Workshop cogNIAM® core

Looking for an unambiguous and reliable way to capture the knowledge and experience of everyday practice and translate it into, for example, requirements, specifications or models? Then let us teach you in one day the basic principles that we have been applying for decades to get this done.

How do I ensure that my systems, processes and accountability documents align with the daily reality on the shop floor?

In the cogNIAM® core course, you will learn the underlying principles of the cogNIAM® methodology: using very concrete and understandable examples for everyone, you will identify step by step what knowledge is needed to manage the processes within an organization, how it is related to other issues and which rules apply.

The method is designed to enable an analyst to translate expert knowledge and experience into versatile models without assumptions.
