Course Overview
Although architects are asked to create value for their employers, very few have ever been formally taught how to make that happen. They end up learning primarily through trial and error, creating risk for themselves and the employer.
Architects need to have the skills and knowledge to demonstrate both the value of architecture and technology the moment they begin work and continuously throughout the lifecycle of the program.
Business Technology Strategy (BTS) is designed to give you and your team all of the tools you need to lift architecture from a ‘documentation’ process to a true business capability. By the end of this module, participants will have the knowledge and ability to align knowledge and communication across primary business units, establish business models and views that cultivate technological value, automate and integrate key business processes and exceed business targets using technology strategy.

- Analyse business structures and segments.
