About this Course

Faced with the challenge of addressing digital transformation and the need for companies to remain competitive, CIO’s, Chief Enterprise Architects and Strategists are presented with the need for IT and Architecture teams to keep abreast of priorities and to deliver viable solutions that address complex business transformation and emerging technology challenges.

To address these challenges, many companies chasing already tight deadlines or lacking the experience and skills in-house, react by calling on specialist consultancies who are tasked with the business critical task of business/ digital transformation.

If properly defined and executed, consultants will deliver. There is however the danger that once the project is completed and the consultant has left the building their outputs are shelved and no knowledge or skills have been transferred to the business, creating a reactive culture dependant on where 3rd party intervention. Our Architecture skill and competency coaching program is a project based ‘on the job’ architecture transformation training initiative.

Led by a Chief Architect the program provides architecture training while delivering tangible outputs to address a specific business challenge. The program is to designed to improve the effectiveness of the architecture function and is focused on developing the skills and competencies of the architecture team.

The program takes up to 10 participants through a process of delivering desired Architecture outputs and provides the necessary template and artefacts should they not already be available in the business. This coaching program is an effective means of addressing complex business transformation and emerging technology challenges in-house while equipping the team to resolve future challenges.
