Data architecture is discussed in a limited way with a commercial perspective in terms of its relevance to business architecture.

Practical hands-on syndicate work is used to develop a target operating model based on a case study using experience gained from the earlier parts of the course, the attendees themselves assisted by the course leader .
The role of the business architect is discussed and aspects of developing traction with both technical and business people is explored using a “pitch” role-playing exercise to understand how to present the benefits and handle objections to Business Architecture and reach a satisfactory conclusion resulting in a healthy balance between value for money and the application of structured design.
