Architecture Business Processes and Information Science

 Information Architecture Overview

Intellect without education is like silver in a mine.

Everyone is limited by their own frame of mind. This is part of our humanity. We humans need impulses that are just outside our own frame of reference. By actively benefiting from these inputs we can develop ourselves!


Information architecture and our vision on training.

As ABIO training, we have a pronounced opinion concerning the transfer of knowledge in our field. Information architecture is our core business; this is a broad field, followed closely by various types of professionals. It is also a field for which people develop an interest because they come into contact with the ideas. In our training, we want to accommodate all those different needs as well as possible. Please refer to the separate section for our vision on information architectures.
For this reason, our courses have been subdivided into three different levels being Appreciation, Models and Master class.

We also feel that gaining and storing knowledge and experience becomes much easier, more interesting and a lot more fun if there is a practical purpose involved. For this reason, the connection to the workplace can be found in all of our courses.

People learn in different ways and with varying learning strategies. Our use of multiple teaching styles thus creates a more fluent transfer of knowledge. For this reason we offer two versions of the appreciation course. One is to study at ones own pace, the other a two-day interactive course. The modeling course encompasses a combination of theory and an approach that allows one to compare various architectures as applied in practice / could be referred to as 'watch and learn'. The master class follows the entire trajectory and allows the participants to work with the theory offered in the course in thir own business. This workshop-like method provides a 'quick scan' for the organization as well!

The majority of the lessons is taught by two teachers at once. This is an investment from our side with high profit: the commitment of this team gives you more accurate answers that are more tailored to your needs. This provides more personal attention to your specific interests.

Finally, we think that the contents of an ICT course should be challenging. We therefore ask of you to be positive and eager to learn. This will also improve your appreciation your own performance. Fun, sensible and challenging is our motto.

Information architectures need commitment of the organizations they are made for. As a result the information architect needs to be a person who not only has skills on the consultancy level but he also can contribute in the learning processes of those involved.

 

How to choose a suitable training in information architecture now?I

Once you have decided to take a course in the field of information architecture, it is important to choose the right training. If you are interested in our practically-oriented training courses, it is possible to request personal advice as to which course would most appropriate. In this case, please contact us by telephone. We will be glad to  answer any questions you may have and supply you with the best recommendation of courses possible. Call +31(10)-4550408 and ask for Marleen Olde Hartmann. You will find a number of key points below, that can be used as guidelines for your own pre-selection of entrance level and way of teaching. As to the contents of the course, you get help on the relevant pages.

We can also provide course possibilities for a team or group by treating a course as semi-tailor-made course. So far, we have always incorporated a two-day appreciation course for municipalities in previous planning's and a master class for municipalities in house.

MASTER CLASS. In order to take the master class, two conditions will have to be met. First of all, you must work on architectures within your own organization (or expect to do so within a short timeframe) on the informational level. Moreover, you must have access to the relevant sources. This work related version of the course provides the best results because much attention and time go towards the specific circumstances of the participants' businesses. If you can not actively participate in this way the course is not suitable for you because you cannot develop yourself with the rest of the group. The thinking- and working level is of college standard with some years of professional experience in the information sciences. A maximum of 7 participants per class is applied.

APPRECIATION. For courses at the appreciation level, little to no previous knowledge is required, nor is there any need for access to relevant material within the business. Participants are not requested to spend any extra time and effort. Everyone that wants to gain an overview of the field can successfully pass this course. This goal can be pursued
interactively or individually. In each of these formats personal guidance by the teacher will be provided, (see own pace or appreciation-2days course). In the written version, one must of course invest some time to study the contents and answer the questions.

MODELS. The course in which the models are the subject shows many examples from reality. 'Watching and learning', in other words to compare solutions of others' to their own, is a good way for many people to acquire knowledge and learn from the experiences of others. Furthermore, it is easy to store for later use. In this course the emphasis lies more on the implementation level, particularly on creating information architectures by using practical examples as tool.
