Following our successful pilot during October 2020, we can now confirm the launch of the full Masterclass programme. This is scheduled for February-June 2021 and runs over 15 weeks. It aims to be the premier Business Architecture training offering available worldwide. It will be limited to a maximum of 24 delegates to ensure an engaging and transformative experience.

The programme leverages Inspired’s 30 year track record in the enterprise architecture, business and IT strategy, and business architecture disciplines. It offers thought leadership in the integration of business strategy, business architecture, downstream IT architecture domains (process, applications, information, technology), programme management, risk and change management.

The Most Comprehensive Content

To impart the broadest skill set and competence.

Approaches such as TOGAF™ (The Open Group), Zachman, BizBoK (Business Architecture Guild), Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder & Pigneur), Enterprise Engineering (Dietz et al), Archimate™ (Open Group) and others all address some aspects of Business Architecture. Several have grown from the IT discipline to incorporate techniques to understand the business enough to inform IT. However, they do not provide guidance sufficient to understand the context in which business is taking place and to design a Desirable Future for the business.

With all the change drivers in today’s world, including technology change, societal change, legislative change, political uncertainty, economic issues, climate change and a host of others (e.g pandemics), understanding external change and how to rapidly and surely transform the organisation to a desirable future is a vital need. You need an approach that recognises the challenges, understands and manages the many dimensions and complexity, and guides sound decisions that are clearly transferred into delivery.
