BEN: Business Engineering
This course aims to skill the Business Engineer not only to understand, but to be able to fully model and specify systems at the business architecture level. The focus is on the technical aspects of business architecture.
The business engineer is a new profession, introduced by Infomet, to address the inadequate and deficient approaches used by business analysts for formally specifying the business architecture in a manner that correctly represents the business requirements on the one hand, but also provides a set of engineering specifications that conforms to system engineering requirements on the other. A task, which when performed by technical staff, typically lead to a technically biased approach which ignored important business considerations.
The task of the business engineer is to co-operate closely with executive and middle management in order to ensure that:
  • the requirements are translated into an architecture that correctly reflects business requirements
  • the approach is practical and executable within the business parameters
  • the desired architectural features is not compromised for short sighted short term benefits only.

Topics covered are strategy factor analysis, strategy management, modeling and specifying all of the dimensions of a system up to the full logical level. Situation analysis, impact analysis and tactical planning derived from the logical specifications. Business Process Re-engineering
