business, information

4. More than just teaching an approach or method to Business Architecture, it is a deep dive into
techniques and deliverables. You get a toolkit which as a Business Architect, you can use to devise
an appropriate approach to your situation and requirements in a given industry and context.
It teaches you how to …
understand stakeholders and your interaction with them;
understand value chains and networks;
understand the product and service offerings, their lifecycle, their strategic advantages and
weaknesses;

TARGET
AUDIENCE
[ Intermediate - Advanced
Level ]
1. Designed for senior
business analysts, enterprise
architects, strategists,
business architects and senior
line management who are, or
who will become, actively
involved in modelling,
analysing and shaping the
future of businesses and their
strategic use of ICT.
2. Also includes innovation-
focused business leaders,
change managers and
potentially, programme and
portfolio managers.
No absolute prerequisites to

cope but will need to work
hard.
METHODOLOGY
Rich use of examples and
selected short videos will be
used to stimulate thinking
beyond the norm. You will be
connected to sources of
information for ongoing
enrichment. Case study work
in small teams will allow
candidates to
perform analysis and come up
with architectures and
strategies.
Teams will compete and learn
from each other before
experiencing another facet of
the challenge.
This course stresses holistic
consideration and the interplay
of many facets that affect the
outcome of an architecture.

As distinct from TOGAF®
or others
I've done TOGAF® and been in EA practice for 5 - 6 years now. How
will this course help me?
The Business Architecture course is more in depth than TOGAF®
, specifically in terms of
techniques. TOGAF®
typically teaches the what but does not go into the how. TOGAF®
gives you
a road map but Techniques and Deliverables of Business Architecture teaches you how to drive.
Unlike the TOGAF®
course, here you will learn:
the various techniques and deliverables that a business architect uses to fully understand the
context in which a business operates, the value chains in which it participates and how it
engages with the world and how it is structured internally;
elements that TOGAF®
does not cover such as product and service positioning as well as
architecture. Also, operating models and how the business strategy and IT are aligned to
support it;
you have elements of digital disruption and how you can exploit this to your advantage;
there are also more topics that are business-related including :
o Operating Model, Product and Services;
o Competition, Design Thinking and Innovation;
o Digital Disruption and concepts such as Second Machine Age, Blue Ocean Strategy
and many traditional techniques like Porter, CSFs and Ansoff.
In short, a typical TOGAF®
course might spend half to a full day on Business Architecture. Here,
you will spend four and a half days on it - it is intense.
Why focus on Business Architecture? How is this more relevant than
other EA courses?
Architecture is increasingly seen as the structured way in which businesses can address
transformation enabled by technology. Business Architecture, as we teach it, takes into account
the context of the organisation (society, legal, business and competition, technology, politics, etc)
so that the strategy devised is not inward looking but competent to drive the organisation in the
real world. We look at the holistic picture of the organisation in its context and how it is
structured to take advantage of its capabilities including expertise, resources, products, services,
human resources, alliances etc. We ensure that business and IT are highly aligned and
complementary in addressing the necessary changes and articulating them properly into the
programme and project environment. In short, we are designing a desirable future for the
business, not just IT.
