“A great class that explains the importance of business rules in today’s work place.”
Christopher – McKesson
“I found the course interesting and will be helpful.
I like the pragmatic reality you discuss, while a rule tool would be great, recognizing many people will use Word/Excel to capture them helps. We can’t jump from crazy to perfect in one leap!
Use of the polls is also great. Helps see how everyone else is doing (we are not alone), and helps us think about our current state.”
Trevor – Investors Group
“Your work has been one of the foundations of my success in our shared passion for data integration. It has had a huge impact on innumerable people!”
Rand Losey – Knowledge Engineers Limited, LLP
“We actively use the BRS business-side techniques and train our business analysts in the approach. The techniques bring clarity between our BAs & customers, plus more robust requirements for our development teams. We’ve seen tremendous value.”
Jeanine Bradley – Railinc
“You did a wonderful job!! The material was organized and valuable.”
Janell – Texas State University
“Instructors were very knowledgeable and could clearly explain concepts and convey importance of strategy and architecture.
It was a more comprehensive, holistic approach to the subject than other training. Emphasis on understanding the business prior to technology considerations was reassuring to business stakeholders.”
Bernard – Government of Canada
“Sessions flow together well and build upon the concepts for the series which makes the learning easy and better retention.
The instructor is knowledgeable and very attentive to the audience given the range of attendees skill and knowledge of the subject at hand. I enjoy her training sessions.”
Deborah – American Family Insurance

Ron,
I am not sure if your response answers the question – why business architecture? Every business has an architecture. However, for an organization to function optimally, the key elements of the architecture must be in sync. Best results come from aligning Organization, Business Process, Applications/Systems, Data Architecture. This is seldom done because it is a significant task and requires one to think deeply about the core operations of the business. Changes are typically made piecemeal, which results in the inefficiencies that we see in even large, well known and supposedly well run companies.

Sukumar, Yes, every business has an architecture, but most are simply by default. I mean one deliberately designed.
