Improve business strategy planning and execution with Business Architect Guild Accredited Training for your employees.

Business Architecture training with topics tailored to what your organization needs.

IPD is set up to deliver an in-person training experience if you are located in the Twin Cities Metro Area, or we can deliver training virtually if you have people working at multiple locations.

While our training aligns with the Business Architecture Guild®, we provide practical real-life application of the theories based on the experience of our instructors who are practicing business architects with experience across industries, such as finance, supply chain, retail, insurance, government, and medical device manufacturing with companies such as Cargill, Target, Medtronic, Wells Fargo, Prudential, Ameriprise Financial, Cummins, and Be the Match.

With the disruptions in how our customers experience our organizations, now more than ever, we need business architecture to frame our value and provide a streamlined, satisfactory user experience. Maybe you keep putting off training because there just isn’t time. However, in today’s fast-paced customer-focused environment, the only way to pivot and change on user experience is to make sure your architecture at the enterprise level is solid. The more solid your architectural framework, the easier it is to flex your business with both internal and external forces.

Get your business architects, business line leaders, business analysts, and project managers all pulling in the same direction using tools such as business capability modeling, value streams, or capability mapping. Or customize the certificate to include customer experience through empathy maps and Human-Centered Design to create a truly customer-focused value.
