Public Sector Business & IT Executives, Program Managers, Business Transformation Directors, Business & IT Project Leaders, IT Architects, IT Analysts & Designers, Enterprise Architects and Enterprise Architect Program Managers, Policy & Planning Analysts, Program Review Analysts, Business Architects, Business Analysts, Business Designers, Business Solution Consultants, Business Transformation Analysts & Designers.
Learn How to:
Through lecture and participation in case study driven workshops participants will be able to:
a. Specify the use of business models to:
· Rapidly assess business risks and identify opportunities
· Plan and design business transformations
· Align IT architecture with business strategy
· Gain stakeholder consensus and commitment
b. Use the EBA roadmap to plan EBA project modeling activities
c. Use reference models in the design of public sector programs, services, and processes to:
· Improve efficiency through re-use: better, faster, cheaper
· Standardize
d. Use a business model to represent and improve design of:
· Program and services
· Value chains of public sector enterprises
· Business processes required to provide services
e. Charter an EBA initiative, including expected outcomes, deliverables, activities, and resource requirements
