Half-day online workshops each month facilitated by program contributors

The end-to-end program experience exposes participants to a wide range of methods and tools, examples of functioning enterprise architecture practices from other institutions, and progressively explores case studies throughout the curriculum as a device to engage participants in a realistic architectural engagement.
