The Archist Difference

"I thoroughly enjoyed learning the foundation of Business Architecture through this course. The mentor of the course "Navid Kheradmand"  made it really easy to comprehend the fundamentals of how a business architecture is created and what it entails. Case guide and the examples in different sections clearly helped to picture how the concepts are put to use. I am glad I have taken this course that has set me up for my next steps in the journey. Thank you Archist and Navid!"
