Why you should attend this workshop
In todayโs age of digital disruption, Organisations of every size realise they need to change, and embark on their digital transformation but despite best intentions and methods, 70% of transformation programmes fail.
This results in wasted time, wasted money, and missed opportunities, with the 4 biggest causes of programme failure:
- Changing requirements,
- Incomplete requirements,
- Lack of Business User engagement and Buy-in, and
- Poor Planning.
- ย
HOBAยฎ – the House of Business Architectureยฎ framework is the answer. HOBAยฎ provides 4 frameworks in one โ a process framework, a perspectives framework, a context framework, and a content framework, and all aligned with industry best practices, addresses the 4 main causes of transformation failure, and most importantly, puts the control back into the Businessโ hands.
"This two-day course will prepare you to lead an enterprise agile business transformation by leveraging the House of Business Architectureยฎ (HOBAยฎ) framework".
