Business Architecture
Our business architecture courses are aligned with the BIZBOK® Guide (A Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge®), which we incorporate into a comprehensive view on the topic area. This is based on a conceptual framework that distinguishes between three chunks of business architecture content: business motivation, business model, and business execution. It was created by our founder Daniel during his Ph.D. work that he finished in 2013. With several publications and talks on business architecture, Daniel has been aiming to live up to the role of a pioneer and thought leader in the field for about ten years.
