Workshops

Exploiting the repository of capability

When a potential sponsor sees a BIG presentation and imagines how BIG Components may alleviate pains and offer improvement opportunity, they may wish to learn more about it.

The Praxis and BIG CIC websites expose Business Integrated Governance Knowledge to the world. If however more depth is sought we can run a series of small workshops which cover the BIG theory and allow the sponsor and their colleagues to start to align their pains to the BIG model to envision potential gain.

Topics include Overview, Organisation, Governance, Accountability nodes, Management Teams, Commercial & Finance, Business Support, Information, Technology, Data, Adoption.

The workshops can be run as presentation, or as interactive discovery sessions.
