Techniques for Explicit Business Knowledge Engineering
Presented by: Ronald G. Ross
Many of us think all our work is ultimately just about requirements for IT system design. It’s not. Do you have the vision to go beyond that view? If so, you need to start thinking about the larger set of audiences for operational business knowledge. What uses does that knowledge have? How do you develop and organize it for scaled-up re-use? What can it do for you?
This advanced tutorial discusses three pragmatic techniques to develop and exploit explicit operational business knowledge effectively:
- Structured business vocabulary (concept models). Learn the structural techniques needed to build a robust business glossary and operational knowledge blueprint.
- Decision engineering. Look at operational business decisions from a business point of view, analyze their inherent structure, and capture the business logic needed to support them.
- Operational knowledge dependency chain. Take an enterprise view of explicit operational knowledge, understand its natural dependencies, and use it for strategic assessment.
You’ll walk away from this advanced tutorial with new insights about how your company can operate more effectively in the digital economy. It’s guaranteed to change the way you think about requirements!
- Create a blueprint to bring down the Tower of Babel and enable real BusinessSpeak
- Bring new vigor to business processes by organizing their operational knowledge independently
- Learn about an innovative, knowledge-based approach for strategic assessment of application and project portfolios
