Workshops for Business Analysts
Clariteq's workshops are popular worldwide because they're developed and taught by professionals with years of real-world project experience. No theoretical or academic ideas here about what might work – we cover what really works in our core two-day workshops:
- Workflow Process Modeling
- Data Modeling
- Requirements Modeling
Collectively, they provide an integrated set of techniques that can be used to specify requirements for even the largest project. Individually, each covers a specific topic – business goals and processes, application requirements, and the underlying data needs – with clear guidelines, tips, and practical methods that maximize the involvement of business subject matter experts. For those needing even higher levels of skill in data modeling, we offer the top-rated three-day workshop:
- Advanced Data Modeling
Thousands of people have attended Clariteq workshops, and recommend them enthusiastically because they're short, practical, fun, and best of all – the techniques actually work outside the classroom.
Consulting Services
Clariteq has helped organizations of all sizes – from 40 to 100,000 or more employees – improve their performance by clarifying goals and aligning effort, redesigning business process, and achieving more effective systems development or acquisition. Our particular strengths are facilitation, business process redesign, model-based requirements definition, application selection, and supporting the implementation and adoption of internally developed or purchased applications. We also help organizations gain a clear view of how their existing systems impact business capabilites.
Clients appreciate that we aren't the leading edge of an army of consultants – we always transfer skills to client staff, and often provide oversight when large consulting firms or vendors are involved.
