2-Day Introductory Workshop. An Enterprise Architecture is a dynamic and powerful tool that helps organisations understand their own structure and the way they work. It provides a “map” of the enterprise and a “route planner” for business and technology change - a valuable asset in the current business and economic environment.

2-Day Advanced Workshop. This is new workshop developed to lead on from the highly successful Enterprise and Service Oriented Architecture Workshops run over the past few years by the NCC. These have been unique in their hands-on approach with participants learning the techniques and experiencing the thought processes in the workshop using their own computers. Also, and perhaps even more uniquely, we use common, everyday tools, such as Microsoft Office, to build and analyse the Enterprise Architecture.
