What differentiates my courses? Unique organisational expertise and instructors.

I have been engaged in delivering Enterprise Architecture (EA) work as a consultant and practitioners since 1989.

I have developed unique EA capabilities, techniques and expertise in integrating the TOGAF® standard with other methods, including Archimate®, and produced integrated meta models to provide TOGAF® and Archimate® capabilities within EA toolsets.

I understand EA in depth, having been involved in scores of projects locally and internationally across a wide range of industries including finance, assurance, retail, telecommunications, services, healthcare, government, education, manufacturing, software, energy and media.

I have developed TOGAF® accredited training, licensed as a TOGAF® services provider, and have created certified support in EA tools.
