ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Business Architecture offers many advantages and strong value for Learning Professionals; the practices and outcomes enabled with business architecture provide Learning Professionals with unique insights into the requirements, strengths, and needs of organizations and individuals. Business modeling sets the foundation for understanding, strategy mapping further articulates organizational intent, and capabilities mapping illuminates the path for Learning Professionals to design and deliver the programs that will advance the organization. In this session, we’ll touch on key fundamentals of business architecture and focus on the specific roadmapping value delivered via understanding the capabilities of the organization.
