Business Architecture: Turning Strategy into Action

You will learn to use business capability models, value streams, and operating models to define how an organization delivers value.

Argo BA emphasizes practical application, enabling you to design capability-driven transformation plans, create alignment between business and IT, and ensure sustainable organizational change.
