In-House Training

Executive Briefings

We offer management-level briefings about the business rule approach - from one hour up to a full day, depending on your needs. This session allows your management to understand the central issues from a business perspective, and to brainstorm the potential opportunities and risks of the approach for your organization. The session may be tailored to specific areas of management interest. Very effective as a means to kick-start your initiative.

Introduction to the Business Rule Approach
(1 day)

This session introduces the concepts and techniques of the business rule approach, and discusses the related issues of methodology, tools and rule management. With its open-ended format, the session will answer your staff's questions and concerns about what the approach means and how it works in practice. The session may be tailored to your specific training needs. Very effective as a means to bring participants with diverse backgrounds on-board.

Learning by Doing

This is one of our most popular service offerings. Instead of pure lecture and class exercises, we team with your staff to conduct "live" demonstration project work. Using a select subset of the business area, BRS shows how requirements and rules are gathered in a facilitated session. Short tutorial sessions are embedded at strategic points to ensure participants understand the relevant tasks and techniques. Our goal in this hands-on approach is to enable your staff to effectively initiate and conduct the project work immediately after the sessions.
