Dr. Oliver Grasl passes to students his strong theoretical background, as well as strong experience in applying that knowledge to practical situations in enterprises of all sizes through hands-on exercises and case studies.

^{Enterprise architects must be good at two skills: to capture the essence of the enterprises they are trying to understand, redesign or even transform, i.e. they need to see the big picture; to communicate that big picture to all relevant stakeholders and help them make the right decisions. These skills make you valuable to the organisations you work for, whatever your concrete role. My objective is to put my students on the right path towards mastering these skills.}
