HOBA® Training & certification for Business Transformators®
The secret to successful business transformation is not the framework (or methods you apply, although we think we have a pretty good one).
The secret is the skill of the Business Transformator® to apply it in two ways – Appropriately and Proportionately.
We made it easy for you to learn how. Attend a training, apply the knowledge, take the test and get HOBA® Certified.

Reminder...

70% of Transformations Fail
Challenged Projects
According to research the top 4 contributing factors into challenged projects (miss cost, time, and feature targets) are - lack of User input; incomplete requirements, changing requirements & lack of Executive support.
Impaired Projects
Research also found impaired projects (projects cancelled at some point or solution not used after implemented) cited - lack of User input, lack of Executive Management support, clear requirements and poor planning, yet still using old out date methods.
Problems with the Industry
Existing Frameworks
Existing methods are born out of Technology standards, which focus on Technology and ignore Business concerns.
Existing Systems
Existing systems are really business process or enterprise application (software) management tools (and not Business Architecture or Business Transformation at all).
Problem with Programme Management
Focus on delivery (not discovery)
Existing programme management methods are Technology-led (as opposed to Business-led), that focus on Technology and almost always miss the big picture & strategic concerns.
FOCUS ON DESIGN (Not Implementation)
Existing programme management approaches focus on the WHAT (the end looks like)? with little or no consideration for WHY? WHERE, WHEN or the HOW (the Business needs to change, where, when or how to change)?
Here's the Answer
You can’t improve a broken approach, and you cant solve the problem with the same thinking that got you into it. You need to throw it out and replace it. We have the answer…
